Ladybug wishes.. And a beautiful Kacey Musgraves song.
My dear Ojibwa grandmother told me. If a ladybug lands on you. You can make a wish. Only one.
I told my grandchildren. If you see a butterfly dancing in the wind. You can make a wish. Only one.
I wonder? Are our wishes heard by the goddess of magic?
My grandson tossed a coin into the wishing well. He made his wish and he asked me. How many wishes can we have?
I told him. Wishes are promises, we make and we shall do one day. We need the wishes to keep our heart young and hopeful.
We saw a butterfly dancing in the wind around us. A monarch butterfly, so beautiful by the Lake St. Clair. I told the lake. Please allow my world to know peace. Please allow my world to know kindness.
I burn sage by the Lake St. Clair weekly. I use my Native American teepee. I wrote to paper, names of people who need healing, concern and kindness. I built a circle of rocks around the teepee. I put the papers and some sage inside the teepee. I light the sage and I watch the smoke rise to the sky. I pray to the sun, I pray to the water and to the sky. I hope the Goddess of life and death will pay attention. Burning sage, like Lady bugs wishes.
