The Goddess is Alive and Magic is Afoot!

For those of us on the Pagan Path or fans of Marion Zimmer Bradley, the book, Mists of Avalon has a place in our mental library. At the end of Morgain's journey, even amidst the Christian invasion of her country via Catholicism, she sees a very subtle, public celebration of the Goddess.

The lesson is that no matter what the faith, the Goddess finds a way into the world through every portal.

How appropriate is this? The timing is absolutely divine! The weekend of the full moon, with the moon closest to Earth in it's journey around the planet. Yule is around the corner and the Goddess is being paraded through Manhattan.

7-Days in Zion!

Over the Thanksgiving weekend, we spent 7 days in Zion National Park.  I had the best time, and finished nearly all of the posted trails - Zion in under 3 hours & Zion in Over 3 hours.

 

The photos are posted here because family who want them can easily download from Spaces than anywhere else on the net.

 

Next year will be all about Petroglyphs, as we only found one site.  The other sites are 6-8 hour hikes and are a full day committment.
