1st August
Feel Me now as Bountiful Mother
I am fertility and creativity.
I am the abundance of the harvest.
I am the abundance of life.
I create and nurture all being.
My golden cloak is the ripening grain.
Pause a moment whenever you eat
Feel My presence
I am your nurturing Mother.

Distaff
of Life
By Mama Donna Henes
The halfway point of summer is like a
well-seasoned woman. The galloping growth and
sweet blush of spring have slowed and faded in
her sweltering heat. She's slower now, and
surer. Strong and steady. She's salty and sultry
and a little bit dusty. A little wrinkled. A
little weary. A whole lot wiser. She bears the
fruits of her own labors, and she wears them
well. By midsummer, Dame Nature has grown tired
of Her wardrobe with its dizzy palette of
vibrant greens, vivid pinks, randy reds and
profusions of pretty pastels. She now prefers
the warmer, deeper, richer tones more flattering
to Her present station. The Lady is now of a
certain age, after all. (read more ...)

Deepening
Your Craft
By Mut Danu
Often the word "deepening" seems to go
best with fire gazing and introspective winter
months. But late summer, especially the month of
August, also invites us to deepen our spiritual
practices. The first rush of swimming lessons
and barbeques has passed and there is still one
long month of summer before the back-to-school
and work flurry of activity begins. This is the
perfect moment to get down and deep with your
Craft… (read more)

Found
Goddesses
By Barbara Ardinger, Ph.D.
Opera
Goddess of Magazines and Newsletters
There may be only one Opus (and long may he live
on that far, far side of normalcy), but Opera is
multiplicitous, multibiquitous, and
multilingual. Provoker of writers and artists of
rankest talent, She stands astride the mound of
niche publishing, boundless reams of paper
streaming at Her feet, mighty pen thrust aloft
in one inky hand, bound volumes clutched to her
capacious breast, and proudly wearing the triple
crown of subscription label, microfiche, and
URL. (read more)

Heather
(Calluna spp; Erica spp. vulgaris)
By Dawn Thomas
Heather is Ur, the third vowel U in the Celtic
alphabet. Robert Graves believed it to be sacred
to Venus and to Isis. He also believed that
heather is "the midsummer tree, red and
passionate", and associated it with
mountains and bees. Perhaps one of Grave's more
interesting comments is that heather was "a
suitable tree for the initiation of Scottish
witches". (read more)
