During a trip with my soul sis to a waterfall along the Bruce Trail in Ontario, i took a series of my crystals in a special bag to bath in the falls.  While I was watching the crystals dance in the water and shine in the sun, the following poem/blessing was formed.  It is called the Goddess Shield, for the location of the Bruce Trail is within what we refer to as the Canadian Shield.  It has become part of my crystal blessing ritual.  The Bruce Trails we were on, were advanced and a challenge, an honest and humble physical offering of self to the Great Mother of land and spirit.

In service, Namaste…
