Just a quick post to thank everything who reads this blog, who drops by and comments, not to mention all my long suffering blog friends - A Very Happy and Successful New Year!
I have been very tardy in replying to comments.... it's too cold to even type much at the moment, and I can see my breath inside the house although the heating is on.
But a few minutes ago I stuck my head outside the front door and saw the most spectacular crescent moon, accompanied by what i think is probably Venus. Absolutely magical! Sod the cold, it was soooo worth seeing.
I used to bow only to the new moon - now I bow whenever I see Her, after all, She deserves to be reverenced. Ritual isn't set in stone, and the very best ritual originates deep in the heart. Do whatever feels right - I've even been known to do a little dance for the moon, out in the darkness amongst the sweeping brushes and water buckets!
It's such a pity when people feel they must have a script to follow instead of following their inner calling. So this year as part of my New Year's Revolution Resolution (what a different one letter makes!) I am going to explore ritual more thoroughly... I wonder where it'll lead me?
Brightest blessings to you all for 2009!

Yes that is Definitely Venus.
They are beautiful those two heavenly ladies.
Happy New Year.
