Welcoming the new year
FWTI has recognized the growing need for renewal in the coming year. 2009 has proved to be a challenging year in many ways. The recession, loss of jobs, loss of hope, loss of popular icons and even a horrible flu season have added to the anxiety of the closure of the cycle for this decade. As the number 9 represents closure, among other things, this has created a lot of things coming to the surface and a lot of endings that can lead to new beginnings.
Throughout all of the ups and downs of 2009, each of us have the opportunity to lead our families and our energies into new growth, new chances and new places. Our spirituality reminds us of the cycles of life and how all endings lead to new beginnings. So on this new years night it is good for us to remember that we can let go of what it is we don’t want and open ourselves to the things we do. More importantly we are able to show our families and our children that we have the power to change our course and being a Witch is powerful. Spirituality can be the glue that holds a family together in love and faith; let’s set that example tonight and in the year to come.
May you celebrate this night safely, with love, excitement and hope. May you enter the new year with blessings, renewed faith and spirituality. May you enter this year protecting the spiritual legacy of your family and setting the course for 2010.
Blessed Be to you all and we here at Family Wiccan Tradition International look forward to walking this journey with you in the coming year.
With love and respect,
Rev. Crystal Blanton, HPs
