In The Beginning

Here is the creation story. This is a modern retelling from 1912. Notice how similar it is to Grecian stories.

Arthur Rackham

One of my all time favorite artists.

    Arthur Rackham was an english man and he worked in the early 1900s, leaving us in 1939.

Beowulf.

The Story of Beowulf.

Forget about the movies you have seen, read the story for your self. 

This is a nice version from 1933. 

It is in the public domain so feel free to spread it around.

Beowulf was one of the very first stories to be written down in the Old English language, and many things historical can be gleaned even from the various translations that are out there.

Enjoy.

Lughnasadh prayer.

Lord of light,

Lady of love

The wheel turns ever according to thy will.

For the ripened grain and fragrant herb of the field

We praise thee and give thanks.

For the blessings of thy earth and bounty of thy yield

We offer up our grace.

Sun-king, warm us in thy final days

As the bitter voice of winter calls

And we wend our way unto the grave.

Fill these waiting hallowed halls

With love to light this maze

Lead us through this thorn torn way

Away from the garden of pain

And bring us again unto that place,

Where our laughing kindred wait

Our smiles upon their face

That we may share with them again

Your immortal divine embrace

Lord of light,

Lady of love

The wheel turns ever according to thy will.

For the ripened grain and fragrant herb of the field

We praise thee and give thanks.

For the blessings of thy earth and bounty of thy yield

We offer up our grace.

One more for Rachelle

Oh how mere words do pale

When used to describe how lovely you are

Or to impart how much I care.

Indeed they are frail

Their opulence wanes, loses flair

And I at a loss

Just wish you were here

That I might explain

With burning kisses

And gentle caresses

How much I miss us

And the simple joy I feel

Just having you near.

Uprising

Lash takes the axe at Melee Madness

Another one for Rachelle

This summer sun that burns me so
is dimmed by your mischievous smile.
And though its bright and all aglow
there may as well be rain.
For when you are not near the world is cold
And my heart feels a longing pain.

Red Samuri

Behold!
From the field rises
Red samurai
The light of Bushido aglow in his eye.
In blood-rain his amour glazed.
Slick the gruesome battle plain.
One thousand blades now noble-dead.
A broken purple glave
Its defeated master fled.

Behold!
On the field
Red samurai kneels
to pray.
Weary, gore stained,
The Lash takes the day.

R

Oh to be removed from this daily drudgery

This dull, dim, dream

And be back in the arms of my loverly

My opulent lady of love and light

Removed from the grinding wheel of time

The song in my heart is a mournful dirge

Until she again plays the strings

And takes up that joyful verse

An ancient refrain that begets spring

And brings heaven to this hell on earth
