Sea-Staff
Stood by the pier I sing softly to the sea
I pray to La Siren and the Gatekeepers…
“As I walk along the shore, let me see what I need to see.”
I breathe in deeply of the salty air, the cries of gulls fill my ears and I begin to walk.
Do I look hard, I wonder, or try to just relax and let reality wash through me? Taking my cue from the ocean I choose the latter.
Maybe five steps I have taken before I see, standing in the sand and calling to me, a staff of driftwood. The perfect height for me.
Sometimes what you need will come to you.

Being pagan and loving the earth, its worth making sure you’re connected to it before any kind of magical act… as embodied beings we are made of earth, we walk upon her, we eat what grows on her, and we will one day be buried in her.
Being human, its worth making sure you’re connected to the earth!
Earlier this month I wrote a series of posts on the Iron Pentacle, a meditational tool for self-discovery and transformation used within the Reclaiming tradition. The Iron Pentacle, and its partner, the Pearl Pentacle, came from the Feri tradition, and have evolved within Reclaiming to become something slightly different.
I spoke of Iron, now it is time for Pearl…
The Iron pentacle is the foundation of self, the work of a lifetime.
The Pearl pentacle is what happens when you are strong and balanced in yourself; healthy relationships and communities arise. Pearl is, therefore, the work of many lifetimes.*
Energetically Pearl is what happens when the energies of Iron come into balance and vibrate up, expanding from a self-centric to a community-centric relationship with the world. Conceptually, Pearl is what happens when you take the ideas of Iron and imagine them expressed in community and in the world in a healthy way.
The point of Pearl grow out of the points of Iron…
We need a strong sense of Iron in order to act through Pearl… if you do not have a clear, clean access to lifeforce, you cannot express it in support of others and connect healthily. If you do not have an sense of your place in the world, you cannot understand the natural Law which places all things in relationship, in the flow of cause and effect. If you have no knowledge of yourself you cannot know the world… and so on.

And I’ve been playing along too…
I’m searching, searching, searching for which way to leap… The carnival of stars awaits…
