In times of old, The Furies protected Mother Right. If a mother (or any woman) was harmed, The Furies swooped down and took their vengeance. They were one of the last vestiges of a world that existed before the patriarchy. When we feel righteous anger, it is The Furies who are calling out to us to make what is wrong right again.

Summer Solstice Blessings 

I greet you with the beauty of the morning sun,
I greet you with the coolness of the morning breeze,
I greet you with the song of the robin,
I greet you with the tickle of the damp grass,
I greet you with the beauty of the morning sky.

The peace of the Old Oak be upon you,
The peace of the Old Maple be upon you,
The peace of the mountains be upon you,
The peace of the ocean be upon you.

May the east wind bring you enlightenment,
May the south wind bring you passion,
May the west wind bring you Old Mermaid songs,
May the north wind bring you peace.

May you walk in Beauty before,
May you walk in Beauty behind,
May you walk in Beauty beside,
May you walk in Beauty above and below,
May you walk in Beauty all the days of you life.

The love and affection of the moon be yours,
The love and affection of the sun be yours,
The love and affection of the stars be yours,
The love and affection of each living creature be yours.

You are the pure love of the moon,
You are the pure love of the stars,
You are the pure love of the sun,
You are the pure love of the dew,
You are the pure love of each living creature.

Yes you are.

Blessed be.

Kim, your blog continues to nourish me every day, and I thank you from the bottom of my heart. Your blessing poem describes my Solstice morning on the east side of the island, and it will go with me when I head to the west side tonight for sunset. The mermaids will love it.

Thanks so much. I'm so glad to hear it meant something to you. I love doing these blessing poems, and I've gotten quite a lot of mail about them, which surprises me. But I'm glad to hear from everyone; I needed some lovin' myself today. Many thanks.

Say hello to the mermaids for me!
