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.

I sing to the Fair ones
I sing praise to the Fair folk, To the Tylwyth Teg, To the infinite ones. I sing praise to the One Who governs the mists, The hidden one. I sing praise to the Wise ones, To the ancient and bright, To the gracious. I sing praise to the King of old, Clad in silver andContinue reading “I sing to the Fair ones”
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”

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”
Gwydion’s song
Ask me not to make you wise, I shall not Ask me not of strength- I shall not give it Ask me not of riches, I shall never grant them. Ask me instead of the clear path And everything you need shall be there Ask me not to teach you How to read the signs-Continue reading “Gwydion’s song”
Where
Where are those who swore they loved me,When the storm gathers its clouds and the lightning comes to pierce the past?Where are those who swore their loyalty for hundreds of times,When the world leaves me by night, becoming one dark shadow on the wall?Where are those whom I loved too much to bear?Where are they,Continue reading “Where”
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”
