  • Today’s Magickal Music

    Happy Friday!!!  :-)  I hope you are planning a wonderful weekend! 

    Our first magickal music musing was about Heart's "Magic Man."  Thanks to those of you who posted some replies and thoughts about who/what the sound reminded you of magickally!  Everyone's ideas were right on! There is, of course, no right or wrong answer – the right answer is the one that is right for you.

    For me personally that song always reminds me of Papa Legba because  to me he IS the magic man… for without him, no magic gets done!  I also like the little implication of the trickster, but in a good way – like he mesmerizes you and you love it!  ;-)  However, certainly the thoughts of other male lwa easily come to mind – Ogoun, the Baron (also with his slick, sexy ways), etc.  So good answers one and all!

    Today's song for discussion is "Magic Carpet Ride" by Steppenwolf!  I had a lot of fun putting my thoughts together on this one regarding what and whom this song brought to mind for me!  I will share them after I hear from all of you!  Can't wait to hear what lwa, product, or spell this brings to your mind! 🙂

    Lyrics:

    I like to dream yes, yes, right between my sound machine
    On a cloud of sound I drift in the night
    Any place it goes is right
    Goes far, flies near, to the stars away from here

    Well, you don't know what we can find
    Why don't you come with me little girl
    On a magic carpet ride
    You don't know what we can see
    Why don't you tell your dreams to me
    Fantasy will set you free
    Close your eyes girl, look inside girl
    Let the sound take you away

    Last night I held Aladdin's lamp
    And so I wished that I could stay
    Before the thing could answer me
    Someone came and took the lamp away
    I looked around, a lousy candle's all I found

    Well, you don't know what we can find
    Why don't you come with me little girl
    On a magic carpet ride
    Well, you don't know what we can see
    Why don't you tell your dreams to me
    Fantasy will set you free
    Close your eyes girl, look inside girl
    Let the sound take you away

    Don't know what we can find
    Why don't you come with me little girl
    On a magic carpet ride
    You don't know what we can see
    Why don't you tell your dreams to me
    Fantasy will set you free
    Close your eyes girl, look inside girl
    Let the sound take you away

    Love, light, and peace,

  • Prayer for September 11.

    Today is a somber day across the country. There are many memorials and acts of service going on today. I hope that we each can take some time to participate in any way we are capable.

    Blessings,

    Sister Bridget

    Hold on to what is good
    even if it is a handful of earth.
    Hold on to what you believe
    even if it is a tree which stands by itself
    Hold onto what you must do
    even if it is a long way from here.
    Hold on to life
    even when it is easier letting go.
    Hold on to my hand
    even when I have gone away from you.
    –Native American Prayer

    ~~~~~

    We shall overcome
    We are not afraid
    We are not alone
    We shall overcome
    We shall overcome some day
    –spiritual hymn/Martin Luther King Jr.

     

  • Cookies are medicine!

    SEPT2011LAMPS 030 

    I have suspected so for a while, but now I know it for a fact! Cookies are medicine! Well, not all cookies, but THESE cookies sure are, um, I mean were. This is a photo of some cookies made by and sent to me by my mother, Mambo Sam. These cookies were very very special, and they certainly helped me feel much better. Thank you, MaMere. You can see other photos of Mambo's yummy creations here.

    Love,

  • New Photo Album.

    Hi there!

    Here is a new photo album I posted of some photos from my local cemetery. It may sound a bit weird, I know. But the cemetary is quite old, and has been active for more than 250 years! Stones and markers vary greatly, and I really found some of them interesting. This is something I have been wanting to do for a while, so I hope you enjoy!

    Love,

    Sister Bridget

    This photo is from HIghgate Cemetary in England, not where I live…I could not resist the dog on the stone. though.

  • We Shall Overcome

    Hi there!

    This is one of my favorite songs. Full of strength, courage and determination. Very much like Ogoun!  To me it has always seemed like singing a prayer 🙂 It is one of the songs that is always on my ipod. I was reading a little about the history of this song, and I found it very interesting. An old folk song, "We'll Overcome Someday" was written as a hymn in 1901 by Rev. Charles Tindley, of the African Methodist Episcopal Church.  In the 1950's the song was sung on picket lines of striking tobacco union workers across the South. Shortly thereafter, the first recorded version was heard, under the name "We Will Overcome" and was still considered a Spiritual song. The song was also popular during the civil rights movement, having been incorportated into Dr Martin Luther King Jr's last speech. Robert F. Kennedy sang the song while touring South Africa speaking to anti-apartheid crowds in 1966. There are many more stories of this song being sung in times when strength and determination was needed. These are just a few. Now, this song is sung in many contries, and in many different languages. My favorite version is Springsteen's, which he sung at the benefit following the earthquakes in Haiti.

    We Shall Overcome

    We shall overcome
    We shall overcome
    We shall overcome some day

    Darling, here in my heart
    I do believe
    We shall overcome some day

    We'll walk hand in hand
    We'll walk hand in hand
    We'll walk hand in hand some day

    Darling, here in my heart
    I do believe
    We'll walk hand in hand some day

    Here we are not afraid
    We are not afraid
    We shall overcome some day

    Darling, here in my heart
    I do believe
    We shall overcome some day

    Darling, here in my heart
    I do believe
    We shall overcome some day

    Here we shall overcome some day.
