Unite

Nothing s real or possible until you do it which means nothing is impossible, or at least, there is a lot less that is impossible than we think. This morning I heard the doctor and writer Kate Lister, who has written a book on the history of sex, all about overcoming violence and prudery and shame. She said, “We’re not there yet. But we’re moving there.” Kate Lister.  This is a time more than ever to be open and open ourselves to new possibilities and to the determination to affect change. This is the time to face the dark chamber of despair and deal with the parts of ourselves that, for self protection have become frozen over with cynicism. This is the time to find in those dark places the discontent and sadness that will become desire and will, to lend our magic, or energy and our prayers to turning the wheel. Recently, on Valentine’s Day, women all over the world, joining with needs all over the world are dancing against the violence done against them, realizing that the violence done to women is one with the violence done to the earth and the earth’s oppressed people. At this moment we need to call up the Mother, and wake the Earth. We need to unite with this spirits of this world and join ourselves to its power. And, in some way we need to covene, to join with each other, solitary or not, joining our needs, our longings and our workings together for all of our work is the Great Work, and there is no time to lose. Witches unite. Let us unite in heart with each other. Witches unite. There are people all around you who are working and longing, whom we had no idea had anything in common with us. Witches unite. The river that winds around my house is filled with geese and ducks dive bombing. Squirrels are scampering up trees not only in joy but in the search for late winter food. The earth is filled with the twisting roots of the sycamore. Time to unite to these. Witches unite. There are lost parts of your heart which you have not touched in many years. Unite. Even if you seem to be on your own, practicing your rites, keeping faith in secret, doing your small part and feeling small, you are not alone. I am with you. Unite.
