Today on the New Moon, my Water Ceremonies were several…. they began by gathering the Waters which have been keep Sacred on my altars. The Triad of trees in my own yard were the first recipients of the Sacred Water.
The Apple is the oldest and was one tree with three trunks standing vertical though hollowed out by time and weather. The winds now have the last one laying and still sprouting branches which offer apples as a testimony to the strength of nature’s rooted beings.
Next was the Birch being the Sacred Tree which called me to live here many years ago. When the leaves are full you can see the shape of the Kokopelli playing his flute. If you listen very carefully you will feel it in your heart.
Grandmother Maple, whose roots dwell in the runoff area of an underground stream that flows to the river. A part of the original farmland as watering for the pasture animals. The changes of the landscape by settlers and now the oversized homes of the wealthy fortunately have not deterred the Water from Her sacred journey, just diverting it a bit.
Across what was a dirt road when I came here, my neighbor who lives on the shore of the Agamenticus River (York River) tells me that in her yard this tree with six trunks is over 250 years old. It is well rooted on the high bank carved by thousands of years of Water flowing both to and from the River to the Atlantic Ocean for it is tidal here.
Honoring the ancestors of the land I use the name Agamenticus and always offer my ceremony here to those who knew the Land and Water in a much deeper communal living relationship.
Now down to the Blue Fish bottle after blessing all the Trees on my way to this special shoreline, it rests there upon the rocks as I offer ceremony to the River Herself. Pouring the remaining Blessed Water, the winds actually stopped while the words of sacredness flowed from within the Waters of my Heart. Not just to the Water but all the Elementals which have been witness to the many changes over hundreds of years and yet continue to invite us as humans to listen to their wisdom.
Bless You All from the Hearts of those of us who honor the Sacredness of Water and offer ceremonies in accordance with the cycles of the Moon.
I Love You I Thank You I Respect You I Am You You Are Me We Are Unity ~Riverman
Grand Rising Beloveds… What we call Life is only a moment. It is so much more than that. Offering each of us only a moments view of what We truly Are. Let us gather in Our Greater Light and there will be no need to forget. ~Riverman
Called by Spirit to the top of Mt Agamenticus and offering a ceremony of Love and Gratitude to the Waters for All.
Water in all forms
has a living presence
We are also that Water
within our form
Every molecule of Water within us
is an ancient traveler
It is in liquidity
that all transformation is seeded
The intention of transformation
becomes transmutation
As we return to our liquidity
before entering back into form
Let us honor our liquidity
and flow without hesitation
around all obstacles
In order to nourish and fulfill
All that we call life in form
Every form embraces Water molecules
as a part of its journey through time and space
From the opening of Our Hearts
to the embracing of Water in all forms
It is the call that every human is now hearing
In order to receive and accept
its perfect balance once again

Thank you Great Creator for your Gracious Presence.
May you for always hear us in the moments of our despair.
Today We come to ask for the restoration of our magnificence both individually and collectively as We move forward on our evolutionary path.
Each one of us are questioning everything seeking wise guidance and the proper tools that will assist us in following your guidance
Let it be We who bring restoration to a new level of meaningfulness wherein Peace, Light and Love flow in a better balance and harmony
May it be the co-creative restorative process that inspires others into seeking moments of positive action for all life forms whether We understand them as living or not.
Let Restoration begin within our own living presence opening the passageways for Inner Joy to become manifest and offered with Love to All.
May We Lead from within our hearts to help renew all of our commitments with the re-balancing of all that has become unstable both within and around us globally
As the restoration process removes the distortion and scarring of centuries within ourselves Let us also reach out to all children as leaders
Showing them how restoration is more than just a healing of our present wounds it is also an awakening to what is needed in their future.
So Together Today We Ask for renewal and strength within ourselves We Ask for a better understanding of the qualities of leadership – both ours and others We ask for encouragement and inspiration for all future generations.
In order that we correct the errors and heal the wounds of the past Renewing our commitment to live in a more Unified Future of Humanity.
Be at Peace with Your Loving Self and the World will respond to you in kind.
Many times WE fall away from our enthusiasm and relationship to the Living Presence around us Seeing the darkness and confusion that appears to diminish Our Loving Energy
In those moments let us dive deeper into Our Hearts and really pull Our Love through Through the inner confusion and heaviness that feels almost impossible to navigate in
Take that Love which is Pure Divine Energy and offer it to be anchored within Mother Earth As a gift of Thanksgiving in return for Her amazing abilities to nourish us when WE are in need She will respond in ways that are both energetic and filled with a gentility that cannot be put into words
Honor Your Unity Rise Up in Your Sovereignty As One Field of Heart Resonance that nothing can put asunder
Every day is another opportunity to greet Life with the fullness of your Heart.
As WE rise to meet the Sun, Our Ancient Benefactor…
Let Us accept with deep gratitude an amazing opportunity in which All Living Beings are recognized as a part of ourselves.
As WE accept them into Our Hearts Let Us feel the Wholeness of Life which can only be reached as a collective and open-ended consciousness.
A super-consciousness without restriction or inability to comprehend the vision of Oneness Our Ancestors are delivering to us within each breath and heartbeat.
Rising up in consciousness there are times when the flower doesn’t appear to be doing anything and we wonder what we might be forgetting or not doing properly yet when the flower opens it needs only to acknowledge its beautiful self
