Twirl your wands and cast your spells, for power exerted over others leads them to behave in ways they would not otherwise behave. The veil is thinning as the energy shifts. Be careful what you wish for…

“The Illusion of Power Spell”
On this Samhain eve of the full blue moon, I wait until midnight darkens the shadowy edges of the glen. I dip the tip of my right index finger into moon oil as I trace the shape of the orb on the flat surface of a nearby stump. Within the circle, I place four white candles around the edge, adding the fifth one in the middle. With a snap of my fingers, the candles are lit.
I call to the moon to receive her powers cast tonight, caught and kept used for good intent only that no evil shall arise. Brilliant moon, may your blessings and vitality live within my heart. ©2020 Colleen M. Chesebro
Happy Halloween!
Marsha picked the theme for this week’s Tanka Tuesday challenge. I broke my own poetry rules this week… and it was so fun! I started out with a bit of tanka prose, including the accompanying tanka. Next, I added the haiku at the end to round out this poem.
Your writing here reminds me of St.Francis his Canticle of sister moon; linked below

We need that spell for casting our votes… may the person who wins… be able to help, heal and humble all who seek to be other than 100% fair. OK I know that’s not how politics work. But we can hope!
