Midwinter Child |
https://rowansong.wordpress.com/words/poems/midwinter-child
The Art Of The Dead. We Walk In Footprints. Part poem, part ritual invocation, this piece celebrates the Winter Solstice and the return of the sun in the midst of the longest night. It is just a fraction of increase, a tiny spark, a newborn child that must gain strength before we can fully experience it’s light and warmth. It is the moment when the earth starts Her long journey back towards life and growth. Out of the blood of. The Holly thorn,. Out of the void of. The midnight sky,. And born to die.

The Box |

The Art Of The Dead. We Walk In Footprints. Deliberation by Mario Sanchez Nevado. Ivory Tower by Raqee Najmuldeen. A little while ago I had a dream. A woman came forward and spoke to me. I asked her name. 8220;Pandora” she told me. 8220;As in the box? 8221; I asked, incredulously. After some consideration I reached down and slid the clasp back. The top flew open and a stream of darkness flowed out. Where was the golden light I had seen? The darkness swirled around. Pandora’s Box by Arthur Rackham. I reac...

The Talking Stick |
https://rowansong.wordpress.com/2013/09/02/the-talking-stick
The Art Of The Dead. We Walk In Footprints. The talking stick is a tradition that has been used within Native American and other aboriginal councils. As an aid to discussion and communication. The stick usually belonged to the leader of a council and would be constructed from materials that brought particular ‘medicine’ or energy to the group. So why would we want to use this process today? Athabasca University Mace – click the image for more information about the symbolism in this piece. It seems that t...

Elder Mother |
https://rowansong.wordpress.com/words/poems/elder-mother
The Art Of The Dead. We Walk In Footprints. Inspired by the beloved Elder tree that stands near my old home…. Stands in unassuming grace,. Her skin like snake scales. And thirsty mudflats,. Bearing leaves the colour. Of empty wine bottles,. Frothing on dainty umbels. But no scent of Virgin blossom. Hangs in her warm haze. Elder Mother smells of wombs. And the wisdom of roots,. With distant stars and. The light of souls wandering. Dark vessels of generation,. Husks and seeds moving. As the sun sets. Send ...

The Art Of The Dead. We Walk In Footprints. We Walk In Footprints. We walk in footprints,. Engulfed by presence,. Of those who broke free. And damp earth,. Carry on wind and wave. To the bones of trees,. In the rattling storm,. With a thousand names. Uttered in forgotten sounds,. The melodies of land and sea. Light within shadow,. Seed within soil,. The songs of our birth,. Of the summer rose. And rich harvest,. Flickering in undergrowth,. Creeping and climbing,. Wild and consumed,. By desire for life,.
