Is anyone else awaiting spring with the patience of a skittles-fuelled toddler?

---
Breathe.

Under Sol's dancer, adrift in the blue,
Touch the soil, with warmth renewed.
In Gaia's breath, bid winter's rout,
Wake, ye buds, 'tis time to sprout.

Let Aeolus' whispers the branches swing,
Hark! To the birds, as they begin to sing.
In Ver's embrace, bid frost take leave,
Breathe, O Earth, 'tis time to breathe.

#fedicoven Q16 How do you ground and centre yourself before and after performing rituals or magic work?

For me, that is visualisation and meditation. I often hold a stone from my garden or a twig as I do.
Then I can see myself as part of the system of nature and feel my place in the universe.

Occasionally, I mutter this little spell if I feel especially lost. (text in alt)

The Night's Light

In the gleam of Selene’s delicate white,
May my spirit find strength, filled with light.
Bath in chill lunar power so pure,
Tugging tides of thy soul stir and cure.

The diurnal burden, with nocturnal lift,
Under Hekate’s watch, let moods shift.
Weights of day, in night efface,
Awake anew with morn’s tender grace.

I wish I had been taught to write properly when I was young. For some reason, I can easily paint and design letters, but writing like this is always a struggle. I'm trying to shake my embarrassment a bit here...

I like this conversation poem with Hekate, though. After some rough parts in life, my voice has diminished a lot. I'm asking her to guide me in reclaiming it.

I learned this little spell to find lost objects probably around 20 years ago; so long ago that I have no idea where I learned it. If anyone knows, I'd love to be able to attribute it, because it works! It works so well for me that I still use it often.

Hold a piece of quartz and pretend you're holding the thing you want to find.

Say: “What has been lost,
Please let me find,
Return me to that state of mind,” three times.

Follow any thoughts or urges- sometimes it literally feels like a pull or a buzzing in the crystal in a certain direction.
