Till the End

The rush of the clouds towards the forest

And the darkness ensuing

Till the rain falls.

It’s a hope for all the living creatures

Far and wide

Now,

The forests have disappeared

Somewhere…

And so disappeared the rain followed by

To seek union

As if made for each other

Things have changed a lot;

The trees of buildings have grown

Everywhere, the blue streams of roads

Have sprout like seedlings

And stretched to… Continue

Aradia: Gospel of the Witches, Retold

I'm proud to announce the release of Aradia: Gospel of the Witches, Retold! I worked for over seven years on this translation, demanding the best of myself for the project. But let me tell you a bit about the beginning...

When Charles Godfrey Leland's Aradia or the Gospel of the Witches was finally published in 1899, its effect was ground-breaking (one might even say earth-shattering).

It gave witches and historians the world over a path back to the… Continue

Poem: Christmas (An Acrostic)

Christ is still this season's reason of Hope;

Harps of angels tinkle with celebration -

Risen is our Savior, who is still

Interceding on everyone's behalf.

Satan is defeated, now and forever more.

Today is a gift, for it's always present;

Make room in your heart to share Love

And let the Joy of the Lord flow freely.

Saints, sinners arise... and be glad in Him!

Wishing… Continue
