I just know pan would be playing the fuck out of his flute in my garden! Brigid would be there too, of course. Remember to enjoy the flowers this summer for the nature gods! 💚🌸

Been Gone a LONG Time;

But I did it! I graduated from mortuary school! So proud of myself, my husband, our son. They all helped me, and I did it <3

SELF AND THE NATURAL WORLD

Thousands of years ago "MAN" ( used here to identify the "human species") was DEEPLY interconnected - Naure AND THE SELF - mainly in order to survive!

NATURE provided food, shelter, clothing and MAN KNEW this through his self-awareness and thought/acted accordingly - banded together to live more effectively, efficiently and safely; worked WITH Nature IN GRATITUDE, HUMILITY AND HUMBLENESS

THERE WAS BALANCE AND HARMONY and THE LIGHT GREW!

BUT.............

Then MAN started thinking with the EGO and started to see HIMSELF as BETTER THAN, MORE POWERFUL, SMARTER

MAN began to value HIMSELF MORE than Nature, believing that HE could control Nature, make it do what HE wanted!

NO MORE "Living WITH Nature"!!!!!!!!!!! CONTROL it instead!!!

HE began to create RELIGIONS based upon HIS OWN IMAGE that validated HIS POWER AND CONTROL OVER NATURE AND OTHER MEN!

HE began to create 'classes' of MEN - some HE was subservient to and some he had Power over.

HE began to create more and more false 'sensual pleasures' at the expense of Nature and of other MEN.

SOME EVEN began to "sell THEIR Souls" in search of even more.

AND THE LIGHT KEPT GETTING DIMMER...............

SO............NOW WHAT!???????

Like any seed,

You start WITHIN, you start with yourSELF

You get back in touch with your HEART AND YOUR LIGHT WITHIN

HOW?

Drop your Ego into a "parking space" in your Mind

GET Back in touch with NATURE WITH HUMILITY, NOT EGO!

GIVE YOURSELF DAILY TIME TO GO WITHIN

BE HERE NOW/BE NOW HERE" (see a few Posts ago)

Reconnect yourSELF to that which REALLY Matters:

................YOUR LIGHT within YOU!!!

I always bake these honey cakes every Beltane Eve so I can leave some out with a glass of milk for any of the fair folk who may pass by overnight. Plus, they make a wonderful Beltane breakfast for us humans, so it’s good to make them the day before. Enjoy! Honey Cake(s) 1 3/4 cups flour 1/2 t. baking soda 1/2 t. baking powder 1/4 t. salt, for grounding 1/4 t. cloves, for repelling negative energy 1/4 t. allspice, for healing and love 2 t. cinnamon, for purification 1/2 cup vegetable oil 1/2 cup honey 1/4 cup brown sugar 3/4 cup white sugar 2 eggs 1/2 t. vanilla 1/4 cup warm water 2 T. + 1/2 cup orange juice, for luck and prosperity Sliced almonds (optional) Powdered sugar, for sprinkling Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. You can bake this as either one big cake, in a 9-inch springform pan that's greased and lined with parchment paper, or as little cakes in a muffin tin lined with paper liners. In a bowl, combine the dry ingredients. Make a well in the middle and add in the vegetable oil, honey, sugars, eggs, vanilla, warm water, and orange juice. Stir to combine. Pour the batter into your prepared pan. For a springform pan, bake 40-45 minutes. For a muffin tin, bake 14-20 minutes. The top of the cake(s) should feel solid and spring back when touched. Let cool completely, then sprinkle with powdered sugar if desired. #KitchenWitch #WheelOfTheYear #Wicca #WiccanHolidays #CelticPaganism #Beltane #BeltaneBaking #MayDay #MayDayRecipes #HoneyCakes #FairyFolk #FairyFoods https://www.instagram.com/p/Cc_T6vHvO3K/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
