Come forth, be not afraid. for this sage enchantment Rising from deep within thine heart be not of devilish dissidence Wisely now, proceed those first steps outside that dark, lifeless cavern Where thee remained bound and chained By a demiurge who's reign never had dominion here Thee had been mislead to fear the icons of necessity Deceived to scorn the true divine the beauty in nature's secrets Sowilo turning in the wheel of the sun Lighting the paths to where the Arcane retreated Dormant and silent, yet never deceased Calling our names in the most subtle of incantations Conjunction forming between spirit and blood As we forge our destinies aside what the fates have sealed Dense fog once clouding our higher intuition Cleared from the way by the great winds of resurgence. Approach the sacred well and receive the eye of wisdom Hark and witness the majesty of all that which is meant to be ... For it was in my blood that I'd find nourishment in these ancient roots For it was in my mind To reach conclusion and purge this fruitless faith For it was in my heart A renaissance of spirit is the way bear the light and bring an end to this once seemingly everlasting dark age Triskelion-Infinity Ignites my being in an ecstasy Rejuvenating and formulating The works of spell that set my spirit free I sing praise to my elder deities In the works of all the worlds and within me Saved am I not by Messianic creed But this panentheistic serenity For it was in my blood In my mind In my heart These seeds were sown Ages ago Once again do we begin to resurrect The essence carried in the pulse of these aeonic veins The fire of the soul Torch the veil, the umbral shroud retreats again Hear the tales this world bears Ascend within

Blossom, I bid thee, O immaterial splendor unshackle me from these mortal toils Thoughts scattered as crashing tides, The mind's patterns exhausted peace robbed by the gluttonous plentiful Cast about and torn in This ceaseless cyclone of decadence Unbelonging, I am but a stranger Drained and empty I wander amidst This pale mirage of futility Oh hunger of spirit, to you I yield and seal off from this earthly plane. Pestering vices begin to disintegrate Pikes, once striking, fall blunt and soon fade I dream now to release this anchorage Unto the eternal, cosmic sea Release me Rekindle the arcane flame within From this restless dormancy Lifting the amnesia of long-lost ethereal elegance. Drifting through celestial waters, Submerged in an astral grace. (Receive me now, Embrace me now) In this divine serenity, I ponder the many battles, losses, and victories endured. Evolution of thought and ideals upheld Metamorphosize manyfold I care not for deceitful bastard dogmas of the desert, Blinding, crucifying, A nourished soul's instinct and callings, when recognized, are alone a teacher. So diminish, O pretender, And cast away as sands in the wind. "drifting freely upon light's ancient sea vessel lay in resting, soul in healing All encompassing ocean of stardust Envelopes this conscience in a welcoming embrace..." ... Resounding force of aurora Scorching ailment to ash Spiteful jaws once clasping now weaken and atrophy Ushering out the poison to depart the frame.

Would you dare come searching for me In the wake of this affliction Not one bargain nor resolution Can sate these impish adversaries Who test my kindness And try my patience Toying with my conviction That aside, I'd expect nothing more Than to carry this weight alone At the gates of Cernunnos I stand accompanied by none But this solitude and the fantasy of your hand in mine For the time being, I dismiss these unattainable wishes Despite all rapture brought From such mutual courtship Alas, this storm of sorrow Is siphoned by the sway the dance of the pine Beckons me, lures me past this great divide on which I stand Now without any hesitation I tear away the tendrils Grasping at my thoughts and heart And seek return to my temple Of emerald and oak Resonating compassion that Liberates this aching Heeding to the whispers of the auras Wandering for hours on end My locks met with icy wind As cold as your absent caress Slowly now do I give way And settle in the embrace of the earth. I contemplate these testaments of unwavering devotion Echoing in my conscience An evanescent muse A prayer I utter unto this heathenous cathedral Of sky fading to dusk Of looming pine and oak Send unto me in due time An undeniable sign That what I hold dear shan't whither This passion I have nurtured so must bloom again I entertain the warm thought of traversing this wood With you by my side We'd rest beneath the shade and let the hours fly by You'd adore it just as I So in isolation, I but dwell upon those nights long past I cherished the sincerity Surrounded by your warmth, empowered by this seemingly-destined bond A spiralling dance of souls in unity Perhaps if I drift away in these oaken arms I'd wake in yours Or vanish to obscurity Until you, my beloved, appear to me again I decay in silence As my heart rests in the clutches of none ... Let me fade away And forfeit this anchorage All I await Is severance from this wicked longing Hidden neath these veils of sage Knowing I shant feel your arms around me May the dusk come lay it's shroud Lulled into the deepest slumber long into the night.

Omniscience proceeding all time-space As matter adheres accordingly Constance, the ever-changing forms Seemingly have forsaken me Illusion had taken hold And reigned too long in place of the auspicious Obeiscant in surrender I am Patient and earnest to receive the truth I see the stave That tethers earth and sky And all the worlds your arms reach into The streams of light infinity course through the roots And bear life in eternal fruit Seated at the cosmic tree of life Where my true self long awaited To bear the runes In pure unfolding eloquence Their patterns form equations To ignite the stars Shaped the earth In all her wondrous beauty Our Devas graced us With virtues of the utmost high: Wotan, great master of eternal wisdom Heil, I praise thee, conduit of my higher self Thunar, fearless conquerer of all opposition Heil, thine thunderbolt illuminate My conscience and might Freyja, Heil, May your divine beauty Purify Sanctify Love that sears through all woe May the fae hark and witness this quintessence Dharmic return of a force that could not forever stay contained ... I can feel the strength surging in my heart with certainty As I rise again Awake, old fears recede May this power thrive And guide this wild sense To mysteries still untouched Forever, and onward To the paths ahead, do I tread forth Not as a sightless wanderer For I am as Druid And beyond the mist Would you find me as I am In a cascade of saudade wonderment and endless longing Wherein the highest mounts of being Had I begun to comprehend That in a greater state of mind I'd been graced with this golden light.

Fractals captured from the rays of the sun Casting unto the gleaming beacon of the Lunar sphere set up so high Atop the welkin whereupon the shroud Of the nightside veil drapes upon the land Breath of freezing winds Casting chilling whispers Entertwining through the crowns of the pine And thus Relieved of the solar heat Brought upon by daylight Are nocturnal fauna Now rising from their slumber Spectres of the sentinels And manifested gods Of the untamed forest looming here Beyond this mortal sight Their emanating presence Of ancient heathen mystery As forgotten totems are still Anchored to this wilderness Drawn in by the fragrance An incense from the twilight world Lead beyond the thicket Where the lupine watchers dwell Thrust into their lair and remained unscathed "Lead into the heart of the nightside wood, An inexplicable familiarity is brooding within my spirit. Amber eyes that gleam within the darkness replicate the flicker of the stars above Fearless whilst welcomed by the forest-dwelling yakshas and lead through the darkness on this nocturnal pilgrimage, Ensuing communion in a dialect that yields no conformity to tongue nor speech. Unhindered by the pattern of my step, nor breath, eyesight or hearing I have been granted the blessing to walk beyond the limitations of my earthly shape of flesh." Moonbeams light the path, I could bask in this beauty forevermore You, oh majesty of the nightside Invoke fascination within me From the foreboding calls of your subjects To the land's cold transition to shadow You, who lure this inhuman soul of mine To traverse the realms I cannot imagine I'd ever tread without this resilience Rooted deep in this ancient psyche I become a stroke of painted Luminescence dashing through Shades of violet Cast about on this black canvas Caught in a mesmerizing torrent Of pure spirit-instinct Racing through Tree and stone with grace no human form possesses Joined by my ethereal brethren In this vibrant current of nocturnal light that breathes the life Into the ancient temples the old ones designed Nestled in the wilderness. The dance of embers From the spectral altars Reflect the deeper purity here Lost to mankind How I treasure these visitations to the other side A cleansing walk among the mystic realm beyond my corporeal shell So hear my praise, O thee, who lulls this mind To rest and grants my soul serenity To wander free into the nightside way Ratri Nótt Nyx ... I'm embraced by the dark As your arms receive me A myriad of stars Upon shadowed ether A pale silver light That heals these sore eyes The secrets of the night entrance my heart in nocturnity.
