Crimson Shadow Dragon's blog: "Cries of the Spirit"

"The Cauldron" As I stand above my cauldron, Dropping in precious herbs, Chanting the healing incantations calling for love and guidance. Watching it now bubble As I add in the rose petals I ask for Her grace and beauty To add to my Magick being done this day. The smoke of my incense Is twirling around me. The flames of my candles Dance in celebration. Now it is time, to seal the spell. A smile, a joy for a finished deed, A circle still sealed protecting me, Glance to the heavens... "so mote it be!"

"Triggering Confusion" a mind that cannot rest Wings that are broken. A fire that is burning within From the inner depths out. A pain, a clawing within her head Something that has been hidden... twisting and turning, thousands of voices not sure which one belongs to her. Screams that are silenced. Silence that is deafening. A smell so familar enough to trigger One of evil, one of hell, one of pain. two faces, his and hers, locked in battle Battling for life and for serenity...

"To my ancestors" Hear my voice, hear my plea For it is like a mighty wind I call you forth, I call you now To me now, please appear. Ancestors from the ancient times I know you watch over me now. Please touch my heart, please touch my mind Give the wisdom that I seek. To be wise as the moon To flow as the stream To gain these soon Is my all time dream. To laugh with knowing of my power To sing with joy of my high honor. Please reach out and help me now. Make me more like you. Just make me more like you.

"Something in You" something in you, touches something in me the candle's flame dances in your eyes the magick you hold, radiates into me a feeling of safety I hold inside a gentle touch you now provide whispered words of your comfort fill my ears I do not fear you, nor this place I want to see you, I want to know you Magickal happenings, I understand For I too, am from this magickal land Let me inside, I want to know you I want to see the side that you hide All through the night, you held me tight Not letting go as sad thoughts hit whispering unto me words of concern stroking my hair "are you alright" tears threatened to fall, I curled up you held me close, taking it on thank you for caring about this girl thank you for sharing your magick

When I look in the mirror, What do I see? Nothing but a shell of what was me. Things that I would never do before, Falling for people I shouldnt fall for. Who is this stranger I now see? Acts that should never have taken place Unable to hide the shame I now face... Will I be be able to win this race? Confusion I feel, I hope this isnt real, I close my eyes, but this will not leave me. How could I change so much in a day? Lady Crimson

I Am Silently, she stares into the dancing flame. Calling upon her guardian, the dragonfly, Requesting to be shown things of the past Requesting to be shown things of the future Preminitions are one of her many gifts... Holding onto the deck of cards, Touching each one, bonding with each one. "Tell me what you think need to be revealed." Her eyes closed,her mind open, she is ready. Guardian familiars by her side. Dragon of Earth, Dragon of Fire, Dragonfly of transition, wolf of loyalty. These are her friends...her advisors, her family. A cleansing shower candles providing the only light Music of chanting and tribal drums fills the room. It is now she knows she cannot hide from her destiny. This is her...there are great things she must still do. The Charge of The Goddess, she has not yet done To bring Her inside...to become Her... To speak her words of love, kindness and wisdom... This is her life..."I am"

Goddess Bless this little girl... Just the thought is simply wild In her womb a little child. Born of water, cleansed by fire This child is special...she is the One. The power of the Mother Goddess is within her Rituals and incantations written upon her heart. The gift of healing lies within her hands Forms of divination flow through her mind This little girl will grow to do great things She is destined to hold power in her hands And she will lead others in the Old Path Her parents will proudly watch and help her.

My Dragonfly in the night, I see Her overhead but She is not in the form I expected A simple glowing light, a simple form. This is Her... my guardian Dragonfly Perched above my bed to watch over me Guiding me in my sleep and dreams. Lending me Her power and Her strength. This is Her...my mother Dragonfly. A gentle song in the middle of the night a humming so innocent,so sweet a dancing light so tiny...twinking in the dark. this is Her...my daughter Dragonfly.
