Darkened woods ro'nd stonied tomb
in dead of winter's night.
Lady Beldam wails to wind in rave,
hued stars swell up on sight.

Stoic Virgo, Pisces moon n'wane
assay'd plea to Beldam, amain.
Come luck-struck or doomed late
her spell-cast beseeches fate.

Grasping candle's silver stem
all thoughts turn time to him.
Rant to rage, her craved-on sire
Virgo spices silence in wail.
Power escapes oak widened pyre
lending credence to her spell.

Prophetic in whispered whim
she adds- camphor, fig and orange.
Flames aid divination wit' candles
blue'n black as ragin' storm.
Marjoram, purslane n'heather next
heart to pyre in colored specks.

Heeding New Moon's station
Itchy Virgo love-spells adulation.
Salt circle cast, candles 'round
sends vow far, from here-&-now.
Athame in hand, blood drops t'pyre
tondre, torve- blaze 'midst fire.
Billows mix archaic verse,
as Virgo bleeds to bind,
...then twists the curse.

Itchy-witchy Virgo, portentous
jades gaze kismet's ball.
Twitchy, fits-y Virgo swoon
gives pledge unto its call.

By dark orb glow, crone beheld!
heart kicks up, then slows.
The ball demands of elements
she adds jasper n'moonstone.
As absinthe, heavy on tongue
Virgo begs spell's affirmation.
Beldam bequeths whispered vow
eyes glazed hot-provocation..

Lady Beldam strums harp, n'bades
"The one to hold your ever-bold.."
(strummin' twangy cords of song)
"..has been trice ere years of long"

This Norse-aged prophecy forsooth
spoken on midnight vow of Virgo croon.
Granted last portent hereunto,
Beldam spake.."His Virgo be a Cancer moon."

"..But a tyrant spell has bound me,
And I cannot, cannot go.."

Okay, I admit that this was hard for me to follow. You are so eloquent with the witches olde style descriptive verses . . . As per usual many times I think this poem can be summarized with the last verse.
quote:
This Norse-aged prophecy forsooth
spoken on midnight vow of Virgo croon.
Granted last portent hereunto,
Beldam spake.."His Virgo be a Cancer moon."

Jerry- Thanx so sweetly fer the "eloquent".. and fer baring with me on length, this spilled out..then spread. lol.

You gotts it on the last lines as well.

This is about a lil' Virgo witch casting a spell of divination..Olde Norse traditions called on Beldam (powerful ol' crone) & even J.Keats has remarked on "La Belle Dame sans Merci" as soothsayer when prompted, to be granted kismet's portent.

Much obliged fer your read of my whimsy-come-true, ty-ty always!

  The things revealed in a divination need be acted upon quickly or may lose merit I have been told.  There is much to to be read with magicks, and some of the world's best secrets might lie there, for even if the stars do not seem to align for you, sometimes the moons still do... and that can be a wondrous thing.
