The Appalachian Pagan Alliance is still working on being more active again.
The Facebook APA group has added several new members over the summer, we still are not as talkative as the old Yahoogroup back in the 90's
when we were infamous for our daily debating and joking around, but we are alive and well still,
after we formed way back in 1999.
FROM OUR BOOK OF SHADOWS:
---Child Blessings by a few of our group Moms.---
"Gods of the morning, Gods of night, keep _____ (my child, my family...)
within your sight. Keep us (them, him, etc)
safe till the light of day; as I will, so mote it be." ---Pamela Sheena Maiasaura Tiger
"Around my boy I cast this circle, around him now I build this charm.
He will stay within my circle where nothing can ever bring him harm." ---Tanila Price
"Gods and Goddesses of heaven and earth, watch over and protect my children throughout this night as always, So mote it be!" ---Ginger Strivelli
(Addresses to the Patron deity of the child, in her case, Thor, but can be used to invoke any God or Goddess or ancestor spirit.)
"Thank you for guiding and protecting my child in this life and I trust you to continue to guide and protect her after this life."---Sylvia Clay
"Gods and Goddesses please guide me and protect me, keep me safe from all harm, bless my learning path. Blessed Be"---Susan Slater Saunders
