THE MOON GODDESS - In the darkness of the night, when unknown lies all around. An orb in the sky, watching over everyone. Its silver rays incasing every thing in light as the Sun sleeps deeply. She is the Moon Goddess, protecting us through the night.

THE WAY THAT WE FEEL - Praise to God for God is great So why are our lives full of hate, Death and destruction, of all we behold, how many times must we be told. We're killing our brothers in the name of the Lord and raping our sisters when we get bored, We're destroying the planet, in our quest for our needs when will we learn, its only greed. our young know no better its what they've been taught must they grow old to fight and be fought. We pray for salvation, that this sickness will heal but just look inside ourselves, its the way that we feel. - By HAYLEYBRIGHTEYESUK
HEAR YE, HEAR YE - Engagements are by nature temporary, A passageway to fields in which we'll grow. But I have found these days of passage very Much like the wedded world we soon will know. There is a permanence in our relation Drawn not from law or custom but from love. The days have built a broad and firm foundation That no hard rain will easily remove. I am yours, though not quite yet your wife; You are mine, with one more door ahead. Soon, soon we will begin our brave new life, Joined in thought and feeling, hearth and bed. Till then we'll wait with patience and with pleasure. This year of love and the years to come with you I'll always treasure. - By AMBERWELLS (Morgana)

A POEM IN FREE VERSE - Dearest Aset; Mother, of this Child of Isis, of this Child of Bastet, of this Child Of Sekhmet, Hear me. Heal me. I am glad this night that Time has come. And my answer to your call is the proper action. I am at peace. In addition I must bring a gift, what would like me to do? For your children who know you, for your children who don't know you yet? Tell me stories of the great teachers you have known, the healers, men and women with a vision from within, who sought you to offer you their work upon your altar, knowing you would value it. Mother of vastness, of Time, of Space, I am committed, and offered upon your altar, let us, loving, a new work commence. Freely. So I will. Namaste!!! - By LALITAKRSNA

POEM FOR SEKHMET - Lady in Red... Lady of Fire... Lion Headed Goddess... Bastet's Dark Twin. Warrior Goddess... Healer Divine... Fierce Blood Drinker... Daughter of Ra Protect us Guide us Hear us pray... Lady Sekhmet show us your ways - LADYNIMUE
Blessed Mother protect your daughters. Watch over my sisters and brothers. And wrap your wings of comfort around us. Blessed Goddess be in our hearts. Give strength to those who suffer. Give peace to those who mourn. Divine Light shine in the dark. And be a hope. To those who despair. Healing Darkness lend us time. To rest and heal. And know that the end is not the end. Blessed Aset I grieve for the women. Who are everywhere tortured. At this moment in time. And I grieve that those. Who take delight in such terror. Will never understand. Will never regret. Will never feel the pain they have caused. And know that they were wrong. Blessed Mother, Divine Goddess, Holy Aset. All I can do is cry to you. That even in the midst of despair. They will be touched by a feather. Of your wings of comfort. And know that they are loved. - By MEBH
SHINE FORTH - Shine forth your light. Those who are blessed enough to shine. Illuminate the darkness. So that others, too, may see. Speak out with love. Those who are blessed enough to speak. Shatter the silence. So that others, too, may cast out fear. - By SNOWBIRD
Reflections - As I gaze into the well of my soul, I wonder--"Will I be enough for Her?" Will my flawed, cracked spirit Be a suitable offering to Aset? This new journey, to Her service A long, but not lonely road Still, I wonder if I'll find my way With only my heart to offer at journey's end. By LADYSIM
Aset Aset Great-of Light Guardian of Paths-Earth, Air, Fire, Water-Celestial Ways to the-After Life Blessings Aset! By COUERDELEON
Poem/Prayer to Mother Goddess Aset - Dearest Goddess, ***Mother Aset***, As beloved as Yasota, Today my head hangs down in grief. All my efforts, even successful ones, are failures, not having made me happy. Nor satisfied my ancestors. My children run on, disregarding me, along the paths where evils lay, in wait for me, So many years ago. My arms, uplifted to protect them, are unseen. My voice, trying to warn them, crackles like a dying bird. Flames are near! You are here, Aset, embrace me! I have given up the vanity of fufilling expectations! Sustain me! Bring me to life and health again! A better woman make of me! In your Temple. In these hours I have. Before I must start again. Spare me. To rest, learn with you and yours, and recover. O Mighty Aset, teach me Your Skills and make me strong from Your Strength, Because You suffered! In Your wanderings! In the marshes! Of the Nile! When I was Sekhet-RE. Teach me! Mother, that I may learn to embrace you, and become Your Child, Happy once again. And I know, that it is because you love me, Mother Aset, Beautiful Aset, Beautiful Mati, Goddess of Eternality that I will smile!!! Again! Please heal my daughters. Thankyou. By LALITAKRSNA
YULTIDE THOUGHTS - Leaves fallen, branches bare, snowflakes chasing the winter hare. As we look across the plain, the sun is sleeping once again. We plan our days with careful sight, as nightfall brings our first cold night. Druids listening to the crier, time to light the beacon fire. Yuletide comes around once more, the winter solstice knocks the door. Morning breaks on winter's day, the cold wind has it's say. Making holly wreaths to hang, roast chestnuts going bang. Granny's cooking smelling good, time to have some Yuletide pud. Wishbones broken, thoughts in tatters full stomachs that's what matters. Chocolates, nuts, things to eat, time to rest your weary feet. We celebrate this golden time with some tasty beers. The cycles of the seasons have clocked up two thousand years. To all who listens may I say, "Merry Yuletide" on this day. The years last words I leave with thee, enjoy yourself and blessed be! - By ALWYN
TEARS OF THE GODDESS - I weep For My children Who will not return to Me. I sigh In deep despair I reach out, but cannot touch their hearts. Hear Me Know Me Feel My love. For I am Aset She who Hears. Even the softest cry Does not go unnoticed. Turn to Me I will not abandon you, My children. Turn to Me And we will dance together In perfect love And perfect trust. - By LADYSIM
TYNTAGYLL - Long ago in the South West of England a folklore tale begins. Iím standing in the castle ruins in Tyntagyll as my imagination brings, A flood of ancient mysteries as I look out across the sea. I wonder how much truth I know as the sea spray lands on me. Iíve heard so many wondrous stories about this mystically inspiring land. Many of them must be true as I connect with natureís hand. The wind whistles its tune of wisdom as it brushes through my hair. I have the same feelings of the people that used to live there. Nothing here has changed for centuries as I sit down amongst the stones. I have a very special feeling here that chills me to my bones. I look across the other side as I see the waters still. The blue sky reflects down on the water from this magic land of Tyntagyll. - ALWYN
THE FOREST CALLS - The Forest Calls Restful thoughts on a forest walk, energy flowing, there is no talk. A mystical morning amongst the trees, the butterflies dance, the buzz of the bees. A feeling of comfort magically born, one with nature at the break of dawn. I hear a voice from times long gone; a ghostly echo sings her song. A joyful message she imparts to me, a love of nature, a reality. Folklore tales from her loving face, a wondrous beauty from the spirit of place. I have to listen to those words I hear, they gently flow into my ear. Reflections of the days gone past, the love of those that I hold dear. A special feeling that is all mine, transfixes me to this place in time. I really am engulfed in awe, in what I heard and what I saw. I know I have a bond of love, for that voice I hear above. I take another step along, the pathway as she sings her song. Mother Nature has her ways, to show us how to live our days. The beauty of the sky above, the tending hand of Mother love. The wisdom of the silent trees, they know of course, all our needs. The sleeping bird that's just awoke, the ivy hanging from the ancient oak. All these things reach out to me, from their place in history. I sit and watch the waterfall; I remember well, the forest calls. - By ALWYN

Mourning Moon, In Pale Ambers, She calls to me. Cool, Sweet breeze, Ocean Spray, She pours through me, Roars through me, Makes my spirit whole. Dead of Night, Brightest stars. Cool, sweet dew, As soft as silk, He clings to me, Sings to me, Calls my spirit home. By Sha'rui
HIEROGLYPHS - Pretty pictorals of words used on columns, bright colours made from flowers and stones-bright lights, the sunshines in straight beams towards me...Papyrus grows here,and is no longer extinct...I was Cleopatra once, tho no one would dare believe me...but my history says it all, and I paint the paintings, much like hieroglyphs...pictures to help explain my ancient story and leave something behind in remains, in bronze and oil paints. I am living for my death and am used to the graverobbing and exploiting...the long black hair says it all with my headress...I was a queen once, of an empire based upon me, and much appreciate the adoration and flattery. - By Kristin Noelle
SOUL REACHES ORIGIN - Returning to dreams, the soul reaches her origin. The collected consciousness, yes we have known this was where the spark of life first began. From dreams, yes! Weíve never really acknowledged this truth out of fear. What is fear but limits? Is there something wrong? We nearly collapsed from a flash of sadness and were saved by a single kiss. Nothingís wrong, we only need to keep searching for beauty. Let your tears be the key opening the doorway, clearing away the hatred like rain washing dirt? Heartbeat drum draws breath, returning lifeblood from Earth. From this single kiss came ecstasy and we reached trancendence. - Richard
A CALL TO ASET - I called to Her and waited, my heart in aching pain-My brother, much as my son, his life in danger's way. Into the temple, and facing East, I greeted Her with open wings-Mother, I stand before you, please help me face this beast. Before the words would come, from Her lips unto my soul, She chose at first to hold me-I would not be alone. Her strength and love upheld me,
as my arms rose high, I clung-and sobbing at her breast I stood, for quite some time undone. She told me I was Her child-and did not need to fear, She showed me with Her image-that She was always near. It took only a moment, the sobbing slowly ceased. Renewed, reborn, returned to life, the fear was now released. ---MARIA.
