Grandmother Spider's message-

"You may feel that humankind is having difficult times in the so called 'credit crunch'. Be aware that this is only the beginning of the 'meltdown of the old ways of capitalism, where power and wealth were grasped by the minority, with no thought for the consequences for the many, and especially for Mother Earth. Disappointment, disillusionment - even pain - are all things that can lead towards change. Awareness is growing in the so called 'Developed' countries of the globe that material happiness is not enough. Watch the actions of Grandmother Spider. When her Web gets damaged, she builds it again in a new way and then it will be even stronger.  Do not think that you are too small to make a change. Change yourself and your dream for your own life and this will affect your dream for your family and friends, the community that you live in, the country that you are part of and the whole world. Every movement in any part of the Web affects the whole. As you make changes to your dreams for your future the vibrations will travel along the strands of the Web until they meet vibrations of the same quality, and those vibrations build up enough to affect the whole Web. It is time to help to change the vibrations on the Web, for the good of Mother Earth, to learn to be 'in tune' with Her in a new way."

Imbolc through to Spring Equinox

 Grandmother Snow stretched her arms round the British Isles as the year 2010 began, and the Imbolc new moon, on the day of the longest solar eclipse for a thousand years, brought storm winds and flooding rains to Kernow. But..... spring comes early here in Cornwall. The Grandmothers remind us that our hearts can get caught in icy grip, our eyes can brim with floods of tears, but if we can stand strong against the battering of the wind of fate, new growth will appear and we will find that our inner sunshine will grow again. The Wheel always turns. As above , so below - as without, so within. The days begin to lengthen and the light begins to grow as Grandmother Sunlight finds her strength and power once again. As Mother Earth begins her cycle of replenishment our own Ideas, hatched in the dark introspective days, can be planted and  nurtured into growth. Imbolc brings the magic of creativity and hope. The trees breathe in, letting their sap go back into their branches and they dress themselves with leaves, filling the air with oxygen. After Imbolc, the Wheel turns again, and when day and night are equal length, we celebrate the Spring Equinox. Grandmother Kernow reminds us to use this time of balance between light and dark to balance our hopes and fears, and then move forward into the success that summer can bring each and every one of us. The seasons of our lives pass in a never ending spiral of experience - the dark days of winter are behind us, we will emerge again into the bright long days of summer .......  we can choose to revel in this and live life with wisdom and joy, in tune with Mother Earth.

Charge of the Grandmother of Time

Hear the words of the Grandmother of Time:
who has been known by many names - some feared, and some loved, but none ever ignored.

She has been called Crone, Hecate, Cerridwen, Kali-Ma, Anna Perenna, Spider Woman

She is the Ancient Grandmother who brings the wisdom and the awareness of eternity that we carry in our bones.

In the old days, we sat at her feet to learn the most ancient lore that shaped our lives. She sat in honour amongst us. She governed our governing, and interpreted our laws. She gave focus to our changing seasons.

She was our teacher, our oracle, our promise of rebirth.

Come, honour her as of old, listen now to the words of the Wise One, the ancient Seer, the Grandmother, the Crone!

‘I have been the Maiden, and remember that joy.

I have been the Mother, and recall that pleasure.

 But Time has changed me, and taught me the mysteries of the Wheel that is ever turning, the Wheel that is life, death, and rebirth.

I bring an understanding of the past, and a glimpse of the future. For, in the turning of the Wheel, the past is the future, and the future is the past.

My touch, however harsh, is love. Do not be afraid to know me, or to face my wisdom and my truth, for my truth will set you free’.
