The Cottage Wytch: answer me with silence...

Sunday, November 6, 2016

answer me with silence...

When my search is fruitless

And my spirit pines for rest

Setting sun a frozen field

Answer me with silence

Fill with light my longing soul

As the chill of winter grows

Tell me what the wide moors know

Answer me with silence

Say not your thoughts

Say nothing at all

You, my love, you know me well

Touch me where my true heart dwells

Where there are no words to say

Answer me with silence

When my search is fruitless

And my spirit pines for rest

All things I hold dearest

Answer me with silence

(Laura Powers/Dwight Liles)

Astraea

Astraea ("the star-maiden") is the daughter of Zeus and Themis. She was, as was her mother, a goddess of justice. During the Golden Age, when the gods dwelled among mankind, she lived on the earth. When evil and wickedness increased its grip on humanity, the gods abandoned the habitations of mankind. Astraea was the last to leave and took up her abode among the stars where she was transformed into the constellation Virgo.

Esbats

Esbats are rites held for the purpose of communing with the Moon's energies and are regarded as the time for most magickal workings. As opposed to the Sabbats, which are fire or sun festivals, Esbats are dedicated to the Moon in her various phases. These are considered the 'working' celebrations, the time in which to attract, banish, invoke protection, or to perform any other magickal workings. Most Sabbat festivals are held in order to celebrate the changing of the seasons, the gathering of the harvest, etc. The Esbats are held in honor of the Goddess. The Lunar Year contains 13 Full Moons.
