From the 900 Sacred Songs of the Witches

 

Long ago, the Horned looked down from Heaven, and saw that we were cold, and hungry, and in darkness.

Then, in his mighty ruth, he stole the Fire of the Gods, came down, and gave us Fire.

Ever since when, we sing his song at Yule.

 

He Came Down

 

Bring Fire, Fire-bringer

He came down

like a falling star

He came down

he brought Fire

He came down

from the hearth of Thunder

He came down

between the horns he bore it

He came down

blessing on blessing

He came down

blood smoke, cedar smoke

He came down

he-goat sacrifice

He came down

 

Ruth: compassion

Poet, scholar and storyteller Steven Posch was raised in the hardwood forests of western Pennsylvania by white-tailed deer. (That's the story, anyway.) He emigrated to Paganistan in 1979 and by sheer dint of personality has become one of Lake Country's foremost men-in-black. He is current keeper of the Minnesota Ooser.
