Sean and I went to Chichen itza Mexico this month, A magical place I’ve wanted to see for ages and ages. It was indeed mystical to be there in person in the Mayan Ruins. From our book of shadows: Uses of Kudzu in poem form By Ginger Strivelli The magical kudzu does bloom tiny torches of pinks, purples, and reds Climbing like acrobats over trees, light poles and sheds. With lusty fertile bodies it does reach up, down, and out, it curls, twirls, and swirls all over and all about. Making sculptures in the wires and trees it seems to go just wherever it does please. The Kudzu does create artwork; as if inspired by the Muses with its vines and leaves it paints designs wherever it chooses. Clings to everything, it does including itself. it is such a mischievous little elf. 'tis a flower for the brave and adventurous Not the poor souls who do live slow and cautious. Kudzu is a plant for joyful artists, cooks, Witches and crafters For it does make good baskets, jellies charms and laughter. -----Kudzu ring wreaths make excellent dream catchers or other charms for fertility, creativity, protection, and binding. It can be woven well when fresh and will dry much like grape vines…. Use these spring and summer months when the Kudzu is green to make some Wreaths and baskets. ----- In honor of the Equinox a chant to the Sun God: The Hopi tribe has a wonderful, beautiful and magical Sun God Incantation Chant that is sung very fast over and over and over with drumming and dancing. It goes: Ke-ya-Wa-te,layn-yo layn-yo mah-hoy-te Hi-ya-no, Hi-ya-no, Hi-ya-no (or in english; we are one with the infinite sun forever and ever and ever)
