Poetry for Keener Minds

Poetry for the Keener Minds

I dabble in poetry and find interesting ways to incorporate my poetry with spells or devotion(s) to my god. I have a few, one of which I shall share for you to enjoy.

Please join me in the art of poetry and contribute your own personal devotions, etc. here for the entire coven to revel and enjoy.

The eye covered, still sees all through cloth.
Given for wisdom and knowledge.

His birds stained by night, turned black.
They stayed too long and would not turn back.

Gungnir, powerful, old, Swaying One.
Forged by dwarves for battles to be won.

He called upon me,
In the night when I slept and journeyed

In the room of darkened gold,
Sat in front of me, a man of old.

But no mere man was he,
Odin, Ruler of Asgard, spoke to me.

“Look into the fire,”
He commanded mine soul.

I turned to gaze into the hearth covered in flame.
And I saw my family's name.

My people of past carrying a boar,
Hoisted on a spit, craved by more.

A jump in time to the Green Island.
Ancestors reside in a stone town.

Seeing my great great grandfather is a surprise.
Being so young, it baffled my eyes.

I snapped back to the roaring flame and Odin steady.
I turned myself, ever so ready.

His words stunned me, filled with power.
My mind could listen to with for many a hour.

“Until we meet again,
Odinsson.”

It all went black,
I yearn to go back.

I fell and fell,
Past the well.

From the tree
I disappeared.

Around me was a dark dome,
Then I awoke in my home.
