The Three Kindreds
by B. T. Newberg
Age Group: Adult
There are Three Kindreds: the Ancestors, the Nature Spirits, and the Gods and Goddesses.
Let this triad bind to me,
By fire and well, so may it be.
Let branch the vein's descending brood,
And guide the lines returning good,
That wisdom beats in the heir.
Let work the wilder's hidden keepers,
And creep the barren's fertile reapers,
That tangle webs in the bare.
Let touch the eldest, wisest kin,
Who brush with life our mortal skin,
And fold our lives in a prayer.
Let this triad bind to me,
By fire and well, so may it be.
Author's Notes: The three kindreds, as outlined in the dedicant program of Ar nDraiocht Fein. A poem to help memorize and deepen one's relationship with the kindreds.

As a Naturalistic Pagan, I believe in evidence. There is no evidence that deities and magic are "real" in the most literal sense, but they may yet be moving and powerful. These poems are a tribute to the inspiration of Pagan ways.
For more information on naturalism, see HumanisticPaganism.com.
