Nights of Yule - Housewights

12/24/2016

 
On this night, we honor the kith and kin among the nature kin who share our homes with us. As we prepare for further gifts and guests, it is right and fitting that these important members of our households are honored for their part in the health and well-being of our families and our environment. To begin, clear and perhaps decorate their spaces. If you do not have any permanent place for the housewights to call their own, you may either create one that you intend to keep for them after the season or create a temporary space for them to receive their offerings. Please be mindful that housewights are of the Not Gods and as such, you will need to speak aloud for them to hear you.

Devotional/Prayer: Honoring the Housewights

Make a plate of food for the housewights. Light five flames and speak the following:
​

On this, the fifth night of Yule, we pay honor to you, kin of our home, those beings who share this space with us, good neighbors and friends,
We honor you.
We have spent many nights under this roof together.
You have heard our joys and triumphs.
You have witnessed our sorrows and pains.
You have heard laughter and anger, and all of our prayers.
You, dear house-kin, are family. (offer plate of food)
Tonight, we honor you for the important place you hold in the home
with these gifts of our table.
We share freely that you may know the plenty of our home,
in body as well as spirit.
House-kin, accept our offerings.

    About the Name: Prairie Tidings

    One of the many names for a group of Magpies is "a tiding" of magpies. In 2015 this blog was used as a place for Rev. William, and Rev. Missy to share their experiences as church leaders, as well as goings on at the grove, opinions, and essays. After we got some dedicants trained in our unique work, it was unanimously decided by our board of directors to open the blog to all members of our church. So, we're a group of "MAGpies" (a tiding) sharing news, happenings, and our thoughts (tidings) with you all. 

    Thank you all for your continued support and interest in our work!

    ​MAGpies, please make all blog submissions to Rev. William, as he's managing the website.
