On this night of Samhain I mark your passing,
O Sun King through the sunset into the land of the young. I mark also the passing of all who have gone before, and all who will go after.
O Gracious Goddess, Eternal Mother, you who gives birth to the fallen, teach me to know that in the time of the greatest darkness there is also the greatest light. O Wise One of the Waning Moon, Goddess of the starry night, I create this fire within your cauldron to transform that which is plaguing me. May the energies be reversed:
From the Darkness – Light!
From the Bane – Good!
From the Death – Birth!
The Spotify algorithm blessed me with this one today. Had to come pay my dues, as it were. This is some immense, murky, horrifyingly beautiful stuff. adammcjohnson
