Poetry Fails to Describe Your Beauty: the role of the initiator

A while back I asked Sarenth to write a post about various spiritual specialists and their roles as he sees it. Please see here. It’s an excellent overview post, and I reference it reasonably often. Which is funny, because I thought there was a role in there that isn’t. Initiator. Which I didn’t realize untilContinue reading “Poetry Fails to Describe Your Beauty: the role of the initiator”

We The People, a Myth of the Future

It was a dark time, as it often is. A time of hungry children, and sickly elders. The common people were bent with toil, and their leaders drank rich blood from the earth. There was no prophecy pointing to a hero to come and save the day. No cryptic foretelling of what might overthrow theContinue reading “We The People, a Myth of the Future”

Hello to you, 2024. I know we’ve only just met, but I have genuine hope for our relationship. I’ve known a number of your ancestors.

I Miss You Desperately

I miss you. Half remembered stories and fleeting images tease my mind and pull my heartstrings.I smell you though you’re not around. Memories of days spent running and nights spent fucking. Hunts and laughter and fights that shook mountains with our rage. I remember you such that you filled my stories long before I recalledContinue reading “I Miss You Desperately”

A Prayer to the Ancestors during Difficult Times

Hail to you, O Ancestors. You who fought and lived and thrived and died. You who live within me. In me, blood and bone and spirit. You who shaped the world around me. Watch over me I pray. Guiding hands in the dark of my life. Voices who say to me “This too shall pass.”Continue reading “A Prayer to the Ancestors during Difficult Times”

Prayer for The Defiant Son

Hail to The Defiant Son. Child of Odin. Who spits at fear and scoffs at death. You who is reborn, from every fight lost, born again with yet more scars. You who will not be commanded against your will. Consort of Angrboda. Who runs with wolf and prey alike. Who’s teeth-spears tear and sword-fur guards.Continue reading “Prayer for The Defiant Son”
