Fill me with poweress
guide me with a firm hand
I am your warrior
I am taking a stand

Redeeming what I once lost
helping others to find their way
As we heal our inner selves
You are there, standing guard

Mysterious and mischievous
nurturing and sweet
Strong and valiant

I am your daughter
at your knee
Listening and learning
Breaking the chains
setting myself free

Casey Scathach```````c May 11,1999

the gentle breeze brushes her hair back
the sun caresses her face
birds carry her name on air
listen, she calls you
with rain to nourish and cleanse
heat to lay down and dream in
and moonlight to envelope and be born again.

-

You, the trickster
Sitting at the crossroads
Waiting

Bringing messages
Interpreter between the veils

Bringing life lessons
Not always my choice
Always with a firm hand
And with a gentle voice

Waiting
Prompting
Giving that extra little push

Borrowing my trinkets
Returning them at will

Sitting
Waiting
Ever so still

Frustrating me
With your silly little games
My full attention given
When you call my name

No matter what you are called
Loki
Or
Elgeba
You sit at the crossroads waiting

Casey Scathach Aje~~~~~~~~~May 21, 1999

Forever Father
Eternal Consort
You with the cloak of green
Enveloping me in your warm embrace

The maiden comes to you
You dance and play
Courting her
Spring in your step
Promise in the dance

You hunt her
Gently you lay her down
On your bed of leaves
Magick on the Solstice eve

The harvest brings bitter news
For one so vigorous
For one in his prime
The days grow shorter
And so does your time

As you lay your head upon the Crone
She comforts you
You are not alone

Arise! Rejoice!
He has come
With the rising of the Sun
Once again reborn
On this day
The Solstice morn

Element of Life---Air

Swirling in circles
Floating and billowing is her skirt
Dance, Oya, dance
Summoning the winds of change

Cool breezes pushing through the curtains
Whispering ancient knowledge
Pause and listen
She is the bearer of compassion
She is Kuan Yin

Dark painted canvas
Full of diamonds
Lighting pathways home
From Caer Arianrhod

She surrounds you
With the breath of life

Element of Life-Fire

Hammering and forging
She consumes your soul
Lighting the fire
She takes control

A fiery mistress she can be
She has her soft side too
Words of eloquence she inspires
Healing hands for those in need

The passion burns within you
Take up the sword
The journey awaits you
Down the Red road

She is Brigid
Keeper of the flame
Mistress of Justice
Calling your name

Element of Life--Water

Moonlight reflections of jumbled, jeweled colors
Dancing and skipping
Towards you
Beckoning you to follow

You see her
Flowing silver hair
A hint of a smile
Skin glowing like pearls

Gliding gracefully upon the waves
Diving into the shadowy depths
Familiar but yet mysterious

She is the eternal mother
Life springs from her watery womb
The never empty cauldron

She is Stella Maris
Crowned by the stars
She is Yemaya
Mother to us all

Element of Life-Earth

When we are born, you shelter us and give us warmth
When we are growing, you provide us nourishment
Your seasons teach us the cycle of life
When we fade, you cradle us and we become one

Gaia, mother of all living creatures
Showing us the promise with the green shoots of Spring
Nurturing, sensual, ripening with the Summer sun
Spilling forth your bounty when Autumn comes
Winter brings a dormant womb that is recycling
Bringing us to the brink to start anew

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Casey Scathach Aje-----May 28,1999~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

She with the all knowing eye of two faces
One of royal blue and youth
Beautiful and desirable
Giving birth to a nation
Our mother who nurtures us
Cradling us to her bosom

She with the all knowing eye of two faces
One of deepest black and knowledge
Withered, aged, older than time
Standing guard over her people
Guiding them back to her ancient womb

She with the all knowing eye of two faces
Mother and Crone
With us at the beginning and at the end

She with the all knowing eye of two faces
Sees all injustice
A quick and swift warrior is she
Do not fear the unleashing of her power

She with the all knowing eye of two faces
Teaches through destruction
To renew the life process

She with the all knowing eye of two faces
Cailleach
