I'll take you to where the world is upside down

Where air is unnecessary

Darkness heightens your sensations

Swallow the embracing tides

Follow the streams

Find tranquility

Dare to open your eyes

The sting of ocean salt..has it disappeared?

The creatures amongst you have feared your arrival

Will you take advantage?

Will you be overpowering in a world not of your own?

No longer a virgin to Poseidon's home

Water: the bases of life, and the cause of many deaths

Never be in fear of the elements

For your body was made from them

Are you ready to indulge in a new realm?

"Let your mind start a journey through a strange new world. Leave all thoughts of the world you know before. Let your soul take you where you long to be. Close your eyes let your spirit start to soar, and you'll live as you've never lived before"

-Phantom of the Opera

 Bide within the Law you must, in perfect Love and perfect Trust. Live you must and let to live, fairly take and fairly give. For tread the Circle thrice about to keep unwelcome spirits out. To bind the spell well every time, let the spell be said in rhyme. Light of eye and soft of touch, speak you little, listen much.

Honor the Old Ones in deed and name, let love and light be our guides again. Deosil go by the waxing moon, chanting out the joyful tune. Widdershins go when the moon doth wane, and the werewolf howls by the dread wolfsbane. When the Lady's moon is new, kiss the hand to Her times two. When the moon rides at Her peak then your heart's desire seek. Heed the North winds mighty gale, lock the door and trim the sail. When the Wind blows from the East, expect the new and set the feast. When the wind comes from the South, love will kiss you on the mouth. When the wind whispers from the West, all hearts will find peace and rest. Nine woods in the Cauldron go, burn them fast and burn them slow. Birch wood in the fire goes to represent what the Lady knows. Oak in the forest, towers with might in the fire it brings the God's insight. Rowan is a tree of power causing life and magick to flower. Willows at the waterside stand ready to help us to the Summerland. Hawthorn is burned to purify and to draw faerie to your eye. Hazel-the tree of wisdom and learning- adds its strength to the bright fire burning. White are the flowers of Apple tree that brings us fruits of fertility. Grapes grow upon the vine giving us both joy and wine. Fir does mark the evergreen to represent immortality seen. But - Elder is the Lady's tree burn it not or cursed you'll be. Four times the Major Sabbats mark in the light and in the dark. As the old year starts to wane the new begins, it's now Samhain. When the time for Imbolg shows watch for flowers through the snows. When the wheel begins to turn soon the Beltane fires will burn. As the wheel turns to Lammas night power is brought to magick rite. Four times the Minor Sabbats fall use the Sun to mark them all. When the wheel has turned to Yule light the log the Horned One rules. In the spring, when night equals day time for Ostara to come our way. When the Sun has reached it's height time for Oak and Holly to fight. Harvesting comes to one and all when the Autumn Equinox does fall. Heed the flower, bush, and tree By the Lady blessed you'll be. Where the rippling waters go cast a stone, the truth you'll know. When you have and hold a need, harken not to others greed. With a fool no season spend Lest you be counted as his friend. Merry Meet and Merry Part bright the cheeks and warm the heart. Mind the Three-fold Laws you should three times bad and three times good. When misfortune is enow wear the star upon your brow. True in love you must ever be unless your love is false to thee. Eight words the Rede fulfil "An' ye harm none, do what ye wilt".

Motivating You

The time is coming for you to pick up your life, shove it in the back seat of your car and move forward. Butterflies? Hell yes. Excited? Of course. You're the lead guy here. You're the one at the top. You feel like if you fail everything falls. Well, you're completely wrong; not only will you not fail, but you are not alone, you are not the only one in this. You will have help whenever you need it, you will have all the support you can get. Doubt is going to visit you, but you'll have someone to help you get through everything. Never take life too seriously. Go with the flow. Jeremy you are going to be fine. You are going to succeed. Never be ashamed to make a mistake, never be ashamed to ask for help. You're smarter, wiser, and more mature than you think. You have the potential and ability to finish what needs to be done. I'll be there every step of the way for you. You want me there; I'll be there. Hold your head up, walk forward, and expect a great life.

Dear Ohio

It's times like these when you sit back and ponder if what you're doing is the right thing for yourself and those effected by the things you do. You wonder if the pros outweigh the cons. Babi, you're on the right track, and I'm not saying that because it's bringing you to me, but because you're stepping outside your comfort zone, you're doing what you need to do to provide better for your children. If you ever come to a point in your life where you don't think you can continue or succeed, let me in, let me help. I'm always going to be here to encourage you, I'm on your side. You don't have to work solo, I'm your partner in it all. I've grown to love you more than I've loved another, in such a short period of time, normally that would scare me, but this time, it excites me. You're everything I could ever ask for in a man and more. We'll have a good life hunni, and because we're both stubborn it'll be fun ;) Smile hun, you're doing alright.
