\"\"<\/p>\n

In the cold, grey winter days of January within me grows a deep longing for more light. Radiant golden sunlight kissing the land.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I enjoy watching the small slow changes ~ from winter to spring ~ the time when I first notice the slow lingering sunlight of the early year, the new grass and seasonal flowers and the first sweet laughter of spring in the air.<\/p>\n

Imbolc<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Pale winter sun lingers, lengthening each day
\nOn twig and branch new buds begin to swell
\nSongbirds give voice, each striving to excel
\nSeed senses change in its deep bed of cold clay
\nEarth goddess weaves her magic to propel
\nReborn cycle of her womb along its way.<\/span><\/p>\n

Life returns in every tree’s slow thought
\nIn pond and stream the dance begins again
\nSpring flowers show their purpose to proclaim
\nA new season comes; winters reign is short
\nAnd darkness no longer exercises any claim
\nGreen growth dispels grey moods it brought.

\u201cEveryday Goddessing\u00a0 is about sharing magical techniques and sacred wisdom with other beautiful Goddess women. I believe that within every woman there is a goddess, a wise woman, beautiful, creative, powerful, with a deep soul, and that everything we need and are looking for is already inside\u00a0 each of us.\u201d \u2013 Rose Arizmendi<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
