Pagans Pray for Japan at the Cherry Blossoms

IF YOU ARE NOT ABLE TO BE HERE, SEE BELOW

Meet us by the Tidal Basin boat house on Saturday, March 19th at 8pm to spend an hour praying for Japan. It is with these cherry blossom trees, our real and living connection to Japan, that we will use to help Mother Earth send our energy for containment of the nuclear radiation threat, as well as healing for the people.

We understand that the earthquake and tsunami are a part of Mother Earth's natural process of balancing energy and pressure. However, these events still caused a human disaster, and being human, we need to respond to support our kind. Humans, animals, and plants, as well as the land and water have been damaged and are still threatened. We need to pray for a positive outcome, for containment of the nuclear threat, and for that healing that we know will take time.

The weather this weekend is going to be wonderful, so let us find the joy in the cherry blossoms to send back to Japan with our prayers.

***NOT LOCAL: A group prayer will be posted shortly for those who cannot be with us in the physical, but would like to pray with us.

PRAYER AND WORKING FOR JAPAN

No matter where you are, visualize the cherry blossom trees around the tidal basin. If you are not near the cherry blossoms, but have visited here, use that feeling of being near them to create a link. If you have never been here, and the image of cherry blossoms does not create an emotional connection for you, then use the image of something you associate with Japan to create a connection.

See them as a real, physical link between the U.S. and Japan.

Use that connection to draw a physical line down the roots of the trees and through the Earth between you and Japan.

Activate that link by sending positive energy to the people of Japan.

POEM ABOUT THE JAPAN DISASTER

The plates of the Earth move this way and that.
Back and forth like the pacing of a cat.
The pressure built up to be so great.
The scientists knew what could be the fate.
It was a ticking time bomb without a clock.
The Earth may have signaled us with a single falling rock.
"The Day the Earth Stood Still" will not be the name of the subsequent book.
Through the pictures that came in, the entire world had the chance to look
At the piles of cars and the houses turned into boats
We like to think that underneath, there lies more survivors, more food, and more goats.
We can imagine the great receding tide that warned the people
About the water wall coming to run them higher up than the steeples
Twigs that were the four walls of houses turned homes
Made deadly piles that chased away the spirits, faeries, and gnomes.
Mother Goddess, heal those wounds that can be healed
of the mothers, fathers, sisters, and brothers who fates are not sealed.
Dangerous power needs cooled and contained
In a situation where there is no one to blame.
The land still rocks and the Earth is unsettled
Pressuring release like an over-the-top kettle
When all is said and done, let the people of Japan rebuild
And let peace and friendship be something the world can soon weild.

Mother Goddess, your children in Japan are scared. They are hurt. They are dying. They are hungry. They are sad. They need

help. This great Moon that shines down upon us also shines down upon Japan. Send them your love, hope, and nourishment. Protect them. Let the would that can be healed heal. Let more love ones be found. Let them not go hungry. Lift their hearts and fill their spirits with joy in future ahead.

We invoke the global Elementals of the East; Powers of Air. We invoke you that come from the East to go to Japan to carry out the will of humanity. There are dozens in the vicinity of the damaged nuclear plant in Japan who have sacrificed their lives to stop the nuclear meltdown and further radiation leak. Give these people guidance. Give them the knowledge and answers they seek to solve the problem quickly and before it is too late to stop the leak. Do not let them die in vain. Make their sacrifice worth the price they will pay.

We invoke the global Elementals of the South; Powers of Fire. We invoke you that come from the South to go to Japan to carry out the will of humanity. Stop the explosions near the nuclear reactors. Be condusive to the absence of heat and allow the radioactive material to cool.

We invoke the global Elementals of the West; Powers of Water. We invoke you that come from the West to go to Japan to carry out the will of humanity. We pray that water will return quickly to the nuclear reactors, so that the fuel rods will cool and prevent a nuclear meltdown and further radiation leak. We pray that the waters around Japan will be safe from contamination. We pray that the Japanese people will quickly get access to fresh water and that no one suffers as a result.

We invoke the global Elementals of the North; Powers of Earth. We invoke you that come from the North to go to Japan to carry out the will of humanity. Though the earthquake and tsunami are a part of the Earth's natural maintenance, the toll on humanity is great. And, they have damaged a human creation that has the potential to further harm our brothers and sisters of Japan, the land, the water, and the creatures that live there. Mother Earth, it is our will to support the egg-shaped containment aura being created. Cool and protect the damaged nuclear reactors. Prevent leaking of radiation not only in the air and through fiery explosions, but prevent meltdown into the earth and the water table.

We pray that the Japanese people will quickly get access to food and nourishment and that no one suffers as a result.

We pray to the Mother Goddess that she care for the people of Japan. They are our sisters and brothers. Through the connection that these gifted cherry blossom trees from America to Japan, we pray for Japanese safety, protection, and healing. To the people of Japan, we give you strength. We give you hope. We pour hope through this connection that we have created.

Global Powers of Earth, Air, Fire, Water, and Spirit protect Japan, its life, and the world. The will of humanity be done. So Mote It Be!
