Beltaine Gardening..It's just a Spring Clean for the May Queen..

Ohhhh yesss.. Hands in the dirt. Finally getting in the front garden bed for a spring weeding session.
Reaching around a small shrub, I found myself face to face with the sweetest smelling lily-of-the-valleys..
I plucked one, and tucked  it behind my ear..
and crowned myself the May Queen.
The smell from that tiny frond of flowers was absolutely intoxicating.
Causing me to swoon a bit. 
I rolled up my short sleeves to expose my lily-white shoulders to the warm rays. Reveling in the way my hair absorbs the heat and light, from our yellow star, I closed my eyes...
I went back to being the reaper with my tools, deciding which plants stay and which ones go...Plucked a few for lunch, though..Violet flowers and leaves, Dandy-Lion Flowers and Greens and others too...taking this Blessed May Day right inside my body, Yummy.

Guest Blog- "The Goddess Within" by Sister Goddess Rita

Hello All! Here is a post by our Lovely Rita...        This past spring, I took an amazing class called  “ The Goddess Experience ”. At the start of the class our instructor held a Quartz Crystal in her hand & introduced herself as Goddess Jess. She shared with us that we were going to have the opportunity to boast, share what we were grateful for, as well as any desires we have. She then told us that we were to introduce ourselves as “Goddess ____.” This in and of itself made me giggle, never mind actually SAYING I was a Goddess. How could I say I was a Goddess? How could I BE a Goddess?? That first time introducing myself as a Goddess (which was extremely difficult) was just a brief encounter of The Goddess Within…

An Exercise in Surrender

     Sunday, a handful of brave ladies, ready to show a photographer (named Isis!) their inner goddess, arrived at the shoppe early afternoon.  I knew exactly what I wanted to present to the camera that day, a purely professional website-worthy image..and ended up completly submitting to the suitcases of fun 'costumes' presented to us.      The name of the company is called "For Them or For You Photography" and the line between who these photos were for became more and more blurry for me as the day went on.  The photo below is a hint at what ended up on film..Each woman took some time perusing all the frills and props, and created a lovely landscape of beauty , for their individual shoots. I was so impressed with the level of trust and willingness to enjoy the experience from everyone.... and what eye-candy they all were..I took some cute photos, like these, and can't wait to see the "real images" when the photographer gets them to us in the form of
