Power of the Hazel and Moon
Mauckht of the Hazel and Tides
The time of the hazel...sacred to the goddess brid...lady of the perpetual flame,and to the god Finn maccool,lord of the hunt and the fianna.
The powers of the harvest reside during this sacred and hallowed time and the might of the hazel fills the earth with her golden light.From the goddess dana flows onward the forged spirit aspect of the hallowing light,the protective energy of the sidhe and dragon,and the spiraling gates change during the time of the hazel and her moon.
Each aspect of the moon and her tide at this season dictates communication,wisdom,healing,and the inner power of journeys and the key to reaching the underworld labrynht of the dark goddess and crone.
the hazel and her moon can heal or hex...the might is up to the weavers of the hazel and how this ritual and ceremonial application is so applied.
just remember this..that which is given returnd three-fold...and the hazel insures the karmatic interest.
Deities are:
the Goddess Dana,brid,triana,triduana,anu
the gods finnmaccool,devla,fintan,fingal.
The crone goddess of the hazel is the Callieach bera
The path of the green road opens itself to each that tread upon the circles gate...those that connect to the waning light and dragon line serges that are known to decline during this hazel moon and continues to scale onward as the spiral downward recedes in the strength of the roots of the hazel...even the straight tracks courses a fluid power that runs about dancing and spiraling,circling continuing,basking in the light and love of the mother that is becoming crone.
The dance of the hazel moon is the serpent dance and spiraling step,spinning,turning,skipping,and dragging the left leg a bit,becomes the wounded god step and trod.also the dance with the hazelings and poles leaping up as high as one can to show the crops how high to grownext year,,is most definitely done...
Candles burn and candles light,
illumine for us the hazel moon night,
that which declines ,that which heals,
that which turns the root and wheel,

Round the circle,round the ring,
raising the otherworld might unseen,
turn the wheel,turn the mill,
send it out to field and hill,

candle of magick burn ye well,
flame of faerie,charm and spell,
this hazel glow night and holy moon,
grant this magick,bless my boon,

Land and sea,wind and fire,
hazel moon incant with a might chant,
upon the will and ring...
Before the altar ancient and old,no matter whence it be made of salt or stone,
upon the night of hazel full light,
that calls the moon to its lady soon,
light a candle to charm its way,
and ask for her to come and stay,
and show which path is magick and true,
for she illumines the heart and spirit too,
before her mantle of gold and brown,
here where her lord is found,
together they unite in joy,
for harvest reaping of corn and hay,
that which becomes as one,of hazel charmed moon the magick is won,

turn the circle,dance the ring,
spiral in the ecstasy the Goddess adorned,
step and trod of the horned god,
and his might upon all of the sidhe not forlorned.
The power of the hazel is exaulted at this time,the full of moon is the healing side,and the new of moon is the vexing side...
the power of the hazel is known to invoke a balance between light and dark..between the here and there...
when this might is invoked it touches the soul and spirit of the one who calls and serves...
