Will to Follow

I would have gone with you Into the depths of darkness, and beyond To save you from the loneliness, the pain Never knowing if it could have ended differently To save your sons, your legacy. You know I would How my heart bleeds out to hear you say again “I’m sorry.” Can’t I steal away the cold and bitter vengeance The liquid flame, the haunting memory? And didn’t you already pay the werguild? In killing rage, she tracked you down Thiassi’s doom, you met her challenge And she laughed in spite of rightful pain. How is it fair, what they did to you? How can they say it is right? Now you, and not they, are sc

Twilight Comes

The End of Ends has come The earth stands still, the earthquakes cease The drums of war beat on And all of Hel is emptied Filling the ship, moored and ready It’s there you’ll find me, waiting It had to come to this Your wrist still bears the scar—you mingled blood Can you forgive the agony, the rage? Sea foam churns on the rocky shore Almost drowning out the memories I know the ache of closest blood’s betrayal The sting of sorrow’s dart when you realize You have nothing left to lose Yours are the hands which guide the ship of destiny And here in the shadowed place between the worlds I offer myself, and all I m

On Loki and Magnetism by UinenFirestar, literature

On Loki and Magnetism

Humans thrive on bonds. They form the very basis of our society—bonds of family, friendship, nationality—and they give us a sense of purpose. We are drawn to others like iron filings to a magnet, and sometimes together, we develop magnetic poles of our own. Loki is one such magnet. In my experience, few other gods inspire such a sense of devotional community as our dear flame-haired Trickster. In spite of the ignorance, fear and hatred heaped upon him by certain groups (or, perhaps, because of these things), Loki’s devotees have looked to each other and found a family all our own. Some identify themselves as spouses or

Visiting the Cave by UinenFirestar, literature

Visiting the Cave

There is a wooden bowl on my altar. It holds my Runes now, but at one time it held a number of crystals. I was arranging them one evening after work, trying futilely to make them all fit, and remarking lightly to myself that I wished I had a bigger bowl. It was the beginning of a very… profound experience. I could sense Sigyn in the room with me. She is not nearly so vocal around me as Loki is, but when she appears she commands my attention with a simple, powerful grace. She was kneeling on the floor, her hair all in a mess, wearing what had once been a beautiful blue dress, now tattered and faded. Her eyes brimmed with unshed t

Come What May

Let the storms come, I welcome them They with their tearing winds and pouring rains. Come lightening and whirlwinds and hail. Standing in their midst, I am with you. I dance to pounding rhythms all your own As you crash about in glory, swerving, swaying To your own heartbeat. And I will never lose my trust in you For within your careful chaos is a promise Reminding me that all things balance in the end. So come with all your gifts and best attentions. My life is yours, take it Make it what you will. Nothing I could lose is worth what might be gained Painful as the rending of a heart can be. If I don’t need it, strip it bare Teach me t

But I Don't Speak

All these years I've been there for you Mean nothing after all All these tears I have shed for you Waiting for the end And now the day has come You've decided you no longer need me I'm left to cry in vain I want to cry out your name But I don't speak No, I don't speak I stand there silently Watch you fall away from me From me All the time I've prepared for this Cannot soothe my pain All my trying to steel myself Can't keep me from breaking For now the day has come You've decided you no longer care for me I'm left to cry in vain I need to cry out your name But I don't speak No, I don't speak I stand there silently Let you fall away from m

Birthdays Are Magical (Birthday Ballad)

That splendid day has come once again, and it still holds as much glee as it did before! That fateful day, when your soul met your body, and created the woman that so many adore. You grow so fast, the proud parents say; Though you've achieved much, there's still more. Happy Birthday, dearest friend; Birthdays are magical, and you're magical, too! The smile you give to others is a wondrous gift; You deserve many like it in return. We hope this will help repay some of that karma; You continue to endlessly earn! Your life has immense worth; I hope that by living well, that will be something you learn. Happy Birthday, dearest friend; Birth

Hopes And Dreams Were Burnt by MabusTheDark, literature

Reason by Lilithmae1231, literature

Literature

Reason

So, who am I? I've often asked myself; Staring deep into the mirror, As if hoping for an answer. And I long for an echoed response As I float through my field of dreams, Wishing as ever for the forced emptiness To tell me where I stand. But nothing comes to me And my shallow spirit. I am empty once more As I've always been, Nothing to hope for, Nothing to work for, I am Simply Nothing at all. Until you come to me. You fill my hollow heart. You inflate my flat existence. You give me reason to be. I don't know who you are, But I know what you can do. I know what you're capable of; The depth that, with you, could be true. I give you all of

Feb 13, 2004

Questions We Shouldn't Be Asking by Oswulf, literature

Questions We Shouldn't Be Asking

Pray for me. You can rest assured I'll pray for you. And if I pray for you, will the Lord hear my prayer? I have never seen your face. Chances are you've never seen mine. I don't know you from Adam And I'm certainly no Eve. So when I pray for you, do I know who you are? Prayer is an intimacy, of sorts. The Mystics have said as much. So that makes me a voyeur. Because when I pray I like to pretend. I pretend I can see your face. And I pray for an idol. When I pray for you, am I really even praying? Or is it just a fantasy? These are the questions we shouldn't be asking. Oh I know, there's a Catholic answer. But I don't have

Poking My Head Out of the Sand....

0 min read

Hi all... hope you remember me.  I'm still alive, but I literally have not been on either dA or FaceBook for more than 10 minutes for the past few months.  Combined.  No joking here.  I have soooo much to catch up on.  The Kickstarter campaign is on the back burner; I've been editing and rewriting and creating new entries for the Lokian devotional, and that is getting ready to get turned over to an editor... that hasn't gone away, never fear. My sincere apologies to any and all who have tried to contact me since my last journal entry.  I've left you hanging and let you down, never mind that I feel like it was unprofessional, and I'm sorry.

Devotional Updates 9/30 (Feedback Requested)

0 min read

Hi, all! Just a note to say I've been tweaking the reward tiers a little... the new setup is: Low Tier Note of thanks in the acknowledgements ($1) Copy of the e-book format ($5) Handwritten postcard ($10) Printed copy of one poem, snail mailed ($15) Middle Tier Copy of Paperback ($20) Autographed paperback ($30) Autographed hardback ($45) High Tier Chance to contribute content ($200, limit 5) Get to write the forward to the book ($500, limit 1) I think this just about sets the rewards in stone; I'm fairly happy with them as they are. I have also been working on a new series of mini-essays to include in the devotional that I won
