Every time I get in my car I am reminded of the triple faced goddess to whom I owe allegiance because hanging off my rear-view mirror is an amazing piece of art crafted just for me by Anne from her shop Artisanne.
As strange as this my sound, my daily afternoon cigarette is also a moment of divine contemplation for me on a daily basis. In the hectic pace of the day I take that 5-7min out, install cancer and yet enjoy the divine within and without.
I plan on adding one more Daily Ritual to the routines, and this one with my Munchkin. I would like to, after teeth are brushed but before story time, take a moment to teach her how to pray. I want to teach her that praying is a way to have a conversation with your Gods/Goddesses thanking them and saying good night, after all Thor is kinda like a grown up.

*PTB = Powers That Be, my slang and less that devout term for the divine.
This is a thoughtful post kat... your goddess charm is gorgeous. Like the PTB thing... i think of WOUT wise ones up there. Divine at times can seem too much, well, divine i suppose... unapproachable. Def start your little one early so its just a natural part of life for her... and a special time for you together xo
ReplyDeleteSuzi, Love the WOUT :)
ReplyDeleteI have one in the car hanging from my rearview mirror - it makes me smile and puts the other drivers into perspective.
ReplyDeleteYou know, I started smoking as a way to (legally) alter my consciousness. I smoke the all natural ones, average a pack every 2 months. So no, it doesn't sound strange at all. I'm still trying to get my daily ritual together. I have this prayer in my BoS for my little one when s/he decides it's time to be conceived:

Day is done, it's time for bed
Goddess bless my sleepy head
Earth and Water, Air and Fire
Bring gentle dreams as I retire
When the morning sun does rise
The God will bless my open eyes
Thank you Kat :) x
