Symbolic of knowledge and of spiritual initiation,
and the Great Rite in sensuality with deep felt emotion.
You are the weaver that entwines around others,
combining two into one, sometimes forever,
as one seeks to understand and respect of one’s options
before seeking to be understood with elective actions.
Elicit delicate paths in your wake
beautiful as it twists to your own fate.
Masculine and feminine as you climb your way
in many hues and colors in a dappled foray.
Your moon of festivity
I celebrate in gaiety.
Your blackberry vine is opulence with magnificence
shields me with a fortification and armored defense.
Your blueberry vine is mystical and spirituality
as in dream magick, I visualize with your pure divinity.
Your grape vine is productive in lush fertility
stimulating inspirational prosperity.
As well as in binding, compulsory
as requisite and obligatory.
Your thistle vine brings courage with audacity
protective vigor and dynamic potency.
With the emerald as your gem you are loyal and affectionate,
trustworthy with conviction and the elegant gift of eloquence.
In your fidelity you are consistently
giving love and infinite immortality.
The valerian umbrella, your flower
‘to be well’, in white, pink, blue or lavender,
sacred to Venus, Goddess of love, beauty, and of springtime
and the Tuath De Danaan, Gods of all goodness and of light.
Your totem animal spirits are the lizard first
Revealing dark shadows of events at your own hearth
That change in shape and pattern at a whim,
with the hound as your constant companion.
Your white swan of grace and beauty balance
between the mundane and magickal dance,
interpret my dreams in transition
and blessed symbols of evolution.
Your gracious gifts are many,
your blessings are aplenty,
as you teach my hungry soul and psyche
catalyst of change is my destiny.
