I Saw Raven Turn White

by Blackwolf

Age Group: Adult



I Saw Raven Turn White ,
And The Sun Turn Black ,
I Went To The Otherworld ,
And Yet I Came Back ,
And Me Tears Poured Down ,
At The Beauty I Found ,
That In This Realm ,
There Is A Lack ;

I Was With Me Kith And Kin ,
'Twas Faery Land , I Was In ,
I Was Welcomed , And I Was Hailed ,
As One Whose Task He Did Not Fail ,
To Show The Witches The Faery Lore ,
And Of Their Roots , Long Before ,
Though They Say It Has Not Been ,
They Have Not Seen , What I Have Seen ,
When I Heard The Faery Calling Me ,
To The Roots Of Their Ancient Tree ,
To The Craft's Ancestry ;

They Do Not Remember ,
They Have Lost The Key ,
They Say 'Twas Not ,
So Afraid They Be ;
The Craft , They Say ,
Is A Modern Invention ,
Yet With That , I Have Great Contention ;
To Say 'Tis Only Modern ,
This WieckaCrreayafth , To A Druid ,
And Irishman , Is Only Daft




Author's Notes: This debate , is so ridiculous , to one who knows , and practices , and is Adept in , the Olde Ways; However , I am not going to allow anyone , to tell me , what I work with , teach , and have written about , is not over a million years old ; As it says in my profile , I despise Ignorati ;

Yet , for those , who truly wish/will to know :

That which is called the " Craft " , today , yes , is what you may call a reconstuction of older tradition (s) ; Now , you must ask yourself , where did those traditions come from?
Did they all evolve seperately , as some would argue , or did they have a common root ? What if Voudon , Celtic ,
Asatru , Native American , Tibetan , Aboriginal , etc. , etc. , etc. , traditions/mgieck , all spring forth from one coherent tradition , which was split apart ?

Shamanism ? Well , yes , Shamanism is old , yet that is not the Crreayafth , in it's Original form ; It too , is but a subset of our Ways of Olde , which Ye have forgotten , and
denied .

Many the Cultures , Traditions , and Civilizations , which have come and gone , since We first brought Ye the Ways
of the WieckaCrreayafth , and WietchCrreayafth ;

When all languages , were One Language , all traditions ,
One Tradition ;

Denial , by those ignorant , does not change truth ; It is what it is , not relative , as Ye would believe , yet absolute ;

There are underlying patterns to the Web of Weyrrd , none
who deny the One Root Tradition , have yet seen ...

Ye called us by many names , yet let me use one , from a tradition some may be familiar with ;

Ye called us " Fallen Angels " , and our children , the Nephilim ...We brought you the knowledge long , long ago ;

And Ye took it , as the One Language , One Tradition , and
after the Great Wietch-Witch War , the Key was hidden , and
forgotten , and only whispered about , by those who knew ;

For they were so afraid of The War , happening again ;
Ye knew us as the Wiecka-Aed People , and also the
Fay-Och-Se , ( Fox ) , the Cunning Ones ;

And the stories Ye created through the Ages , O , they were many , to make us wrong ! Our Ways , are not yours , yet We
co-exist with Ye , and We have hopes , Ye shall awaken to
your Ancient Heritage ; Perhaps , one day , you shall , as We
have the Fayth in Ye , see what We offer Thee ...

I invite any of Thee with the integrity , and true desire to know , to contact me ; I Will Not Argue This With Thee , yet
I will speak with any who are ready ...Blessed Be...
