AWEN

 

spell for the spirit of fire

 

once I was greenwood

I died, and rose from the dead

now I speak in tongues of red

(roselle an gwyn)

Song of the Wandering Aengus

 

I went out to the hazel wood

Because a fire was in my head

(w b yeats)

Walker Between the Worlds

I am the god who fills the head with fire.
My blood is ancient as the blood of stone.
I walk the cusp where darkness turns to light.
I am the god who fills the head with fire.
My tongue’s the language given by the nine.
I speak the wild waters, the song of bone.
I am the god. Who fills the head with fire?
My blood is ancient; is the blood of stone.
