Dragon's fire, knotted roots, whispers of sandals through leaf-molded earth, chant, chant, chant against all darkness opposing. </em></span></div><div align="center"><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;"><em>Silas has come to die today, in that ditch by the meadow, thirteen miles in where the woods wind into the semi-circle of a dark green grove. With silent lips by huddled masses, the priest weeps, hungry for the low lisp of a cricket's call. </em></span></div><div align="center"><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;"><em>White animal bones, ritually placed under the thick fog of a winter's moon, reflect the light of sudden frost. Oh Magus martyr, sleep! Cernunnos blesses you with solace as nature holds up her mirror to the wild, devoted creatures of the night. </em></span></div><div align="center"><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;"><em>Under the arching heavens, odorous trees bring incense to bonfires inebriating the Kerridge hills, untouched by the molten blue of morning. Song of Amergin, act of sacrifice; effaced footprints in the soil, victory is yours! Rain falls in the warmth of summer.</em></span></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6164355038629330986-7880676169869170893?l=isabelleannnewbill.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Lily Oakhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17876172958505721963noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6164355038629330986.post-34833514928731332072010-02-15T11:44:00.000-08:002010-02-15T11:48:13.121-08:00<div align="center"><span style="font-family:verdana;"><em>She conjured him among </em></span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-family:verdana;"><em>the redwoods in winter, </em></span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-family:verdana;"><em>along the half-frozen </em></span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-family:verdana;"><em>pond where the moon </em></span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-family:verdana;"><em>reaches under the ice, </em></span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-family:verdana;"><em>obdient to her beck and call.<br />Through incantation is </em></span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-family:verdana;"><em>how spirits enter the world!</em></span></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6164355038629330986-3483351492873133207?l=isabelleannnewbill.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Lily Oakhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17876172958505721963noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6164355038629330986.post-77236551452533516152010-02-13T02:27:00.000-08:002010-02-13T02:29:44.160-08:00<div align="center"><span style="font-family:verdana;"><em>Sacred bonfire flames haunt the night, </em></span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-family:verdana;"><em>enchant the spirits with their plight. </em></span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-family:verdana;"><em>Elaborate feast calls, all warlocks, witches those with sight, </em></span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-family:verdana;"><em>to bless the circle, Pagan's flight... </em></span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-family:verdana;"><em>Horned God reigns as night falls.</em></span></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6164355038629330986-7723655145253351615?l=isabelleannnewbill.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Lily Oakhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17876172958505721963noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6164355038629330986.post-52712147151773721262010-02-07T14:33:00.000-08:002010-02-07T14:34:40.555-08:00<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/9-JFXdj2Mb4&hl=en_GB&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/9-JFXdj2Mb4&hl=en_GB&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6164355038629330986-5271214715177372126?l=isabelleannnewbill.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Lily Oakhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17876172958505721963noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6164355038629330986.post-72111702216073345412010-02-05T03:33:00.000-08:002010-02-05T03:33:25.908-08:00<div class="" style="clear: both;
