Dear Diotima,

Staying up till past 1.30 am reading vampire fiction is not a good idea when you have work in the morning.

Staying up till past 1.30 am reading YOUR OWN vampire fiction is even sillier - after all, you *do* know how it all turns out. Yes, you caught the odd typo but really... sleep is your friend. Honest.

The Elder, Breaved

The Elder, bereaved

 

Oh, for the love of all the gods

            Give me permission to weep

 

Give me leave to mourn

            To cry, to rant to wail

 

Ancient convention demanded it

            Sanctioned it

                        Supported it

 

But I can not allow it

 

I stop myself

            Arrest the tears

                        Move on, move up, away

 

The luxury of grief is one  

            I will not allow myself

 

Oh, for the love of all the gods

            Give me permission to weep

Prose, Poetry, Ritual...
This volume will seek to honour and explore the concept and person of Hekate, from earliest origins to the present day. There is a very great deal of information about Hekate available today –on the web, in various publications.
This volume does not seek to collate that information.
Rather, it seeks to bring something new to it.
To wit:
Sound, scholarly work on Hekate, as seen, understood and known by the Greeks.
Sound, scholarly work on Hekate in the present day, and all times in between.
Devotional work – prose and poetry.Read more... )

Dancing God

Dancing god

 

Dancing god

            Laughing god

                        You who make armies flee

 

Goat footed god

            Hermes’ son

                        Will you dance with me?

 

Within the city scape you find me

            No daughter of the land

The daily grind entwines and binds me

            Will you offer me your hand?

 

Even in the city streets

            There’s wilderness to find

Among the stone and marble seats

            Of learning and of mind

 

For Arcadia’s a state of mind

            As well as forest dim

If I look for you, will I find

            You dancing, there, within....?

 

Dancing god

            Laughing god

                        Terror brought at noon

 

Laughing god

            Dangerous god

                        Will you dance with me ….  soon?

 


Call for papers

Another call - this time for a book to commemmorate the 10th anniversary of Triumph of the Moon. The call is here.

This should be a remarkable volume - I say should, because of the importance of the original work (whether you agree with it or not), so the volume to celebrate that, should be of the same high standard.

Long time, no update

Please note the calls for submissions from the Bibliotheca Alexandrina, Here, particularly the one for the Hekate devotional, which is being edited by me. :)

I seem to have hit a lull in writing. I'm reading somewhat, in very different areas, but not writing much.

Yes, I know my website is down - I hope (with the help of a friend) to have another one back up, soon.

Am I the only one to look at this and think, "I BEG your pardon? The garden of WHO?"

I can't see it as the Garden of Pan....

Inevitable, I suppose

My space account

I've posted a couple of bits of work there... Is this a useful thing, do we think?

Vampire fiction...

Does anyone have any suggestions about places to submit short snippets of vampire fiction?

Weaving

I've just received the current issue of Pagan Dawn, with my article about weaving in it - I'm pleased with it, I think. I need to re-read it because of course it's been a while since it was submitted but I remember liking it at the time! :}

With thanks, as always, to the editor.

Still here

Just very, very busy. That time of year...

I'm in need of a publisher.

One book of poetry (complete), one book on Pan (not complete), and would be happy to republish others... suggestions welcome!
