ShyHawk's Thread :D

[Shy Hawk]

Praises to the Gods for giving me the strength to find a path that suites me! For making me fearless in my speach, writing, and life.

Now to Athena....GIVE ME STRENGTH. Tommorow is going to be a trial of my faith, honor, and will. Help me succeed! I will leave you a sweet offering....well I will either way, but still..:D Help me out.
Blessed be

[Shy Hawk]

Thanks to the Gods for the huge boost of strength you gave me today. Not only emotionally, but physically aswell.
The wisdom you gave me aswell was most helpful...you said to forget about past hurts, and so i shall, you said to stop being angry, and I will.
You sent me the Hawk again, and told me to be strong, and on this I vow, I shall not let myself grow weak again! On this I pray! Blessed Be!

[Shy Hawk]

To the Gods,
Once again, I asked for a sign, and I think I saw it.
Let all go right if that is your will. I really want this to work out...
To the ancient ones I pray on this.
Blessed be, now and forever.

[Shy Hawk]

To the Gods,
I have been a little sad the last few days and I don't have a good reason to be....I really need to get out of this funk. Help me to see the beauty in my life, and the beauty in that which surrounds me.
Help me to be strong and fearless....true and kind. Help me to help others, and to see in times of darkness. Lead me to clean rivers and warm days.
And to Athena,

Daughter of Aegis-bearing Jove, divine,
Propitious to thy vot'ries prayer incline;
From thy great father's fount supremely bright,
Like fire resounding, leaping into light.
Sheld-bearing Goddess, hear, to whom belong
A manly mind and power to tame the strong!
Oh, sprung from matchless might, with joyful mind
Accept this hymn; benevolent and kind!
The holy gates of wisdom by thy hand
Are wide unfolded; and the daring band
Of earth-born giants, that in impious fight
Strove with thy sire, were vanquish'd by thy might.
Once by thy care, as sacred poets sing,
The heart of Bacchus, swiftly-slaughter'd king,
Was sav'd in aether, when, with fury fir'd,
The Titans fell against his life conspir'd;
And with relentless rage and thirst for gore,
Their hands his members into fragments tore:
But ever watchful of thy father's will,
Thy pow'r preserv'd him from succeeding ill,
Till from the secret counsels of his sire,
And born from Semele through heav'nly fire,
Great Dionysius to the world at length
Again appear'd with renovated strength.
Once, too, thy warlike axe, with matchless sway,
Lopp'd from their savage necks the heads away
Of furious beasts, and thus the pests destroy'd
Which long all-seeing Hecate annoy'd.
By thee benevolent great Juno's might
Was rous'd, to furnish mortals with delight:
And through life's wide and various range 'tis thine
Each part to beautify with arts divine:
Invigorated hence by thee, we find
A demiurgic impulse in the mind.
Towers proudly rais'd, and for protection strong,
To thee, dread guardian, deity belong,
As proper symbols of th'exalted height
Thy series claims amidst the courts of light.
Lands are belov'd by thee to learning prone,
And Athens, O Athena, is thy own!
Great goddess, hear! and on my dark'ned mind
Pour thy pure light in measure unconfin'd;
- That sacred light, O all-protecting queen,
Which beams eternal from thy face serene:
My soul, while wand'ring on the earth, inspire
With thy own blessed and impulsive fire;
And from thy fables, mystic and divine,
Give all her powers with holy light to shine.
Give love, give wisdom, and a power to love,
Incessant tending to the realms above;
Such as, unconscious of base earth's control,
Gently attracts the vice-subduing soul;
From night's dark region aids her to retire,
And once more gain the palace of her sire:
And if on me some just misfortune press,
Remove th'affliction, and thy suppliant bless.
All-Saving goddess, to my prayer incline!
Nor let those horrid punishments be mine
Which guilty souls in Tartarus confine,
With fetters fast'ned to its brazen floors,
And lock'd by hell's tremendous iron doors.
Hear me, and save (for power is all thy own)
A soul desirous to be thine alone.

Blessed Be, now and Forever!

Today I remembered something silly about the "one who got away". It really made me laugh...and then cry. I wish things could've worked out between us...but then again, I don't.
Things were really screwed up between us I think...we were so different, and so alike, it was scarey.....so now I ask for help to find a new love. One who respects me, and doesn't trapse around town like some sort of slutty................Gods, forget that last part...
Just help me find new and lasting love, this one goes out to Aphrodite.
And, to Athena,....wise one, give me the wisdom to leave the sleeping dog to rest.

[Shy Hawk]

Today I had a circle to go to....yes, it harvest season once again, and here I was going to celebrate...and dedicate the day to Persephone and Demeter. But, oooh shot down again. I got the directions for the HP's house....I drive (the 45 minute trek...okay half hour) and when I get there....was I ever surprised.
See, the address was for 1270 Magnolia Avenue...and then it was pointed out to me, by several people who live on that street (rather painfully) that the street ends at 1018. I waited Gods, I was patient...thinking...maybe someone will show up and rescue me. But alas...I was forced to go back home, defeated once again.
It was at that point that I had remembered that I didn't feel right on the way there, and indeed, I wasn't going to go at all. But did I listen to my "inner voice"? Nooooo, I'm way to smart for that.
So Athena...I realized something. In all sucky situations, there is a lesson to be learned. And, no, the lesson isn't "dont trust Wiccans, especially crazy Garnerians". lol :D (j/k)
The lesson is more like.....::slaps herself in the forehead:: double check the dang address before you leave the house!!!! Or how about, have the phone number of the place that you are trying to get, so if you get lost, you can call!!!!! Who'd of thunk it? Athena, you certainly have a sense of humor....it's a shame I don't. Hehe.
I'll remember this for the future. In all sucky situations there is a lesson to learn...not bad, if I don't say so myself.

Hail Athena the wise....and for now, Hail the grain Goddess, and the Harvest Goddess, Demeter and Persephone!! While I'm at it Hail Dionysus....cause I like wine and song...All hail!
Blessed be, now and forever!

[Shy Hawk]

Well Gods.....it's been a while since we've talked...
I always seem to get mixed messages about what I should be doing. Something goes right and I think, "yes, I'm doing a good job"....then something goes horribly wrong and I'm thinking "damn I must be doing something wrong". It's all so confusing!
It's hard to get over long term relationships...I'm learning that the hard way. Aphrodite please bring me to the person that will make me happiest...let me find what I am looking for, because so far, I haven't been able to do it without you.
Athena, school is back in session and I need you more now than ever. I need your wisdom and your strength...your will to stay on top. I am in need of guidance like only you can give. Give me a push, a sign....some subtle hint to let me know if I am moving in the right direction.

On another note...I keep getting my hopes up about certain things and I guess it's my fault but...sometimes everything looks so promising. I guess what I'm saying is...no one likes to have things waved in their face that they can't have.

If these are not things you wish to do for me...at least grant me the strength and wisdom to do them myself.....

And while you're at it Gods....help my figure out what I am doing for Mabon and Samhain!
Hail and Farewell,
Blessed Be

To the Gods wise and just...
I pray for wisdom...for me, the leaders of the country, and for those around me. It is increasingly hard to be civil these days and I need the strength to do it. As always I ask you Athena...to give me some of your strong nature, born a warrior....make me strong too.
Gods I pray for the ability to do the best that I can.
Brother Sun, Sister Moon....light my path so that I wont ever walk in the darkness. Or if I must walk in the darkness, give me the will to do so.
Now and forever, Blessed Be.

[Shy Hawk]

Gods...
You teach me to be my own diety...
With Athena's help I have been wise in my dealings. It is hard. Revitalize me, make me strong!
I have faced ordeals, and in your name I shall strike them all down. I am Earth! I shall consume all ordeals because I'm Fire! I shall overcome because I am Water! I shall rise above because I am Air! I shall go on because I AM SPIRIT!!!
Tonight I go on, because I am spirit!
Blessed Be, Now and Forever!

Gods,
I am tired and not sure of myself. I am at that crossroads, maybe Hekate is the one to ask for directions. I have a decision to make. It wont be easy. Athena give me strength to do what I know I must do, and wisdom to know what that thing is.
I am feeling more and more alive....I must concentrate one what is important. The ordeal will be over soon.

Tonight I'd like to thank the God's, and one in particular, our site God mol. I have my thread once again!

Also, I pray that I will start this new year on the right note. With a new job, a new home, and a new life. I pray that I'll make the best decisions that I can, and that I don't hurt anyone along the way.

May I always be strong, may I always be wise, may I renew myself and my path as I grow physically, spiritually, and mentally.
Blessed be, now and forever.

[Shy Hawk]

I pray that I am always strong. Always strong. Always strong.
I pray that I can do for myself, that I know what I want, that I don't need anyone else.
I pray that I am good to those who deserve it and even those who don't.
I pray that I will be ever changing, ever growing, ever learning, ever loving, ever being in one way or another.
I pray that I keep doing what I am doing, and come be to beautiful, outside and in.
I pray to the spirits of the Earth...I pray to my ancestors, I pray to myself....that I can take care of everything that is my responsibility.
Blessed Be.
Hawk

[Shy Hawk]

Thank you for bringing this beautiful man into my life. He's good and strong and wonderful....by good graces. I pray that he remains faithful, and we grow together, as people and as spirits.
I will keep him close to me, and he will keep me close to him, on this I pray.
Now and Forever,
Blessed Be.

[Shy Hawk]

I ask the Gods for wisdom as always, that I may do what's right in all situations. I ask the Gods for strength, that I be fearless in what I must do. I ask the Gods for love, that I never be alone in the path I lead. I am truly blessed.
As the sun shines and the moon rises, I too am constant and true.
