-Pagan-

Pagan Oaths recognized nationally here in the U.S. 

 A Pledge to Pagan Spirituality I am a Pagan and I dedicate Myself to channeling the Spiritual Energy of my Inner Self to help and to heal myself and others.  I know that I am a part of the Whole of Nature. 

 May I grow in understanding of the Unity of all Nature. 

 May I always walk in Balance.  

 May I always be mindful of the diversity of Nature as well as its Unity and may I always be tolerant of those whose race, appearance, sex, sexual preference, culture, and other ways differ from my own. 

May I use the Force (psychic power) wisely and never use it for aggression nor for malevolent purposes. 

May I never direct it to curtail the free will of another.  

May I always be mindful that I create my own reality and that I have the power within me to create positivity in my life. 

May I always act in honorable ways: being honest with myself and others, keeping my word whenever I have given it, fulfilling all responsibilities and commitments I have taken on to the best of my ability. * 

 May I always remember that whatever is sent out always returns magnified to the sender. 

 May the Forces of Karma move swiftly to remind me of these spiritual commitments when I have begin to falter from them, and may I use this Karmic feedback to help myself grow and be more attuned to my Inner Pagan Spirit.  

 May I always remain strong and committed to my Spiritual ideals in the face of adversity and negativity. 

May the Force of my Inner Spirit ground out all malevolence directed my way and transform it into positivity. 

May my Inner Light shine so strongly that malevolent forces can not even approach my sphere of existence.  

 May I always grow in Inner Wisdom & Understanding. 

 May I see every problem that I face as an opportunity to develop myself spiritually in solving it. 

 May I always act out of Love to all other beings on this Planet -- to other humans, to plants, to animals, to minerals, to elementals, to spirits, and to other entities. 

May I always be mindful that the Goddess and God in all their forms dwell within me and that this divinity is reflected through my own Inner Self, my Pagan Spirit. 

May I always channel Love and Light from my being. May my Inner Spirit, rather than my ego self, guide all my thoughts, feelings, and actions.

SO MOTE IT BE

-Wiccan Rede-

Bide ye wiccan laws you must, in perfect love and perfect trust 

Live ye must and let to live, fairly take and fairly give 

 For the circle thrice about to keep unwelcome spirits out  

To bind ye spell well every time, let the spell be spake in rhyme 

Soft of eye and light of touch, speak ye little, listen much 

Deosil go by the waxing moon, chanting out ye baleful tune

When ye Lady's moon is new, kiss ye hand to her times two 

 When ye moon rides at her peak, then ye heart's desire seek 

 Heed the north winds mighty gale, lock the door and trim the sail 

When the wind comes from the south, love will kiss thee on the mouth 

When the wind blows from the east, expect the new and set the feast. 

Nine woods in the cauldron go, burn them fast and burn them slow 

Elder be ye Lady's tree, burn it not or cursed ye'll be 

When the wheel begins to turn, soon ye Beltane fires will burn 

When the wheel hath turned a Yule light the log the Horned One rules Heed ye flower, bush and tree, by the Lady blessed be 

Where the rippling waters go, cast a stone, the truth ye'll know 

When ye have and hold a need, harken not to others greed 

With a fool no season spend, or be counted as his friend 

Merry meet and merry part, bright the cheeks and warm the heart. 

Mind ye threefold law ye should three times bad and three times good

When misfortune is enow, wear the star upon thy brow

True in love my ye ever be, lest thy love be false to thee

These eight words the wiccan rede fulfill; An harm ye none, do what ye will.

-Holidays-     

On Easter Sunday, everywhere, the children hunt the many colored Easter eggs, brought by the Easter rabbit. This is the vestige of a fertility rite, the eggs and the rabbit both symbolizing fertility. The rabbit was the escort of the Germanic goddess Ostara who gave her name to the festival by way of the German Ostern. 

 The first day of Spring holds much in the way of folklore. It is also known as the Spring Equinox, Ostara, Eostre's Day, Alban Eilir, the Vernal Equinox, or Festival of the Trees. It takes place between March 19 and 22. It marks the first day of true spring (verses the balmy weather that may precede it.) 

 The day and night is equal on this day, thus the name of Equinox. There is a story in one culture that says that the sun has begun to win it's race with the night and that the days get longer as the sun pulls ahead. (Followed by the fact that the sun begins to lose the race at Mid-Summer, and loses the race at Mid-Winter just to start the race again the next day.) 

 It is a time of beginnings, of action, of planting seeds for future grains, and of tending gardens. On the first Sunday after the first full moon following Eostre's Day (the name from which the Easter was derived), the Christian religion celebrates it's Easter Day.

Spring is a time of the Earth's renewal, a rousing of nature after the cold sleep of winter. As such, it is an ideal time to clean your home to welcome the new season. 

 Spring cleaning is more than physical work. Some cultures see it as a concentrated effort on their part to rid themselves of problems and negativity of the past months and tho prepare themselves for the coming spring and summer.
