I lay out the cards. One by one, in a trance. One, two, three, four… I see you. There you are, riding out like a King of Wands, your hair flying in the wind.

Godspouse/Vows renewed
Vows renewed by the fire, water and aspens. Vows renewed at the threshold. Vows renewed on midsummer’s Eve. Vows taken by the fire, skies and water,by the northern wind and the aspen boughs. Vows taken by my Lord and master, Vows taken by the one who hears.
Godspouse/You
They ask me what you are like. They ask me how I perceive you. They ask me, what life with you is like. They ask me so many questions, when they hear of you, but mostly they want to know what you feel like. Different, I say. He is different. Shining, like a million stars,Continue reading “Godspouse/You”
Beware/ Plant Gwyn
Beware: my children are well-protected. Vex them – and you vex me. Vex me – and run for your life, for Cwn Annwfn are faster than your fears. Beware: they are called Plant Gwyn for a reason.
