Victims OF THE BURNING TIMES

Take a moment and give these souls the repect they deserve!
- A Scribe`s Family History, -
May the inquisitors harm you no more,
May you Always find peace amongst the Pines, may we always Hear your whispers on the breeze, may we always see you smile that increasable Mountain top smile that only the goddess has seen ,
May you always be Swirling high in flight amongst the clouds , Next to that deepest misty covered shadowed sky,
May you always be free Running like the stag wild and free.
May you always grant your gift to further generations .till we meet again,
upon life’s spiraling path of death and rebirth,
Dedicated to the honored witches in this scribes history.
Blessed be.
Lady red raven.

A payer sent in:
'Blessed mother, blessed beThose souls in fear who're sent to theeAnd if those souls are soon rebornI ask you, keep them safe and warmAnd give this hope and love from meTo those who need it, blessed be!'Please, light a candle for those souls and say this prayer (sorry for it's rushed simplicity - I wrote it now when I first saw the list).Blessed be,~*willow*~
