about me
All my relations. All are my relations. All creatures -- animate and inanimate -- in the Nine Worlds. Related through the ancestors, we are all kin. The serpent who called has bitten me and will not let go.

I may journey for you, if you request.

From this time on, the nights become longer and longer.

Hexennacht Greetings (blog entry) My tongue wants to say "Happy Hexennacht," because it's alliterative. Then my mind tells my tongue, "But it's really not a happy day." Tomorrow will be happy, though, because the darkness tonight ushers in tomorrow's spring.

Weaving Stinging Thorns (blog entry) For seven years, she wove the stinging thorns.
For seven years, he pleaded for a word.
He might have waited 'till she answered, "Yes,"
but he did not and he took her to his bed.
