Autumn arrived here at 1:31 am today. So I am paying my tribute to one of my favourite seasons.

Imbolc

Imbolc Night

Imbolc candles burn so bright,

On windows sills they sit

They call the Sun to see the light;

Through eve we keep them lit

We plow the field to sow the seeds,

As winter begins to die

Brigid’s bed made and crosses weaved

On our altar they so lie

Candle flames surround the night

With love our circle’s cast

  Promise of spring, we honor Brigid

The time has now come at last

~ written by Lady Caer Morganna

Imbolc marks the early signs of Spring, such a snowdrops and crocuses, and the lengthening of days. The lighting of fires and candles represent the return of the Sun. We honor the Goddess Brighid as the waiting bride of the returning Sun God, and we celebrate a ritual of cleansing and purification.

Ostara

Ode To Ostara

Ode to Ostara, Goddess of Spring,

Goddess of fertile new beginning.

Goddess of hope, Goddess of bloom,

Goddess of all the life held in a womb.

As the wind kisses her plentiful hair,

Scent of new blossoms fills each whiff of air;

As she treads lightly on frozen earth crest,

One thousand butterflies rise from their rest.

As she strokes gently and gives the plants hopes,

Rainbows bloom over the vales and hill tops;

As she gazes up the lovely blue skies,

Larks charm the world with their musical cries.

Ode to thee, the smile in a flower,

Ode to thee, the life in rain shower;

Ode to thee, the Goddess of Spring

For all the blessings that you always bring.

Beltane

Queen of May

The leaves are budding across the land
on the ash and oak and hawthorn trees.
Magic rises around us in the forest
and the hedges are filled with laughter and love.
Dear lady, we offer you a gift,
a gathering of flowers picked by our hands,
woven into the circle of endless life.
The bright colors of nature herself
blend together to honor you,
Queen of spring,
as we give you honor this day.
Spring is here and the land is fertile,
ready to offer up gifts in your name.
we pay you tribute, our lady,
daughter of the Fae
and ask your blessing this Beltane.

It's time to celebrate.
