Maggie's blog: "Humble Scribblings!"

I am a daughter of the Goddess! I am my Mother's daughter: I am the Crone. No hag, to torment and frighten. I am the Beauty of Wisdom, of time spent learning the lessons of Maiden and Mother. I am the Keeper of the Cauldron of Life, gently guiding all in the fullness of time to their rest. Peace, and Rest, until called forth to continue the Journey of Ages. I am the Bringer of Death in it's Season. A dread Companion at the end, I escort one and all to the Cauldron, with whispers of Wisdom within their minds. A gentle request,"You have earned your Rest. Be at Peace." I am a daughter of the Goddess! I am my Mother's daughter. Maiden, Mother, Crone: all three in flux, flowing with the ebb and flow of life's journey. Never completely one or other, all three in dynamic balance. All lessons flow, one to the other, never forgotten. I am a daughter of the Goddess! I am my Mother's daughter. So I say! So it is! Blessed be.

Pain Experienced Must be accepted To encourage new growth On a barren surface Stimulating new feelings of connection Within a battered heart.

I am a daughter of the Goddess! I am my Mother's daughter: I am the Maiden. Offspring of the Mother am I. Intuitive, curious, filled with wonder at the Glory of Life. The Journey begins with lessons at my Mother's knee; in fields, forests and meadows, my tutors are all around me. Blood marks my passage into the Circle of Mysteries. I am strong, gentle, demure, sensual, exploring life in its fullness. I enter into the Mysteries, exploring the depths of my femaleness. Sensual, sexual; with exploration, fascination, jubilation. A feeling of great Power and Strength grows deep within me. All is knowledge! All is possibility!

I am a daughter of the Goddess! I am my Mother's daughter: I am the Mother. I carry our hope, the next generation, within my body. With Joy, I birth my young ones and nurture them at my breast. I am Strength of Will, defending and protecting those within my care. Protecting, yet permitting choice. All learn from the lessons, from the choices made. Choice equals knowledge equals growth along the Journey!

Whispers of love down the corridors of time. Gentle lover, loyal companion, beloved Warrior of old. Sadness, grief; great longing for a life, a love snuffed out before its prime. Misty dreams awakened of long ago, in a land beyond my reach. Goddess and God; love and loss; life, death, then life regained. Friends, lovers from a distant past, brought forward into Now. Bittersweet surprise of love recalled; the sudden pain of remembered loss. A fleeting glimpse of what was once, so far away. Joy with sorrow; a love pursued, held true across the centuries. I treasure the warm glow of knowing, I hold you always and forever within my Heart. (Written 10/10/06 at 1 a.m.)

Dark, bloody place A secret place Carved within my heart Where I hide Where I wait Quietly For one who knows One who remembers
