True myth may serve for thousands of years as an inexhaustible source of intellectual speculation, religious joy, ethical inquiry, and artistic renewal. The real mystery is not destroyed by reason. The fake one is. You look at it and it vanishes. You look at the Blonde Hero--really look--and he turns into a gerbil. But you look at Apollo, and he looks back at you. The poet Rilke looked at a statue of Apollo about fifty years ago, and Apollo spoke to him. "You must change your life," he said. When the true myth rises into consciousness, that is always its message. You must change your life.
~Ursula K. LeGuin
I really have dedicated allot of my time and energy towards

goals or ambitions of this site are as follows:

II.Teach
III. Learn
IV. Explore
V.Enlighten
VI.Heal
VII.Share
VIII. Open Doors
IX. Listen
X.Guide
In addition to these things I am not sure what else to say..
I am just going with the flow...:)
Okay a few things we still are updating so please be patient with us :)
Also remember to come back daily to see what is new:)
April 16th 2000
Greetings friends,
I regret that I have been unable as of late to update
as much as I would like to. I am happy however to say that all is for the
most part well.
Every day challenges are keeping me busy and more alert.
I am pleased that I am learning and growing. I am blessed that the Hellenic
Pantheon plays a role in my life and helps those around me. The plant divas
have been helping to guide me and heal myself and others I care about.
Under my Rose bush on Saturday I found a gift of a new offspring.
I carefully dug her up and made a comfortable home in a new flower bed.
I am looking forward to a fertile season full of wonderful joys and new
mediums of expression.
Praise be everything that is life!
I call to it's eternal light!
I yearn for it's touch and warm embrace.
The force of it's light and wisdom helps me to grow farther upwards, charging forth and ready!
The Earth's powerful presence grounds me and holds me steady as not to act to sporadically.
It gives me roots that keep me secure and bound to reality.
Heavenly water flows within my veins and showers nourishing and flowing.
Causing me to flower and be succulent.
Air;
Blowing ;
Inhaling..
Exhaling.
Taking
Sending.
Please carry and spread the seeds.
Whisper softly kind words into my spirit for me to sing in honor of all that is grand and infinite!

Poetry to the Greek pantheon link has now been divided into four parts for faster loading and easier access! I
shall be adding anchors soon to all the pages to improve their quality. Thank you for your understanding.
Okay, something else I thought to bring to your attention:
In my poetry and other works you may have noticed my personal style could be considered
to be "classical" . I use allot of words such as "Thine, Thee, Thou.." ect and so forth. I
also use the term
"Masters". When I call the deities as such it is out of respect as they are my great teachers. It does
not hint at all in my usage of the word towards "slavery" or fear or anything negative one might associate
with it.
The titles "Lord" or "Lady" are used more as just titles than anything else.Pretty simple.
I respect that there are other ways these vocabulary words can be used or associated with. I just wanted others
to be clear and understand how I use them. Words are funny things may we all use them wisely:)

The lady bug vision was written based on several factors that are current and connected to the past it also gives
a glimpse into the future. A number of bad things have been happening on a regular basis
to us, and yet they are always not as bad as they could be and each instance makes us stronger for having survived
each ordeal. Life is hard, life is romantic, life is despair, life is triumph.. Life is paradox, life is real and
unreal.. ordinary and unordinary or even be I so bold to extraordinary? In any event a number of wonderful things
have been happening and I praise and thank the gods and my husband and all kind spirits for touching our lives.As
always praised be everything!
As some of you may recall I posted on the site about the fire that recently happened in my laundry room. One of
my sprit friends the Unicorn had given me a glimpse into the future to see the forthcoming danger. I remember thinking
"Gee I hope this thing does not catch fire.." sure enough it did but I was ready with water in time to
stop the fire COLD. More on this in the journal entry of 1/17/00 & 1/24/00. There is also part of the spell
work and the symbols I was working with for those interested in seeing how my magick is somewhat constructed.Hail
Athene and Hermes.
The Ladybug vision verse/omen/dream/shaman journey
Last weeks feature deities : Pan, Artemis, Apollo 1/24/00
I wanted to mention to those whom would care that we are no longer evicted
from our home.
It appears that our previous land lady weaved a web of sorts and got stuck in her own trap.
I have met the new owner and he claims he knew nothing of the eviction and it was not his doing. Our previous land
lady told me herself it was not her doing. Any ways the bottom line is we do not have to leave and justice has
been served. Now we can move when it is convenient for us Another weird thing about this is that the new owner
gave us a check for $27.50 for supposed security deposit or something. I just thought that was odd.
Also of note I recently received a letter from the International Library of Poetry that said they wanted to publish
a poem I submitted to them. I was overjoyed.. However Hermes and Athene and Apollo gave me a reason to question
if this is what I and the pantheon wanted.. I was led to these sites.. I did not send the form back so I will not
be published there. Someday I have a book of poetry dedicated to the Greek Pantheon published.. it may be some
time yet till it happens but I will try my best to persevere.

Subject: STOP!!!
Unfortunately yours truly starry eyes and full of
hopes and dreams has been crushed... to learn that I
have been deceived..
Fear not my friends this little engine can keep on
steaming down the track..
Meaning my poetry contest winnings is nothing more
than a scam.. so I shall not mail this in the morning
and buy my time until I can get paid for my dedication
as any artist rightfully should.
Sorry If I deceived you unknowingly..
Thank the god's I found out now.

To the Loveliest Wild Thing, Artemis
By: Jennifer H. Wright
Artemis how shall I begin to describe your loveliness?
Your beauty attracts all spirits of nature and everything holy in between.
You are the fish in yonder river, and far off sea..
You are of the moon.
You are in all seasons.
You live for the cold and heated thrusts!
You are graceful as are your sacred deer,
All animals cherish you.
All life is enlightened by you!
Thou art Great Huntress of the bow and arrow as well as spear!
The chase keeps life flowing and changing as well as exciting and lively!
We all chase after you fair Artemis,
and wish to be your followers true!
May we all be so blessed to one day just catch a glimpse of you!
How heavenly divine it would be if you were to stay.
Artemis you are legend, myth and mystery.
Artemis, How we we adore thee!

THE DARK MOTHER
By: Darlene F. Roberti
Nov. 15, 1999
I am Illumination. I am Darkest.
I am the Titaness born of Mother Night and Cosmic Ocean,
even Zeus yields to my powers
I reign over Heavens, Earth, and the Underworld.
Behold I am Hecate Triformus.
Maiden, Mother, Crone.
I am the Ruler of the Dark Moon.
I am the Keeper of the Cauldron.
I hold the keys to Life, Death, and Rebirth.
I am the Watcher of the Past, Present and Future.
I am the reborn Goddess Hectate, born of Hera and Zeus.
I am the Mysteries of Womanhood.
I am a Lover, I am Celibate.
I am the Midwife, the Mother and the Barren One
I am the Shamaness of Visions, Dreams and Nightmares.
I am the Healer. I am the bringer of Death.
I am the Protector of the weak.
I am Revenge to those of you who harm my children.
I am many things. I come to all who seek me.
You can find me at the Crossroads, where four directions meet.
To know me is to know the greatest joy and the worst sorrow.
I am Hecate.
