Be We have a meditation, journey we would like to take you on. Called Descention Get comfotable, close your eyes and relax. Take several deep breaths that feel as they feel the begin just below your belly. Inhale slowly, Exhale just as slowly. As you do this, image that a mist begins to swirl around you, liftng your body and taking you to some far off place. You are not afraid. You come to an entrance to a stairway going down. You will be walking through 7 different gates; at each you are to leave something behind. Ishtar will guide you. First gate, leave behind negativity, come down, Second gate, leave behind guilt, Third gate leave behind jealousy, Fourth gate, leave behind desagreements, Fifth gate, leave behind, hurtful thoughts, Sixth gate, leave behind arguments, and Seventh gate, leave behind Fear. As you passed the seventh gate Morgan La Fay greets you with a question. What do you seek as your destiny and fate? Eventually the mist will clear and when it does you will see that it is night. you stand at the crossroads of three paths that converge on a grassy moor. There is no moon in the sky and it is quite dark at the crossroads. Nevertheless you can see the features of the land around you. You see three giant stones standing next to each path just where they meet. You stand outside this mysterious place. Walk until you are at the center of the stones. Once you are there, an old woman dressed in black emerges from behind on of the stones. She approaches you. She is silent. This is Hecate. Ask her to show you something from your life that makes you uncomfortable, yet which is the thing that you must face at this time. She reaches into her sleeve and brings forth a silver hand mirror. She holds it so you can see a person, event or scene from your life that represents your discomfort. If you see nothing, Hecate will say a single word in your ear. This word represents what you fear. When you hear the word, or see the scene, the mist will cover your body again and rapidly transport you back to this time and place. When you are ready open your eyes and fully return to the now. Pele is here and if you wish will show new life and creation of what you fear. Feast- bread, wine and something sweet Lord, Mighty Horned One thank you for your presence tonight. As always you are welcomed in our home if you need to leave remember you do remain in our hearts and minds.
