The fire burned brightly even after the wood had turned to ash. Learning to read the fire and smoke. It tells of forgiveness and understanding. More than patience it speaks of quiet continuance. There is a yearning for companionship but much to be learned in this aloneness. The quiet courage come in the night. All is held in silence. So learn the prayers, learn the ritual, learn the stories, heal the self and all that follows is as it should be.

To all I hold in my circle I send love and gentleness to what ever pain you may be feeling, what ever worry that is on your mind, and sending calm to what ever storm maybe swirling around you. This is the ending prayer of the ceremony.

We are asked by Spirit to stop war.
Instead of creating was to destroy Humanity...
Create ways to save the Earth.
With this prayer...
Oh Heart of the Heavens.
Oh Heart of the Earth.
Oh Heart of the Water, Heart of the Fire.
Oh Four Winds that We breathe.
Heart of Our Life.
