Black feathers against pale moonlight, Glowing white against deep blackness: Heralds of the Netherworld, guardians of fates, guides of the abyss. Midwinter changesContinue reading “Ravens and Hounds”

One, two, three… Ravens are circling above me. Higher, lower, higher again, their feathers purple, black, indigo, silvery-grey. One, two, three… I should have known you’d come. You hair dark as the night – or is it the rain that made it so?.. One, two, three… Out of the mist you step, your cloak billowingContinue reading “One, two, three…”

He straightens his back, his body still numb after a long sleep of many years. Slowly he walks, his movementsContinue reading “Somewhere/Godspouse”
