Sit, listen to the wind, birds and trees. Allow the beauty and chaos that is nature to enter and propel you through this time we call life. Breath in the smells of an open fire place and a camp fire. Know the difference they have on you and your surroundings. Give with an open heart and mind. Know that there are richer and poorer. But never measure those two thoughts by the amount of money one has. For richness is how you live and give of yourself, not what you have.

Beltane Saffron Crescent Cakes for Ashtoreth (fertility goddess, identified with Astarte and Ishtar)
Saffron Crescent Cakes for Ashtoreth
(fertility goddess, identified with Astarte and Ishtar)
These are traditionally baked in honor of Ashtoreth, but they are
appropriate for any Goddess associated with the Moon. To honor those harvest deities not
associated with the Moon, simply cut into round or other shapes, and bake as directed.
Saffron expensive, so you may prefer to substitute yellow food coloring, an
additional 1/4 cup honey, or 1/3 cup chopped nuts instead. But for a night of love making indulge yourself.
1 egg
3/4 cup milk
1/4 honey
2 cups all purpose flour
3 T.. baking powder
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4-1/2 tsp. saffron
Mix egg, milk, oil, and honey in a large bowl. Add remaining ingredients and
stir until just mixed. Cut into wedges and roll up, starting at the rounded edge.
Place on greased cookie sheet with points down and shape into crescents.
Bake for 20 minutes at 400F.

The Goddess Ostara
The Goddess Ostara and the Easter Bunny
Feeling guilty about arriving late one spring, the Goddess Ostara saved the life of a poor bird whose wings had been frozen by the snow. She made him her pet or, as some versions have it, her lover. Filled with compassion for him since he could no longer fly (in some versions, it was because she wished to amuse a group of young children), Ostara turned him into a snow hare and gave him the gift of being able to run with incredible speed so he could protect himself from hunters.
In remembrance of his earlier form as a bird, she also gave him the ability to lay eggs (in all the colors of the rainbow, no less), but only on one day out of each year.
Eventually the hare managed to anger the goddess Ostara, and she cast him into the skies where he would remain as the constellation Lepus (The Hare) forever positioned under the feet of the constellation Orion (the Hunter). He was allowed to return to earth once each year, but only to give away his eggs to the children attending the Ostara festivals that were held each spring. The tradition of the Easter Bunny had begun.
And, finally, there is a sweet Christian legend about a young rabbit who, for three days, waited anxiously for his friend, Jesus, to return to the Garden of Gethsemane, not knowing what had become of him. Early on Easter morning, Jesus returned to His favorite garden and was welcomed the little rabbit. That evening when the disciples came into the garden to pray, still unaware of the resurrection, they found a clump of beautiful larkspurs, each blossom bearing the image of a rabbit in its center as a remembrance of the little creature's hope and faith.

Goddess Aite
Atë,
Até or Aite is the Greek goddess of mischief, delusion, ruin, and
folly. Até also refers to the action performed by the hero, usually
because of hubris, that often leads to his or her death or downfall. Her
parents were Zeus and Hera.
ATE was the spirit (daimona) of delusion, infatuation, blind folly, rash action and reckless impulse who led men down the path to ruin. Her power was countered by the Litai (Prayers) which followed in her wake.

ENCYCLOPEDIA
ATE (Atê), according to Hesiod (Theog. 230), a daughter of Eris, and according to Homer (Il. xix. 91) of Zeus, was an ancient Greek divinity, who led both gods and men to rash and inconsiderate actions and to suffering. She once even induced Zeus, at the birth of Heracles, to take an oath by which Hera was afterwards enabled to give to Eurystheus the power which had been destined for Heracles. When Zeus discovered his rashness, he hurled Ate from Olympus and banished her for ever from the abodes of the gods. (Hom. Il. xix. 126, &c.) In the tragic writers Ate appears in a different light: she avenges evil deeds and inflicts just punishments upon the offenders and their posterity (Aeschyl. Choeph. 381), so that her character here is almost the same as that of Nemesis and Erinnys. She appears most prominent in the dramas of Aeschylus, and least in those of Euripides, with whom the idea of Dike (justice) is more fully developed.

Freyja ~Norse Mythology
Freyja ~Norse Mythology
Freyja (also spelled Freyail by the Norse.
Freyja, which translates as “lady,” had a number of roles in the Norse belief system. As well as the goddess of love, she was Queen of Fólkvangr, a place similar to Valhalla, where half of those who died in battle would go after death. However, unlike most of the other deities on this list, Freyja had a vicious bad side, full of greed, jealousy, and evil deeds. Among other things, she’s credited with teaching witchcraft to humans, a practice seen as evil by the Norse.
She was often at odds with Loki, who sought to torment the goddess and steal items from her, including her famed necklace Brísingamen, which was later retrieved by Heimdall. In addition, Freyja would constantly scour the Earth for her husband, who would go missing from time to time, crying tears of red gold as she searched. She did have one tremendous advantage over the other deities on this list—her favored mode of transportation was a chariot pulled by cats.

Clíodhna ~ Irish Mythology
Clíodhna
Irish Mythology
Clíodhna was an Irish goddess sometimes depicted as a banshee or even Queen of the Banshees (or Fairies, depending on the translation). However, she was also the goddess of love, perhaps because she was considered the most beautiful woman in the world. Unlike many other love deities, Clíodhna remained chaste, keeping her love locked away until she met the mortal Ciabahn—who, in a lucky coincidence, just happened to be among the most handsome men ever to have walked the Earth. Clíodhna loved him so much that she left Tir Tairngire, the land of the gods, to be with him.
However, when the other Irish deities found out about this, they conspired to get her back. While Ciabahn was away, Clíodhna was lulled to sleep by the music played by a local minstrel and was subsequently taken by a wave (the tide in the area is still referred to as “Clíodhna’s wave”). Depending on the source, she was either returned to Tir Tairngire or drowned in the sea.

Ritual for Hathor - Protecting Children's Future
This ritual invokes Hathor's blessing on a child through its life.
As a mother goddess, and also a cow goddess, Hathor is strongly
Associated with milk, and by blessing the milk that the baby drinks,
You can nourish the child in both a physical and spiritual sense.
You need a rock crystal for this ritual. This stone of protection
Will guard over the child as it grows, and brings peaceful sleep, a
Valuable by-product of the ritual. You will also need some
Sandalwood incense, since sandalwood is sacred to Hathor. Light the
Incense (not to close to the baby), and tie the rock crystal
Securely with a piece of thread or string. Hang the crystal above
The baby's head while it is drinking its milk (if this is too
Difficult to do, ask someone else to hold the crystal). Allow the
Crystal to swing gently in clockwise circles. As it does so, call on
Hathor saying "Hathor, nourish this child with your blessing as
He/she grows into a man/woman"
The rattle is another traditional symbol of Hathor, and is shaken to
Drive away evil spirits. Bless your child's rattle by holding it and
Saying "Hathor, give this rattle power to drive away evil and harm."
(From "The Book of Goddesses" by Roni Jay)

Earth Magick
Gaea Spell
Color of the day: Gray
Incense of the day: Ylang-ylang
Gaea, the Greek name for Mother Earth, is known as the Deep-breasted One.
She is called the oldest of divinities. She is the beginning of all life,
all wisdom, all mystery, and our eternal Mother. While the light dwindles,
and the darkness stretches across the land, we often retreat indoors to the
warmth of home and hearth, and lose touch with our Mother Earth. Renewing
our connection to Gaea, even while we dwell indoors, keeps us green-minded
and ecological, balanced and well grounded. Stand with your feet apart.
Psychically reach down through your socks and the floorboards to pull the
balancing energy of the Earth up into your body, saying:
By the earth that is her body, I ground mine.
Now, send your negative thoughts and fears back down into the Earth, quite
literally grounding yourself. Through the winter use this spell to invoke
Gaea and stay grounded.

Fruitful Earth Spell
Instead of cleaning your plate this Thanksgiving, set aside a portion of
your feast.
Take the food to a natural area or garden, and bury it or set it out as an
offering to the wild animals.
As you do this think about how many creatures do not receive the bounty of
Mother Earth each day.
Speak this as you contemplate:
"Blessed Mother Earth.
I offer you back the fruit of your womb, the bounty which sustains and strengthens
us all. Be healed and whole so that you may continue to feed your children. So mote it
be."
Consider donating money or time to a charity that feeds the hungry year round,
not just on holidays.
This spell is one of Edain McCoy's
