Mr. Squeak and Smidgineeg by Laurie Zanardelli

'The great Goddess Bast looked down on her son,
and said 'Kitty Mau it's time that you come
home to where you're again young and free,
and there is no pain to hinder thee.
Come to the Summerlands, I'll show you the way
to where Zachary and Dizzy are waiting to play!'
So the beautiful Squeakers looked at mom and dad
and said 'Please let me go now, and don't be sad.
This body I'm in now is so full of pain,
let me go to the Summerlands, and live again!
Zachary and Dizzy are waiting for me,
we'll come back again, I promise, you'll see.
You'll feel the light touch of our paws in the night
just checking to make sure everything is alright.
I promise we'll come back mom and dad don't you see?
The great Goddess Bast promised it to me.'

A Return to the Old Age Wisdom by our dear and good brother, Doug Luzar

Love is the not only the best, it is the only Medicine to heal the Earth today. Love Travels between the Worlds, like Sweetgrass and Music. Deepen Your Laugh and Smile lines, they are Beauty.

Owl

In the mystery and wonder of Goddess’ night

Owl spreads her great wings and takes to flight
Full moon lavishes silver on Owl’s path at night
As she dives and glides in her spectacular flight

Darkness the glory of Goddess’ night

For Owl is the medium of perfect sight
Eyes lit with wisdom rule in silvery night
With awareness unimaginable to human sight

Hecate the Goddess who rules sacred night

Embraces with darkness Owl’s elegant flight
Moonlit wings in turn caress the soul of night
Goddess and Owl are magically one in flight

The Goddess' Gift to Colorado by Barbara Carvallo

The elegant and stunning Columbine with the blue of the peaks, the pristine white of the snow and the yellow gold of the Planes is Colorado’s State Flower.  A magnificently hearty little perennial she scatters herself across the Great Rocky Mountains in the Goddess' sweet spring.  She can be grown in a garden with good drainage and a little shade from the high heat.  I have had mine last until mid-summer.  There are many colors, but the blue belongs to my home, Colorado.

The Lovely Viola by Barbara Carvallo

 

 

The season has been hard starting. The freeze took nearly all of my tulips, all of my daffodils; most of my crocus and my large purple alliums (cover photo) are small and sparse. However, the Goddess has seen fit to give me a stunning and magnificent show of viola. I have planted these for many years in many varieties. They cross pollinated to produce many shades and shapes. I give you then, the faces of the lovely viola.
