ELPHANE WITCHDOMÂ
The Witch Cult Reborn
* * *
From the height of barrow-crowned Aravia
To the shadows of the Giant’s Dance,Â
From the charnel grounds of far-off BabylonÂ
To the green western land of the horned serpents:Â
Holy Lord, Master of things seen and unseen,
When baneful arts work we, be thou our awful strength;Â
When wealful arts work we, be thou our good blessing.Â
Lord of Amity, Lord of Venom, know us as your own:
When the hounds of malice pursue us in our ways,Â
Be our protector and our advocate-Â
Let thy serving men and valets enfold us,Â
Preserve us, instruct us, and requite injuries done on us.Â
For as long as the briny oceans are bitterÂ
And the fires beneath the earth blaze hot, may this be so.

N O N Â M O R I E R I S
Cold, birch forest, towering stones, heat, spider’s web, dead buildings,
Witch cult, four women dancing, four black horned men dancing,
Quiet, not absent from noise, invisible, hidden in plain sight,
A queen above the stars, a queen below the grave,
A king that dies, a king that cannot die,
Timeless, worming in the dust-bowl of centuries,
What brings together, what breaks apart,
What you hate, what you love, what you ignore,
What you obsess over, blessed truths, damned lies,
Cradle, wedding-bed, gallows pole, pure from the beginning,
Wicked from the start, in dreams, in waking,
In dreams, in dreams, in dreams.
Only one question matters.

We vouch praise to the Mighty Ones, those women and men who in ancient days did manifest the Powers of Nature and Preternature through their flesh, their bones, their blood, and their souls, increasing the pleasure and virtue of our foreparents. From the Great Ones came forth joy and healing in abundance, alongside the darkest Arts and communion with the dead.
May the undying spirits of the Mighty Ones illuminate our blood, vitalize our sinews, and strengthen our bones, making a passage-gate of our bodies which opens upon the green meadows of their own timeless time. May the Serpent Son and the Lady of the Seven Stars receive us and establish us in sagacity and serenity forever.
