Paganistan: Notes from the Secret Commonwealth
In Which One Midwest Man-in-Black Confers, Converses & Otherwise Hob-Nobs with his Fellow Hob-Men (& -Women) Concerning the Sundry Ways of the Famed but Ill-Starred Tribe of Witches.
Daughter of Sun and Thunder
Sun lives in the east and walks to the west. A god of regular habits, his nature is warm and dry.
Thunder lives in the west and walks to the east. His nature combines both fire and water: a volatile god, much given to outburst.
Unlikenesses such as these are wont to breed fierceness in both love and battle.
And having battled and loved, the daughter of their reconciliation is Rainbow.
(So they may do; after all, they are gods.)
Rainbow is a gentle and well-loved goddess, giver of golden joy. Daughter of reconciliation, she champions unity among peoples.
In recent times she has come to be known as patron of queer peoples. After all, she has two fathers.
The song with which our people once greeted Rainbow has long been lost, but who knows?
Perhaps some day we shall sing it again.
Rainbow, daughter of Sun,
touching both Earth and Heaven,
Rainbow, daughter of Thunder:
teach us your song again.
