Autumn~Elemental poems

I sing with spells of Autumn's Breath

The elements guide me in Autumn's guise

Songs of Autumn~ Elemental poems

E A R T H
I am the magic egg inside the earth
my heart alive with black soil and golden seeds
I feel grounded in nature's spirit
anchored in strength... shining with beauty

A I R
I am the wings of a solitary being
I sparkle like a starling reaching for the cosmos
I feel one with the universe
my song, a pulse
and I follow where the winds will lead me

F I R E
I am the labyrinth of the sun
like wisdom
I ignite a thousand Kings and Queens
with flames of beauty and poems of light
I am the realm of infinity
the kiss beneath the Twilight

W A T E R
I am the drowning moon
alive in the Magic of sacred knowledge
and flowing with the current of inspiration
changing all things to silvers
divining the current toward the Eternal within

E T H E R
I am spirit
Immortal,  Awake
Empowered with Love
and Wielding the Powers
of Transformation and Magic

I Am Autumn
I have become burning orange vapors
escaping my shell
I am shifting within myself
and the sparking layers
fold and bend ...taking me
through veils of creation
through corridors of Mists
I Surrender
to the Beauty of Death
and toward the new Life
Standing before me..
I am Autumn
The Immortal seed

1 part sky, 1 new moon ~

1 part sky, 1 new moon


☀ ♌ 🌑

note to self

when feeling lost
take
1 part sky
1 new moon
fold them both into your heart
push deeply
until the stars burn themselves in
and like seeds of new life
they will conjure worlds (you need to go to)
places that belong only to you
hold onto them, every single flashing seed
even as hurricanes set in
let them burrow inside
till your tongue tastes of lightning

remember above all
you are the fire ( your blood sparks wildfires of courage)
you are the sky ( and it opens to all sacred realms)
you are the moon ( and your bones carry her love)
and soon you will become the earth
(solid, grounded, rooted, embedding life-force within; you are home)

the changeling winds will bless the dark things with flight
they will escape into freedom and healing
the gardens will die inward and rebloom a new book of spells
where each tree and flora speak their ancient song
and birds can sense that your soul has grown wings
and they will teach you how to harvest from your deepest root
and how to ride on spherical wisdom with instinct and bliss
sometimes there will be rain, madness and strange storms
but you will be able to feel the sweetness in the changes
and the bright galaxies flooding in
there will be blessings born of pain and hurt
and your body shining in all colors; will be summoned to dance
unclothed and free

nothing can stop
a summer full of lions clawing down the roaring sun
or a grateful heart that births a meadow of tigerlilies
your nights will drip with serene spells of love
and profound renewal will begin to spill over your being like a waterfall
you will not shake, nor be afraid to live
and your Solar Return will strengthen you to radiate with victory
magic restored,  witchery in bloom
you are unchained
and wild
as nature
you are both bruised and beautiful
and you have found your song to sing.

☀ ♌ 🌑

often she appears to me

💮

often she appears to me

💮

Often she appears to me

calling me out of the sorrow and darkness

She reminds me of the strength 

hidden inside

all the ashes I wore 

& the fire that once burned

ever so brightly 

within me.

Her presence 

shakes my soul awake

to seek and embrace 

the glowing stars and ghost flames

falling from 

the black night above

And without any wings at all

I rise...

Knowing

who I once was.

And without any wings at all

I rise...

Knowing

who

I once

was

Summer's Veil~ where I have been lately

Where I have been lately...

Dreaming with the foxgloves along Summer's veil
Reading  poems under the ghost-bride of moonlight
Chanting as all wild-hearted witches do in the forest
Wandering through the towers of goldenrod and sorcerer's violet
Offering my soul to the rain-soaked gardens
Swallowing the sunlight in the mossy labyrinth-womb
Standing still in the bones of the blue night
Listening to the creatures and leaving offerings
Tangling into branches searching for wisdom
Sleeping in the ivy and waking against the bark
Harvesting mother's greenery and weaving new seeds
Letting my spirit dance with the neverending cosmos
Finding my freedom in the season of light
~victoria pettella~

where I've been lately

Where I have been lately..

Living fully , wide awake
In the heart-space of nature's lullaby
In the ancient belly of deep magic
Wandering the cosmic ebb and flow
chasing fireflies and storms
Breathing out the acorns and oak
Feasting on the silence in floral caves
Being, connecting, communing
Trusting and shape-shifting
Like a bright flower weathering,  meeting the end
Untainted by death,
Knowing that the fallen petals and seeds will return again.

Untainted by death,

Knowing that the fallen petals and seeds will return again.

Chanting as all wild-hearted witches do in the forest

Wishing you the beauty of Summer's Veil

SOULMOONS

we drift with breath
with mist
with moon
the dust of souls
we cycle through
still woven
by season, love and bloom
immortal hearts
forever new

Spinning spiders
casting veils
across the ghostly daffodils
Summer Solstice wears his crown
while Queens of Autumn carry down
the chanting Moon of Dragon-fire
into the icy crystal spires

The Kiss of life and death we hold 
till Spring reveals her maiden-throne
Ravens peck through 
the dark-glass of night 
where soulmoons search 
for their lost light

Shining Owls sheer at the seams
where tears release the world unseen
bound with breath
with Crescent and Loon
Weaving love into their tombs
the dust of souls
we cycle through
Eternal Hearts
become Renewed

dreaming in the light

With the seasonal shift into Spring

there is new energy

new vibration/sound/frequency

we are gaining new light

gaining new consciousness

attuning to the essence of beginnings..

magic is awake 

and nature is shimmering to life

the seeds from long ago 

become realized 

and appear in many new forms

reminding us

of the neverending cycle of creation

the spirit of regeneration, hope and renewal

the breath of new life-force

awaiting each moment 

dreaming in the light

~victoria pettella~

Wishing you all an amazing Spring

to the sacred spells
of this newest season

cherish each treasure you find...
