Poetic Journeys – The Founding of the Black Flame Kaba

January 29, 2010 by Aion 131  
Filed under culture, poetry

Pan was lonely for the chase 
 Moon-white thighs and wine’s embrace 
 But the mood upon the land 
was of cold and Death He chanced upon the Waste in dread 
Dreaming ferns and soft sunlight 
 When into his loneliness came 
 The cry of a Hawk 
 and thunder awoke at the sound of its wings Pan, called Dead, arose and trod [...]

Poetic Journeys – Entering In

I am the Bull in the Garden; I am the lightening in the clouds; I am the thunder in the air; I am the rain kissing the earth; I am the whirlwind that crashes from heaven to Earth, that raises Earth dancing to Heaven. I am S/He In whom God is manifest upon Earth. I am the Great Jewel brought down from Heaven, raised up from [...]

Poetic Journeys: Coming to the Light

My mind playing tricks on my eyes That golden glow bringing me into worlds of pumpkin coaches. Valkyrie in flight, neverlands that never were, yet so much more real than what passes for day to day. Sadness is beauty brought down by ugliness, truth succumbing to convenient lies. Joy is opening all the senses into the spectrum of beauty. No moderation, no limitation, no convenient structural captivity. Let the [...]

poetic-journeys-another-winter-solstice
The air is crystal hard, not clear; Chilled by mottled, somber blankets. Cold grey on darker grey Lift pillars above the dull snow. Yet this drear light lies. Beyond the grimly bare trees Wild rose and black briars Set stealthy green shoots. Below the grimy, frozen slush Day lilies and daffodils Swell towards their spring explosion. Above the lowering, gloomy clouds Summer’s sun begins to spiral Towards its [...]

Poetic Journeys – Winds of the Sea

poetic-journeys-winds-of-the-sea
    I hear music in the chilling winds from the sea. It is wailing my lonely cry, “Come back to me.” In loneliness, my heart aches so I want to die. Winds, blowing over the sea, sing my mournful cry. Yesterday my darling and I strolled hand in hand On the shore, barefoot, digging our toes in the sand. Mist from the [...]

Creature of God, I wish thee no ill But just to teach thee: rule thy will. Christ’s love invokes His Might as Son To heal the hurt thy choices have done. Thus, when harm may rule thy mind, Only good shall come to me and mine; Rebounding damage that thou might choose Until thou learn such harm to refuse. ©2004, 2009 by Ambrose [...]

    In the still of the dark of the moon after the revelry has passed on deep, deep into the frozen fields of dreamless sleep we, walking, silently, along the riverbed breathing in ancient ash of woodsmoke breathing out long-growing tears to weave ghostly tentacles along our path take each others’ hand up to our heart to pray, to kiss, to whisper thus casting an eternal [...]

Poetic Journeys – Kali as The Devil

poetic-journeys-kali-as-the-devil
      Use any preliminary ritual you like — Banish, Create a Circle, Meditate.   By the light of a dark indigo candle place The Devil Card of any tarot (The Thoth Deck is recommended) in the Center of your altar. There should also be tokens of Kali — a simple inverted triangle, a cup of dark wine, dark incense… etc. Sit in ½ lotus upon [...]

O thou who sails Binah’s black sea Whose term is undefined O thou whose sickle circumscribes The arc of a lifetime O thou who gives but twenty-four Divisions in a day And never grants a moment more No matter how much we delay O thou that mocketh every pow’r That we here on Earth may know From your seat above the Great Abyss Ruling [...]
