Imbolc blessings to you and all those you hold dear, wherever you are, all around the world.

May the Goddess Brighde be in your hearts and her love bring all the goodness of the first awakenings of spring to you and those around you. Brighde, Brigit or Brigid was celebrated as the Goddess of Fertility, may she bring prosperity, fertility and happiness into all aspects of your lives. Brigid was said to be the mother of the God Yule, she is nursing him now at Imbolc as he grows strong. She is known as the fire goddess and many celebrations centre around fire building and the lighting of candles. Brigid is one of the few Pagan goddesses who still survives to this day, she was adopted by the Christian church and was worshipped as Saint Brigit,  although she was de canonised in the 1960s, she is still venerated in Ireland. 

Embrace the spirit of Brigid and bring her love and joy into your lives. Our earth is awakening, allow yourselves to awaken and blossom, you will be amazed at the wonderful happiness that lies waiting ahead of you. Follow the Brigid Bliss.

Embrace your dreams through all of the night, tomorrow begins with a brand new light.

As you fall asleep, think with gratitude of the day that has been today. It may have been a good day, it may not have been the day you had hoped for. Somewhere within that day there will have been things that you can be grateful for. Think of those things as you fall asleep, dwelling on the positive to help you through the night. Tomorrow is always a brand new dawn with its own hopes and dreams, whatever has happened the day before, a new light will make everything seem different.

Mabon Autumn equinox blessings to you, free e-cards to send!

Mabon or the Autumn Equinox will soon be upon us. This is a time when the earth is in perfect balance, day and night are of equal length. Mabon is celebrated on September 21st, in the Northern Hemisphere, in the Southern Hemsiphere it is the time for Oestara, the spring Equinox.  Mabon is the season of the second harvest, a time when apples, cherries, plums and blackberries are seen all around us and it is a wonderful time to give thanks to our Mother Earth for all she has provided for us. I particularly like going blackberry picking, despite the thorns there is something wonderful about just being able to pick plum ripe blackberries straight from the hedgerows and eat them, knowing they are just growing there as nature intended them to be.

Anytime is a time to let loved ones know you are thinking of them however Mabon would be a good moment in time to take a breath to catch up with those loved ones and perhaps drop them a line or two to say hi. I've made these free e-cards so that you can do just that and I shall try and get around to making a few more over the next few days. Simply right click on any of these images and save them to your computer, print out or email to your loved ones.

When a new day begins, dare to smile gratefully. Gratitude quote. Steve Maraboli

When a new day begins, dare to smile gratefully. When there is darkness, dare to be the first to shine a light. Steve Maraboli

Love this gratitude quote, it can often be hard to be the first to shine a light when all around appears to be darkness. However daring to shine that light and smile even when you really don't feel like it can often so lift your spirits and affect those around you. Practising gratitude is a fabulous way to lift your spirits on a daily basis, especially on those darker days. 

Blessings of gratitude to you, Alison xxx

We are born as magical beings, each of us has the innate ability to be magical. Pagan Spiritual Quotation

We are born as magical beings, each of us has the innate ability to be magical, we just need to tap into that source.

Mother nature teaches us that all we need we already have. In our busy lives we have often forgotten the ways of the old. In following a simple Pagan lifestyle we learn to follow the ways of the earth and listen to the ancient wisdom Mother Nature has to offer us. 

Magickal blessings to you, AstarteAlison

Listen closely for your spirit is always speaking to you. Positive Inspirational Quote. Shari Alyse

The goal of life is to make your heartbeat match the beat of the universe, to match your nature with Nature. Joseph Campbell.

The goal of life is to make your heartbeat match the beat of the universe, to match your nature with Nature. Joseph Campbell.

Fabulous quote from the wonderful writer Joseph Campbell. The lovely photography is by Denis Savoie Photography.

It is important as we go through life that we are working with Mother Nature not against her. It is all too easy in the busy lives we lead to forget the importance that nature has to play in all our lives, our happiness and our spiritual development.

"Joseph Campbell was the world s greatest authority on myth, his monumental four-volume The Masks of God is a definitive work on the subject, and in Myths to Live By he explores how these enduring myths still influence our daily lives and can provide personal meaning in our lives. Myths are a way of explaining the cosmos, the origin of life and Man s relationship with their environment; they play a cohesive role in society. Joseph Campbell analyses myth in psychoanalytic terms to reveal their essential qualities and to demonstrate how they continue to reflect human needs, providing reassurance even in today s world. Ranging from Zen koans and Indian aesthetics to walking on the moon, Joseph Campbell explores how myth and religion follow the same archetypes, which are not exclusive to any single race, religion or region. Campbell believed that all religion is a search for the same transcendent and fundamental spiritual truths. He shows how we must recognise the common denominators between differing myths and faiths and allow this knowledge to fulfil human potential everywhere."

Magick is not a practice. It is a living, breathing web of energy that, with our permission, can encase our every action. Dorothy Morrison Pagan Quote

Magick is not a practice. It is a living, breathing web of energy that, with our permission, can encase our every action. Dorothy Morrison
This is a close up of a frosty leaf that I took last year. How can we can not believe in the existence of magick when we see something as amazing as this? Mother Nature is truly magickal and we are surrounded by her magick everyday. On days that we may not be feeling so happy ourselves or may be suffering for one reason or another it is good to lift our spirits by sending out gratitude for the wonderful world we are lucky to call our home.

Lovers don't finally meet somewhere. They're in each other all along. Rumi quote on love

The minute I heard my first love story I started looking for you, not knowing how blind that was.  Lovers don't finally meet somewhere. They're in each other all along. Rumi,
The Illustrated Rumi: A Treasury of Wisdom from the Poet of the Soul

Rumi's book  The Illustrated Rumi: A Treasury of Wisdom from the Poet of the Soul is a wonderful collection of his work. "The great Shaikh Jalaluddin Rumi is rightly considered the most outstanding mystic poet of all time and one of the most popular and widely read poets today. Anyone who purchases this outstanding, beautifully illustrated book will see why. It contains most of Rumi's well known stories, all with excellent translations.

This is a book anyone needing guidance through the difficulties of life will greatly appreciate." Amazon

Another book worth picking up is Rumi's Little Book Of Life: The Garden of the Soul, the Heart, and the Spirit , this is a wonderfully uplifting read I would recommend to anyone. "This collection of mystical poetry focuses on one of life's core issues: coming to terms with the inner life. During the course of life, each of us is engaged on an inner journey. RUMI'S LITTLE BOOK OF LIFE is a guidebook for that journey. The poetry is a companion for those who consciously enter the inner world to explore the gardens within - out of the everyday 'world of dust'- through an ascending hierarchy that restores one's soul to the heart; the heart of the spirit; and in finding spirit, transcending all." http://www.amazon.co.uk

Life will give you whatever experience is most helpful for the evolution of your consciousness. Eckhart Tolle

Life will give you whatever experience is most helpful for the evolution of your consciousness. How do you know this is the experience you need? Because this is the experience you are having at this moment. Eckhart Tolle

All experiences, both good and bad can lead to spiritual growth. Whatever you are experiencing will help you along the path even if the reason is not clear at the time. Embrace life with all its up and downs and trust that each experience is helping your soul to evolve. Experience everything in the moment, feel the emotions as they happen, practice mindfulness and trust you are on the right path
