1.: Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep

Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep
(Paganized)
Now I lay me down to rest.
I pray that all the world be blessed.
God and Goddess shine like a star,
Watch over me from afar.
Mother Earth is always there
And keeps me safe and loved with care.
The Lord of Dreams will dance and sing
And happy dreams He will bring.
And when I wake to greet the day
Their love and guidance will light my way.

3.: Today's Goddess: Mujaji Masquerade (Africa)

Today's Goddess: Mujaji
Masquerade (Africa)

Themes: Balance; Restoration; Weather; Cleansing; Fertility
Symbol: Rainwater

About Mujaji: Mujaji is an African rain goddess who exudes gently with fertility, or fiercely with cleansing, depending on the need. Her power and presence is so impressive that it led H. Rider Haggard to write the novel, "She", based on her cult.

To Do Today: To purify any area and ready it for ritual, sprinkle rainwater as you move clockwise, saying:

Mujaji, flow through me;
Mujaji, cleanse me;
Mujaji, rain lightly here on all I love and hold dear.

To expel unproductive emotions (represented by the sky's tears), do the same thing, but move counterclockwise--this is the traditional direction of banishing.

If it does rain gently today, it is a sign of blessing. Go out and skip, dance, or sing in the rain (think Gene Kelly with a magical twist). This will renew your spirit and lift any dark clouds overshadowing your heart.

Africans observe this holiday as a time to reinstate symmetry in the world and in themselves. They wear elaborate costumes to appease the divine, praying for the necessary rainfall to ensure rich soil, and consequently an abundant harvest. To adapt this, pray to Mujaji to enrich the soil of your soul so that come the fall, you can harvest her productive nature.

4.: Dammit Dolls

Dammit Dolls

Dammit dolls are great and the best part is that you can shrink the
size and make poppets. They also help get rid of scraps of materials.

How to make a
Dammit Doll

What you need:

Scraps of Material
Stuffing--polyester or cotton
Old buttons for eyes and belly button
Yarn for hair
Paper to make a pattern

Make a pattern by folding the paper in half and cutting out a shape of
somewhat like a ginger bread man. I copied the shape from a small
cookie cutter that I had. It was easier to draw the shape first and then
cut it out. I found a nice fat shape looks better than a thin one.

After you have your pattern, use it to cut out two identical shapes. If
you like, use pinking shears to make a ragged edge. On one side, sew on
buttons for eyes and belly button. Using some yarn, attach the hair at
the top. I added a mouth to mine by using a cross-stitch pattern that my sewing
machine does.

Now, put wrong sides together and stitch around the edge, leaving an
opening to add the stuffing. Add stuffing,(don't over stuff it) and
finish sewing up the opening.

Write the following poem on a piece of paper and attach it around his neck:

Whenever things don't go so well...
And you want to hit the wall and yell...
Here's a little dammit doll
That you can't do without.
Just grasp it firmly by the legs
And find a place to slam it
And as you whack the stuffing out
Yell, "DAMMIT! DAMMIT! DAMMIT!"

Maiden goddess, holy one,
protector of hills and forest,
protector of mothers in labor,
protector of the buds of infancy,
triple goddess, I invoke you.
bless the trees around my home,
the ones that shade me,
the ones that screen the wind,
the ones that perfume the air.
May they protect me as you do.
How will I thank you?

When I eat flesh, I will thank you.
When I eat fruit, I will thank you.
When I drink clear water, I will thank you.
Your trees will never lack for offerings
as long as I live and breathe,
maiden goddess
triple one
my protector
as long as I live and breathe.
~Horace

The earth does not owe us her protection. Ancient people knew this. They knew that, however motherly she may be, the goddess does not provide for children who are ungrateful or disdainful of her gifts.

Thus most ancient cultures had rituals of thanksgiving, in which the goddess is thanked for the protection she generously affords us. What such ritual will we each perform today?
