Las Brujitas ('the little witches' in Spanish) is a celebration of all things religion, from the Virgin Mary to the Horned God. Expect witchcraft, idols, astrology, temples, nature, and whatever else strikes my fancy. Submissions are always open!
I'm Sara and I'm a Pagan who is just meandering down her own little path. This account is linked to my main blog, dulcineaa.
Thank you, Allah.
Even though I clutch my blanket and growl when the alarm rings, Thank you, Allah that I can hear. There are many who are deaf.
Even though I keep my eyes closed against the morning light as long as possible, Thank you, Allah that I can see. Many are blind.
Even though I huddle in my bed and put off rising, Thank you Allah, that I have the strength to rise. There are many who are bedridden.
Even though the first hour of my day is hectic, when socks are lost, toast is burned and tempers are short, Thank you Allah, for my family. There are many who are lonely.
Even though our breakfast table never looks like the pictures in magazines and the menu is at times unbalanced, Thank you Allah for the food we have. There are many who are hungry.
Even though the routine of my job is often monotonous, Thank you Allah, for the opportunity to work. There are many who have no job.
Even though I grumble and bemoan my fate from day to day and wish my circumstances were not so modest, Thank you Allah, for life.
Fons Lucis Stella Maris
This Byzantine icon of Mary is venerated in the Roman basilica of Santa Maria in Via Lata under the title ‘Source of Light, Star of the Sea’.
It is one of several images in the Eternal City of Mary in the orante position, the prayer posture of early Christianity.
