Greet your guests with this blessing plaque, which invokes a state of feeling blessed just in the simple act of being. Maybe we don’t have to “do” anything to be blessed by the divine. Perhaps this saying can remind us of our innate connection and embodiment of the divine. The border is a knotwork design with hidden imagery. See if you can find two stags, a chalice, pentagrams and moon phases.

Cerridwen, a Celtic Goddess, was known for creating a magical brew that was stirred for a year and a day to produce the Three Drops of Inspiration. These were stolen by a young boy who grew up to be known as Taliesin, a great bard and wizard. The myth of the Goddess' pursuit of this thief involves a dramatic series of shape changing. Cerridwen was the muse who brought inspiration to poets, musicians, writers and those of the creative arts. Historically, Celtic bards were known as "Credo", children of Cerridwen.
The raven swoops silently in the night sky. If you stop breathing and hold perfectly still you might hear its feathers rustle in the wind as it passes just above the tree tops. Raven's dark ominous presence, guttural croaks and unearthly sounds are synonymous with power, fate and transformation within the occult. Few animals carry the magical history or summon the instinctive visceral response of this feather emissary. Bring the power home.
This pentacle design sprang from an event that occurred during a consecration ritual. Each invoked element took form slowly, swirling, swimming, and spinning around the altar paten. Each group of elementals greeted the next with tenderness, appreciation, mischief, and joy. Like loving brothers and sisters, they danced the dance of creation and became distinct in these forms. The sprite represents Air, the dragon Fire, the mermaid Water, and the satyr Earth. Needless to say the magic was quite successful. I was enthralled and honored to witness this beautiful event, which happens perhaps all the time. P.B.
