A Spell for a World of Peace and JusticeDuring the Dandelion Gathering, several dozen members of the Pagan Cluster and assorted other Witches came together and decided to focus our 2004 activism on four key events:
Four tarot cards were drawn to act as the frame of the spell in four parts: The World, Two of Swords, Eight of Pentacles, and the Moon. None were reversed. Our intention is to create a spell which integrates and weaves our community together - dreamers dreaming of a table where there is enough for everyone (The World). Our street magic is stronger when integrated with magic from all of our hearths. We invite you to take these tarot images, work with them in Witchcamps and in the streets, in your circles and homes. Spin poems, chants, and spells. As we step together into our power, deepening our magic and working with our allies, we will manifest a Green world beyond the present. With your help the spell will root, mature, be reaped, and composted. Share Your SpellsPlease share your spells so that we can work them into a whole (Eight of Pentacles)! I will send you back the evolving spell. Contact Delight, DelightSto@aol.com

Beltane, May 1 - Grounding in the Mother (The World)Grounding and pulling/choosing the energies and life forces that need to be used. Building protection for our work.
Summer Solstice, June 21 - The Flame of Truth (Two of Swords)Sending energy to those who are doing the physical work of manifestation and creating mirror magic around them.
Lammas, August 2 - The Torch of Liberty (Eight of Pentacles)Campaigns and marches linking the DNC and the RNC begin, culminating in New York City at the end of August. Magical work strengthening the web of support for the diversity of groups and actions who are shining the torch of Truth and who are moving into danger as we confront the Illusion.
Witchcamps/Circles/Solitaries - Igniting the Truth (The Moon)Take off the blindfold of the Two of Swords, and integrate that which has been separated. A thousand Witches holding the vision for 2004: calling in the allies, weaving our community's web of support, igniting the truth, amping raw power into the spell.
Samhain - The ChariotThis is a piece which we hope will be worked on during Samhain. At this point there is no clarity about this piece. Perhaps by the end of the Summer it will be clear.
