Hoping someone can explain a bumper sticker I saw today. Driving me crazy cause I didnt understand it
Merry Meets & Merry Parts Then merry Meets Again
I was 4 hours late taking my meds today and maybe that is why I am missing the meaning. Does anyone get it
I don't get it either. :-\
I have no clue :(
I just looked it up.
"Merry Meet / Merry Part"
From Terri Paajanen,
Your Guide to Pagan / Wiccan Religion.
Definition: These two expressions are sometimes used as a greeting, and a farewell. I'm not sure of the origins of the saying, though. Sometimes it is extended to "Merry meet, merry part and merry meet again".
I also saw this on another page:
So merry meet- for we are all of the same family. And merry part- for our paths will follow their own tracks; sometimes together, and sometimes separately. And merry meet again- for we always will.
A paste of what I found about it :o
At the beginning, when preparations are made and ritual space is created, many Wiccans exchange the greeting 'Merry meet'. At the conclusion of the rite, when the Circle has been opened, an extension of this greeting ('The Circle is open yet unbroken.... Merry meet, merry part, and MERRY MEET AGAIN!') is sometimes used as a resolving seal upon the entire event. It is often pleasantly echoed by joyful hugs and shared warmth.
When used in the context of a greeting outside such rites, the words 'Merry meet' or 'Merry part' are an acknowledgement of the sacred space that we live in and the coming together and separation of each of our individual Circles. Each seemingly separate person is a Circle (and Point) of consciousness. We are a sacred space-time-consciousness and our acts are magical acts (especially those which are consciously witnessed).
Through the use of these traditional greetings we invoke the balanced centeredness of ritual and acknowledge the interpenetration, the unity, of our life and its magick.
Thank you all I was losing it cause I didnt get it. With all the reading I have done on religious practice including Wiccan and paganism I never read that part.
