In Memory

The Witches Farewell
© By Victor Anderson from Thorns of the Blood Rose

The Mighty One approaches, yet I have no fear
Save only that which nature dignifies.
To cling to life is good, and honourable the tear
By which I bless the ruin that about me lies.
As awesome presence fills the room and lo,
The Mighty One is here!

There is a blood-red glory pulsing darkly bright
Where on His forehead gleams the jewel of power.
His, great, black wings cast shadows where there is no light.
Yet in His hand He holds a lovely snow-white flower
Plucked where immortal golden apples grow,
In Mari’s silver bower.

Farewell, dear friends and loved ones, I must take my leave
To wander through the Sumerland a while,
Think not of me as dead when you have ceased to grieve;
I shall grow young again beneath Her radiant smile
That floods all Heaven with a moon-day glow,
Where age cannot defile.

Lord Merlin (David John White)

Born ?? England - Died Sept. 23, 2011 Atlanta, GA

Lord Merlin, aka David John White, was the elder high priest of the Ravenwood tradition for almost three decades and he died over a week ago, on Mabon. He led an extraordinary life, much like his wife Lady Sintana, and he died a year and a week after she passed from us. He was there by the Lady to bless the founding of my coven, and when I’m initiated this Saturday he will be a part of my lineage, my spiritual grandfather. Though I never met him, his passing fills me with sadness, and more than a little anger. Read More...

Lady Sintana

lady sintana

 

Founder and Witch Queen of
Ravenwood Church & Seminary of Wicca, Inc.

Used w/Permission from Lady Larina


Without Lady Sintana’s tenacity, vision, and dedication to the Craft, most of us would not enjoy the freedoms of our religion today. Her contributions to Wiccan civil rights cannot be measured. Having been trained by many in the Traditional Craft community including Lord Sariel from the Isle of Man and Lady Circe of the Brotherhood and Sisterhood of Wicca in Toledo, OH, Lady Sintana founded Ravenwood Church & Seminary of Wicca, Inc. in the Little Five Points area of Atlanta in the 1970s. Through numerous court battles to win incorporation and recognition for Ravenwood as a 501c3 not for profit church, Lady Sintana paved the way for public acceptance of the Craft as a legitimate religion. Throughout her life, she served as a renowned and respected Craft Elder who was known for her outspoken commitment to promoting public education and understanding of the Old Ways. There were countless many who loved her, some who feared her, but never one who forgot her. We are all in her debt. With her passing, we lose yet another of the Elders who have shaped and formed our heritage and identity today. May we honor her memory and legacy by living truly, honestly and sincerely in keeping with the Old Laws and sacred teachings of our various Traditions. Journey well in Love and Trust, Great Lady. May we meet, and know, and love one another again in days and lives to come.

As we Remember Michael Jackson

 

Michael Joseph Jackson, born on 29 August 1958, ruling number 6 the number of Venus of love, compassion and a nurturing soul, finding his true self in doing good deeds, and then he returned home on the 25th day of June 2009, again ruling nubmer 6 Venus a time of death and life, we must remember a man who lived life to help others as a World Ambassador, a brother, father and husband while he was married. Michael is loved by hundreds of thousands from around the globe and he never faltered in showing how he loved compassionatly back to everyone.

We need to also remember Michael accepted everyone no matter their race, creed, colour or religion and through this he brought Unity, he knows that one is not defined by what they look like or how they believe, but by their Heart which is the truth of ones' Soul, how he lived life and treated humanity is how we need to embrace and work together in order to bring healing to this World. His song We are the World says it all. How does one of his stature enjoy privacy in his life, in where he felt more alive when he was surrounded by those in whom he could help, this is what him the happiest. Misunderstood, yes, mistreated by the media, yes, Loved by all, Yes.

Micheal Joseph, two names in which are sacred, one in which speaks of Michael the ArchAngel, the protector, the one who brought balance and order, yet who loves those with a passion. Jospeh the man who in historical times stood by Mary and accepted though not by his own seed to raise a son in which was bestowed upon to Mary by the Angel Gabriel for humanity to find unity and healing in the world. Sounds, like Michael Joseph Jackson, lived up to his path in this life.

Now, Michael, you are home, home with those who have by thought, word and deed given and done the job in which was bestowed upon you by the Gods and Angels and you did it well. May you sing, dance and enjoy your new life, your new journey and when you are again ready and better prepared return to this Earth to guide another generation.

May the Blessings of myself, Temple of Diana & Our Lord and Lady of the Trinacrian Rose Church be with you and your family always. We are of the same mind in that we respect all religions, all cultures, creeds, and colours and we seek to see a Better Place for all of Humanity.

Today, watching his Memorial on CNN, you saw all those who lives were touched by Michael, today you saw a member of the House bring an Honour bestowed upon to Michael for the Humanitarian Ambassador, you saw his daugher Paris speak and listening to her broke my heart, so young to have lost her Father, and for her the Best Father one could have had i this life. So instead of assuming and making Asses out of you and Me, start looking at what he accomplished in his life. Many

Blessings and May the Gods and Angels guide you on your new path.

Shawn Poirier, 1966 - 2007

It is with great sadness that we share the news that Salem Witch Shawn Poirier passed away peacefully in his sleep in the early morning hours of Sunday, March 18th, 2007. We ask for energy, prayers, and well-wishes that he has a safe journey into the next world.

Shawn was buried with his Witches' tools that he may continue to play his role in service to others for years to come. He was also buried with his beloved cat, Ka, who suffered from severe diabetes. Shawn's other cat, Mistopheles, is with Shawn's dearest friend, Leanne Marrama. Ka is an Egyptian word for the life force that kept the soul alive. Shawn's dear cat was so much a part of his life that it is a testament to their bond that they left this world together.

Festival of the Dead takes on a new meaning with Shawn's passing. We truly have confronted our own mortality and looked death in the face. The work that began in 2003 will live on in all of those who participate in this adventure into the spiritual unknown.

When people we love die, they become guides to us in the spirit world, able to hear our prayers and to ease our burdens. It is from this ancient spiritual concept that the idea of prayers to saints is derived. To each of those who mourn someone, we offer the suggestion of an altar in their home to the spirits of those you loved. Your own grandmother can be as much a force for you in spirit as St. Jude or St. Anthony. And when you remember those you loved on the other side, they will never truly die.

Blessings from Salem,

Christian Day
