I blessing give of all that grows, Of ancient wisdom of the root, Of sacred knowledge of the stem, Of beauty hidden in the leaf. I give you blessing of the twelve That strengthen, nourish, Calm and teach, Of sacred herbs of magic Lore. To thee I give the heather sweet To celebrate the Awen’sContinue reading “Blessing of the plants/ Cerridwen’s song #2”

Hanes Taliesin
It’s been a week since Ceridwen, the wife of King Tegid, was last seen in the Great Hall. It’s been a week since she last sang lullabies to her two children, spoke to her husband or ate, for that matter. No one in her household knew where their mistress was, or what she could beContinue reading “Hanes Taliesin”
Ridom, ridom, ridom över sanden
Ride, ride, ride across the sands. Time waits for no one, tide waits for no man. Ride, ride, ride across the skies. Eternal is our journey, forever we ride. Ride, ride, ride across the waters. Our Lord calls, we answer. Long is the way that has no beginning. Ride, ride, ride across the fields. TwixtContinue reading “Ridom, ridom, ridom över sanden”
It is no joke,the Wild Hunt
The Hunt is no joke, bear in mind. Uncontrollable, unyielding, unbridled- it rides across the sky. Its force unmeasurable, its might unparalleled, its fury unrivalled when unleashed. The Hunt is no joke. Lords and Ladies, fair and gallant, bright and dazzling, ride with the wind, their horses whiter than the mists of time. Swift areContinue reading “It is no joke,the Wild Hunt”
There are those…
There are those who hear. They spend their days amongst the melodies of the different Worlds. They float in between, and nothing keeps them grounded enough. They hear, but seldom listen. They are what we call le’thereann donn – those who glide, the hearing ones. There are those who listen. Keen is their hearing, sharpContinue reading “There are those…”
You came here once…
Once, a long time ago, you came. Into my realm you’ve ventured without even noticing. Just once – for a mere moment, do you recall?.. Once, a long time ago, you came. Young as the spring, but a lass, with flowers in your hair, you came. Just once – when the world was still freshContinue reading “You came here once…”
Gwydion’s lessons
Whatever is asked of Gwydion, shall be given; yet what is not, shall be received in full, for it is the heart that matters,not the mind, and the true wish comes from the inside – and it is in the heart that magic resides, not the mind. So ask what your heart truly yearns for,Continue reading “Gwydion’s lessons”
Ellyllon
Here we all stand, at the end of the worlds colliding with each other. We face the imminent- and we cannot accept it. The words meet and part, as in dancing, one movement after the next, one glance pursuing another. We face the dance with trembling hearts, as we don’t know where it goes. WeContinue reading “Ellyllon”
The Lord of the Depths
My arms turn into wings, feathers cover them. My voice is no longer human, but that of a bird, hoarse, raspy, dark. This bird does not – cannot – will not utter any song except chilling, haunting one – that of a raven call, neither melodious, nor alluring. Liminal. Otherworldly. Deathly. The raven shakes itsContinue reading “The Lord of the Depths”
The gift of grapes and apples
The room is dimly lit and smells of spruces, spices and ancient books. In the flickering candlelight, tall bookshelves seem more distant than they perhaps are, and a dark wooden table is before me. A tall, hooded figure stands there, beckoning me. ‘Come closer. I have been expecting you ‘ The voice is soft, quietContinue reading “The gift of grapes and apples”
