Pathways - By DreamWeaver

Well, it had been yet another bad day in the office, and once again it was the fault of that new girl, MaryAnne. She is one of those Wiccans, a so-called Witch. How can anyone in their right mind make this claim, knowing that it goes against God and all of the teachings of the Bible? She doesn't even have the common decency to keep her satanic symbol, her pentagram necklace hidden from the view of the decent, God-fearing people in the office. She has some nerve. I find that I cannot hate her for this though, for I know that she has been Deceived. Satan works his evil in ways that she cannot see. I've seen that so called Wiccan Rede that she has tacked to the wall above her computer. On the surface, it looks like a decent loving belief, but all one must do is look, look closely and see that by practicing this way, and not embracing Jesus Christ as savior, she is on the pathway to Hell. As I've said, it was a bad day in the office. Three times in the past few weeks I have been called in to see my supervisor, and he has told me that I am not allowed to preach to MaryAnne the word of God, to show her the error of her ways. Today, my supervisor told me that if I continue to "harass" MaryAnne, he would be forced to terminate me. How can he say this? He himself is a God fearing man. And, how can he be so tolerant of the evil that he sees insinuating itself into our workplace? As I lay down to sleep last night, I asked the Lord for guidance. "God, grant me a true vision of you, so that I may better lead the faithless onto the righteous path." "Oh, a true vision of Me is it? Are you sure that you're ready, truly ready to see, my son?" I sat bolt upright in bed, and there, at the foot of my bed, white of hair and beard, in a long, flowing white robe, stood the Lord my God. I made to leap from the bed and fall to my knees in front of Him, but He stopped me with a gesture. "Kneel not before me at this time my son. Instead, rise and walk with Me, so that you may get a glimpse of what I truly am, as you asked of me in your prayer." He took my hand, and as I looked, my bedroom was no longer there, but a pathway thru the woods. We started to walk, and I was too awestruck for words. We took the path to the left, and we were then inside St. Catherine's Church, in the middle of a service. While still standing beside me, God seemed to expand and fill the whole of the church. I could see smiles of contentment forming on some of the parishioners' faces. I felt blessed. God smiled upon me. "The Catholics hold such pretty masses, don't they? I like to stop here in this church, because not only do they speak the words, but also they live the life, thru teaching, helping the sick and poor, not only with handouts, but helping them learn to help themselves. Now let us walk on," And we were back on the pathway. We traveled a bit further along, and then were in the parlor of a funeral home. A young woman was kneeling before the casket, resting her head on it and crying. I could see by the similarity, that this dead man must be her father. God knelt beside her, and drew His arms about her. "Miss him, that is all right, but weep not for him, for now he is with Me". She wiped her eyes, and stood with a sad smile upon her face, and said "Good-bye Daddy. I'll miss you," and turned and left the room. And we were back on the pathway. We walked a little ways, and we were in front of a large lodge of some kind. I could hear music and laughter spilling out of the windows. I turned to look at God, and was shocked to see, not the flowing white robe, but Him wearing leather and animal furs, his hair and beard now the colour of wheat, and a sword strapped across His back. He strode forth, and I saw him approach a figure I had not seen before. As I looked close, I was shocked to see that it was the same face that I had just seen dead, but looking young and strong, and dressed in ancient looking garb, an axe strapped to his waist. God strode up to him and grabbed him in a great bear hug. "Welcome my son. We've been waiting for you. Now, go inside and raise a cup or two, and meet with your brother." And, with a hearty slap on the back, he sent the man inside. And then we were back on the pathway. We walked a bit further, and then we were in a mosque. At least I believed so, as I had never been in one before, but had seen pictures of them. The group of worshippers was not large, but I could see their rapt faces as they listened to the mullah speak. He was speaking to them of purity, both of the mind and the body, bringing them closer to Allah. And as he spoke, God, dressed now in the robes of the desert, walked among them and briefly laid his hands upon each set of shoulders. And, from their faces, I could see that these men knew that the words of the mullah were true, and that their spirits felt touched by God. And then we were back on the pathway. After we had walked a bit, we found ourselves in an African village. People with skin as black as night, the women with their breast shamefully bared, were dancing in a circle, to the rhythm of the drums being played by a group of men. Somehow though, the bared breasts did not offend me, and the music seemed to seep into my soul. God was then a mighty lion, and He let forth a mighty roar. The villagers did not seem to hear, but the drums increased their pounding, and the dancers danced with frenzy. And then we were back on the pathway. We walked a bit more, and were on the top of a cliff. There sat, painted and covered with feathers, an old Navajo man. As I watched, he seemed to change into the form of an eagle and take flight, and we were flying with him, soaring high into the air, seeing the vista spread out below us. And God, in the form of an eagle Himself, seemed to guide this other eagle thru the air, over mountains and thru valleys, until he came upon a group of men. As I watched, the old Navajo man was no longer an eagle, but a young boy instead, and he sat at the feet of these men, to listen to the words of his elders. And then we were back on the pathway. We traveled a bit, and then we were in a forest clearing. I knew this place. It was known as a place of devil worship and evil. In the center of the clearing roared a great bonfire, and kiwi torches outlined a circle of sorts. Inside this circle, in a circle themselves, stood 7 men and 6 women, dressed in robes of varying colours, their arms raised to the moon. Was that one woman MaryAnne? I really couldn't be sure. And God walked among them in the circle, touching each one. He seemed not to be an older man now, but as he made each of three turns around the circle, he was first a young girl, bouncing with energy, then a woman of middle years, with a tender smile for all Her children, and finally, an old woman, body bent, but holding Her head up with pride. And a woman stepped forward, and yes, it was MaryAnne, and lifted her head to the sky. "Great Goddess, Mother of us all, thank you for joining us tonight. Stay if You will, go if You must. Know in our hearts You will always be welcome. Blessed be!!" And we were back on the pathway. As we walked along, ahead in the distance I saw the most beautiful man. Yes, beautiful, though I would never normally think of a man this way. With blonde hair, and a golden robe, he seemed to radiate sunshine. God and this golden man nodded to each other as they passed, sharing a smile together. "My Lord" I asked, "was that an angel?" "Well, yes, he is known as that to some. He is also known to some as a god himself. That was Lucifer." And His words caused me to stumble. I couldn't believe that we had just passed the ultimate evil. God looked at me, and He knew my mind. And He chuckled a bit. "Think about it logically My son. The Lucifer that you know is a fallen angel, cast out of heaven for challenging Me. If I am the all-powerful being, above all others, how could he do this? How could I allow it?" "But, in the bible...." I stammered. "The Bible is a wonderful book, as are the Koran and the Torah and many others, but they are just books, written by the hand of man, not written by Me. And, it's a bit confusing as well if the truth be known, but that's not up to Me to fix. These books are wonderful, but only as guidance, for each man and woman must think for themselves." And, I believed He was right in this. "Now, come forth, we must journey a little more before you go back." and He took my hand once again. As we followed the pathway, we soared thru the stars, listening to the music of the heavens, we became a little flower and a mighty oak, we became a babbling brook, and a mighty ocean. We flitted from flower to flower as a little honeybee, and ran across the plains as a mighty stallion. And, all too soon the pathway returned us to my home. God held my hand a moment longer, and smiled into my face. "My son, you prayed tonight for a true vision of Me. For vision, you must only open your eyes and see what there is to see. Good night to you". And then He was gone, and I was back in my bed. A dream I thought, only a dream, that couldn't have been real. At that time, a bolt of lightning lit up my room thru the window, and thunder crashed thru the sky, and I thought I heard, from seemingly far away, "Remember, the Lord works in mysterious ways My son". This morning as I entered the office, I went to the machine for a cup of coffee, and standing there, I spied MaryAnne. As I approached her, I could see her barely cringe, and I could see in her face that she was expecting yet another onslaught from me and my book. She seemed to cast her eyes about for a way to escape, but there was none. I walked up to her and smiled. "I think I owe you an apology," I said. "I've been a bit narrow minded of late, and I really had no right to subject you to what I did. It's not up to me to say how you find your path to your spirit, and I was wrong to think that was so." MaryAnne just stood there, not knowing what to say. "So, I just wanted to say that I'm so sorry, and I hope you will forgive my trespass. God bless you MaryAnne, and...uh....Blessed Be?" You know, I always thought that it was just a saying; about people's jaws dropping to the floor, but MaryAnne did her best at that moment to prove me wrong.

Lady of the Wild Things

Let me drink of Your waters That flow from Your spring, And ride Your mare's back To take me and bring, All the tree's secrets That are whispering low, To the winds in Your hair That speak as they blow. Let me fly with blue wings To Your moon dripping blood, And swim Your dark seas To Your bliss bearing flood Of all the Earth's passions That are whispering low, To the winds in Your hair That speak as they blow. Let me play in Your darkness That fills Your deep caves, And dance in the fires That are lit at the raves - Of all the Earth's children That are whispering low To the winds in Your hair That speak as they blow.
Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket How far have I come along the pathway from conception to the present. I have been the fetus growing in my mother's womb. I have been the infant loved and cherished, the child at play. I have been the teenager infatuated with love and life and the young woman on a splendid journey. I am the wife and mother and have shared my home and love. My experiences have been rich, deep and full. My body is healthy, bold and beautiful. My voice is free and clear. And now, once again, I feel the changes that pass as a gentle wind through my body, that let me know I am transforming. I am thankful for the sensations, the feelings, the messages my body gives. It is as a metamorphosis from one beautiful form into another, like a caterpillar to butterfly. I shed what I no longer need as a snake sheds its skin. This is a new sense of balance I hail as I experience the transition from one stage to another. The richness of my life is enhanced by appreciating who I am and what I am becoming. I am a woman. I am a wise woman. I am a crone. And yet always, I am ME.

The Goddess is Alive

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket Moon shines down upon a sea of Light, Shifting sands lay singing in the Heart of the Night. I looked upon a scene that gripped me to the core, White-clad maidens below were dancing on the shore. Sweet sounds slipped from moon-lit throats, Wind whipped hair abound, Lit by the light within and without, The Women circled 'round. As I stood, water engulfed my feet, My body swayed to your Heavenly Heart beat. Wind and wave and fire light, Paled in my mind Earthly delight. Time slipped by me as you held your embrace, And windblown spray covered my face. Protected deep within your Womb, I could feel the tender pain of Life's bloom. Candles flared high as the Dance progressed, Deep inside with a healing touch you blessed. All around, wind, wave and fire shouted of your life, Your light speared deep within, soothing my strife. Divine Mother, Goddess of Light, To you I come seeking protection from the night. Come home to shelter within your arm, Surrounded by Love, hidden from harm. Holy Mother, Queen of Heaven and Earth, From you we all trace our Birth. Heavenly Goddess, light from above, Shine down upon us, we pray for your Love.

Mother, Maiden, Crone

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket I am but a small child, Tucked under my Mother’s chin. Little kisses of sweet breath dance across my face. Words of wisdom she speaks to me. Soft words that ebb and flow. The lilt of her voice like a little rhyme I once knew. But yet I am a small child. You are Mother. I stand in the meadow amongst a field of wildflowers each bending with the sweet breath of the wind. The Earth speaks to me ~ words of Wisdom I have heard before when I was Old. On the edge of the clearing the Horned one admires my gait. Mother Returns home as I join the dance with My admirer. We have danced before. But yet I am a Maiden. You are Mother. I am Maiden. I sit in my chair holding you close to My breast whispering words of wisdom You cannot yet understand. You suckle my breast and I wish upon you strength and happiness. She sits in the sun across the room gazing at us in our moment. She remembers when I was that small Child at her breast. I have once gazed Proudly upon my grown daughter. But yet I am a Mother. I am Mother. You are Crone. I sit watching you from across The room, proud of what you have Become. My words of wisdom have not Been lost. You have heard them before ~ In a lull-a-bye, on the wind... We look into Each other’s eyes and you are strong and you are happy. A small sweet breath dances across our faces and you pull the blanket tight across the babe that suckles your breast ~ She joins us. We are but Women. Maiden, Mother, Crone.
Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket When they ask to see your Goddess, tell them how you have seen, The heavens starry display, Caught in blades of grass, On moonlit winters nights. Or rainbows of light, From dragonflies wings, On a golden summer day. Swans like pale white ghosts, Dissolve from the nebulous haze, Of early spring mornings. When they ask to see your Goddess, tell them how you have heard, The fall of winter snow, Like glittering butterflies On fields white with frost. The notes of distant thunder, Like divine symphonies, Roll across the drum of the sky. The song of owls, Like haunting melodies, Resonate through the still of night. When they ask to see your Goddess, tell them how you have tasted, The bitter tang of salt, Caught in sea spray, On a stormed tossed winter's day. Or the taste of the coming storm, In air thick with ozone, During the sultry heat of summer. Of water from mountain streams, As pure and cold as ice, More efficacious than wine itself.
