About The Morning Feast and Goddessschool.com - The teachings here are based on ordinary magick, the principle that the mundane and the Divine are not separate, but peacefully coexist in all things. Know Mother Earth as the ultimate healer, and learn to utilize her gifts of nature. Inside each woman is a being of wisdom, deeply connected to the phases of the moon and the tides of the sea. All we need to do is trust our innate wisdom.
Having trouble reading THE FEAST at Yahoo? Scroll all the way to the bottom of the page. It will say *** Expand Message *** , click on this. You will receive the full message, not truncated.
I apologize in advance for the funkiness of the Feast of late. Yahoo seems to be doing a number on it, ie: colors, fonts, etc. I am not quite sure to how to fix those problems, but I am working on it!

The Seasons, 2009
The year is divided into four seasons;
The first season is of a frigid complexion, and this is Winter;
The second is of the complexion of Air, and this is Spring;
Then follows the third, which is Summer,
and is of the complexion of Fire;
Lastly, there is the fourth,
wherein fruits are matured, which is Autumn.

Soon as the evening shades prevail,
The moon takes up the wondrous tale,
And nightly to the listening earth,
Repeats the story of her birth.

Light A Candle Today!
In many different traditions lighting a candle is a sacred action. It expresses more than words can express. It has to do with gratefulness. From time immemorial, people have lit candles in sacred places. You may want to begin or end your day by the sacred ritual of lighting a candle on this gratefulness. Or you may want to light a birthday candle for a friend. One single guideline is all you need: Slow down and do it with full attention.
