An Ode to Stonehenge
In an age a long time ago was built this circle of hell
Here they stand stone next to stone, nobody knows their true power
This was a place where magicians work
On an altar they practiced their cult
With the power of words, they changed the four elements
Fire - Water - Air and Earth - defeated me and be my slave
See my hands and feel the strength - obey my might, obey my will
No one knows what it really can be, also today the legend still lives
They are only signs of a time, where other laws exist on this earth
In the south of England...

relic
drawing from the energy I expand my sights
viewing the darkness with tunnel vision
maddening thoughts assault
but I must face it it's going nowhere
dealing in deadly blows
it comes at me with force
I balk under the pressure
retreating for a moment
the sound is deafening
my thoughts scream
inside myself I rise
to stand against the giant
immortal power, thwarted passage
it won't get by me without notice
evil demeanor, wicked justice
scrying the damned
fickle fate I keen in the bleak ...

I.
I wish I was a Witch
imbued through grace
beget by the knowledge of Truth
to combat ignorance
I'd proudly proclaim the title
bowing to Mother Nature
for gifting me the moniker
of so brave the women
—maiden, mother, and crone—
who suffered under religiosity
from pointy fingers
and judgmental tongues
condemning them to death

Incantations
Veiled, she sweeps back into view.
Conjured from thaumaturgist nights
the new moon in the old moon's lieu
has crescent gold for her last rites,
though lingering is not allowed
when her orbit has dates to keep,
behind clear skies, or cryptic cloud,
conducive to Morphean creep,
slowly...slewing...into...a...DREAM....
where sunlight off high castles bounce
into a laudanum lunar beam
and crater dragons lurk and pounce
in druidic charms of making...
another spell of love...awaking!

Ablaze bewitching conjurers dance.
Enchantment flames gather, hex ignite.

Please lord
Spare me of righteousness
Allow me NOT to save souls
Let me bathe in sin
I seek honesty
I worship trust
Yet I am a heathen
To be clear

Remembering Beginnings and Origins
Transported to a place
Before time
After space
A voice rises from the deep
A song in the present
From the ancient past
Calls to the human spirit
You can hear the soul speak
Communing with ancestors
A language that transcends the ages of man
A recollection of past lives
Remembering beginnings and origins
The ways of the past have not really been forgotten
You can hear it in the beat of the drum
In strings
In chords
Without words
You feel it
Like magic
Releasing its power through music

Have We Remembered
Have we remembered the Cross quarter festivals
As Imbolc past
The threshold of spring
Bright and sunny was ill omened
Cloudy and dark bode well
And presaged soon planting
Did we step out of the world and into the present
To honor the conjunction of place and time
The blackthorns of Cailleach are blooming
The lambing time's come
And the milking of ewes
Make preparations for sowing
Before the calving begins
Have twigs of rowen been placed
In barns and above doorways ...

10 of Cups

outstretched hands to hold

Anxiety is real
remember to breathe
this fear doesn't need to rule...

The Day Of Reckoning (COTS)
To know the mark of the beast, look upon they embedded of thy kissed face
Weaken mentalities to deal with the channeling of self, yet a two legged entity walking among thy human race
Royalty has pressed upon the lip's civilizations taste
Rage festering from the fountains of a forgotten livid youth
The is the eighth eclipsed of the soul denounced living in the darkness of denied truth
Reliving moments of stolen time from a descend into chaos formed its own new rebirth
Until...

Dawns eyes...
distance waking
child of today
ending grotesque
fantasies.
Skeletons settle...
reentering subconscious
wombs waiting
to be born again.
We call them dreams.
