Invocations
As part of my practice this year, I'm beginning, for the first time, to create a Book of Shadows, a personal record of invocations, chants and rituals (most of them, hopefully, personally created).This decision reminded me of a song cycle I attempted to write several years ago, as part of a pagan singing group, of the story of Persephone. I became really caught up in creating my little songs, and it was an excellent way to connect to the myth. As my focus this year is on Celtic myths, I would like to do a similar project.
With one touch of my hand
The world changed around me
He took my light away
I could not see
Darkness surrounds me, presses my skin
I'm falling into endless night
I struggle and stretch against the fall
But his arms they clasp me tight
I turn toward the darkness
Beg to be allowed to rise
Then pause and gaze, such stillness,
Into his raven eyes
