Cynara's prayer the time:is 400ad the place:England Queen Cynara is about to lead her tribe of Celts into battle against the invading Saxons I praise all true Gods! Gods of yesterday,tomorrow and today. Gods of the valley and of the mountain Gods of the grove and of the forrest I am your daughter Cynara I seek you!I need you ! I am here to be heard Draw near and hear me all true Gods. I will bring you a bridled ox with a scarlet band I will bring warm wine to the halls of the dead I will bring you a steel sword flashing bright I will bring you the death rattles of unbelievers Give me the gift of hate and the joy of vengeance Give me your shield for my protection Give me the strength of Laoghaire the battle winner Protect me from Oisin ,false God of my foe Give me the cunning of the hounds And I will sacrifice my captives before your alters Give me the owls ears and the eyes of the eagle And I will bury them with rich grave goods I turn to the right and beseech the Sun God Conqueror of the baleful star I turn to the left and greet the Moon Goddess Night candle of the seekers I am your daughter ,Cynara! Mother of spirits yet unborn Servants of the true Gods Past all measurable time. Give me victory this day Place the royal crown on my head Sceptre and orb in my hands Give me victory over the saxon arthur ps;she is a nice girl really |

Very powerful write Michael.. But I do love your P.S. at the end.. Cynara sounds a little frightening.. but she is probably just misunderstood, right?  ~Hugs across the pond, Nancy~ ~ Trace my body with your words.. |
