So, I'm a bit late posting this, but there is good reason. I cannot share that reason right now, but I assure you, it was important.

Blessed Hestia, Lady of the hearth, enter this home, you are welcome here.

So began an intense time of meditation, dancing, and singing that culminated in my sense of love for the Gods being once more heightened beyond my expectations. It begins with music. The subtle and beautiful voice of Deva Premal which washes over you like an ocean wave but leaves you unhurt yet feeling all together moved.

It is followed by a closing of the eyes, a subtle movement of the hands, and the smell of incense. It is at these moments, when you are starting to flow with the music, your heartbeat, and the wild undulations of your living mind. You try to focus it all, but then you realize that this is not the moment to do that. This is the time to let go, to allow your nature, your wildness, your very animal nature full reign over you.

Emotions rise and settle down with wild abandon. Names, faces, memories of pain and joy all come to the fore and then subside once more, and then, as if from nowhere, you feel them.

You can't be sure, these are Gods, after all, and they are everywhere, but they are also here, with you. They have not come, they were always here, but you, YOU have moved to them. You have opened yourself up to them and have awakened yourself to their power, and it is frightening.

Here now is the time to take control. Here now, when you can feel them, is the time to settle your heart, your mind, your soul so that you can appreciate them. So you can make yourself acceptable to them you must not be some wild beast, but present to them your human face.

You must seek him out, the one you wish to honor, worship, love, and with that, I felt him.

He radiates all he is. It is a powerful feeling, knowing his very divinity flows from hi like light does from the sun, but you also know that it is working both ways. Your humanity radiates from you, and the all seeing god of the sun sees you, all of you, and there is no hiding from him.

I thank him, and offer my blessing to him who is now growing in power in the North, and who will bring forth the light and heat that will usher in the Springtime.

Kala 'Iliouyenna.
