The Wayshower

Today's Blessing...

May your journey through the universal questions of life bring you to a new moment of awareness.

 May it be an enlightening one.

May you find embedded in the past, like all the students of life before you, the answers you are seeking now.

May they awaken that in you which is deeper than fact, truer than fiction, full of faith.

May you come to know that in every human event is a particle of the Divine to which we turn for meaning here, to which we tend for fullness of life hereafter.

welcome to the wisdom of the world

Today's Blessing...

I invite you to enter for a moment into Sacred Time and Space, into a way of seeing that is broad and spacious.

See this Day, from the time you arose this morning until you sleep this evening, as one Ceremony, divided into small and familiar rituals, your Heart as the Altar. You, part of the Cycles of Light and Darkness.

Now begin to see your Life, from the moment of your Conception until the time of your Death as one long, continuous Ceremony, filled with many rituals, some familiar, some unknown and challenging. Your Home and all Your Relations, the Altar.  You, part of many Seasons and Cycles.

Now see this Ceremony of your Life as part of a much larger Ceremony that extends Seven Generations into the Past and Seven into the Future, made up of many Births and Deaths.  This beautiful spinning Earth the Altar.  You, part of the great Ebb and Flow.

Now, if You will, imagine this larger Ceremony to be but one part of a Ceremony so grand, so magnificent as to be hardly comprehensible, a great, vast Ceremonial Circle, rich and vibrant with millions upon millions of swirling Circles of Dancing Light, and You, one of those Dancing Circles, a Dancer on the Altar that is the Universe, where Time is Eternal.

May You Dance In Beauty.

Today's Blessing...

Dear Heavenly Father and Universal Mother:

If it be in accordance with your will, I pray that this new age in human history be a time of spiritual renaissance, a "second Enlightenment" that will heighten values and help everyone to realize their true purpose in life.

I pray for peace and justice, and love and light.

I pray for an abundance of beauty, truth and goodness in the lives of all the inhabitants of this troubled world.  May there be harmony, sustainability, and evolutionary progress in the physiosphere, the biosphere, and the noosphere.

Thank you for this gift of consciousness, dear God.

Amen

Today's Blessing...

Let us be united;
Let us speak in harmony;
Let our minds apprehend alike.
Common be our prayer,
Common be the end of our assembly;
Common be our resolution;
Common be our deliberations.
Alike be our feelings;
Unified be our hearts;
Common be our intentions;
Perfect be our unity.

Today's Blessing... Charge of the Goddess

Hear the words of the Star Goddess,the dust of whose feet are the hosts of heaven,whose body encircles the universe:

I who am the beauty of the green earth and the white moonamong the stars and the mysteries of the waters,I call upon your soul to arise and come unto me.

For I am the soul of nature that gives life to the universe.From Me all things proceed and unto Me they must return.

Let My worship be in the heart that rejoices,for behold-- all acts of love and pleasure are My rituals.Let there be beauty and strength,power and compassion,honor and humility,mirth and reverence within you.

And you who seek to know Me,know that your seeking and yearning will avail you not,unless you know the Mystery:for if that which you seek,you find not within yourself,you will never find it without.

For behold, I have been there with you from the beginning,and I am that which is attained at the end of desire.

that you know us even when we don't know ourselves.
that there's no escaping you, and no reason to.
that there is no such thing as hell except forgetting that heaven is here, now.

life on earth can be so painful.

in our lives that are just as short as they are long,
just as precious as they are strong,
please help us to remember.
that you love us all.

Today's Blessing... The Great Invocation

From the point of Light within the Mind of God
Let light stream forth into the minds of men.
Let Light descend on Earth.

From the point of Love within the Heart of God
Let love stream forth into the hearts of men.
May * Christ return to Earth.

From the centre where the Will of God is known
Let purpose guide the little wills of men --
The purpose which the Masters know and serve.

From the centre which we call the race of men
Let the Plan of Love and Light work out.
And may it seal the door where evil dwells.

Let Light and Love and Power
restore the Plan on Earth.

Today's Blessing... Jewish Mystical Hymn

The earth is full of your goodness,
your greatness and understanding,
your wisdom and harmony.
How wonderful are the lights that you created.
You formed them with strength and power
and they shine very wonderfully on the world,
magnificent in their splendour.
They arise in radiance and go down in joy.
Reverently they fulfill your divine will.
They are tributes to your name
as they exalt your sovereign rule in song.

jewish mystical hymn   516 b.c.e. - 70 c.e.
