Q: Goddess of Old, whence, whereto do You call The Querent? A: Down Paths of The Unforgettable, Beyond dreary tomes and tombs Of modern day macabre. Follow the Fellowship of Isis.1 Weary not, My footsteps Well light The Way. Re-member the Mystery, Stars shine through Cloud, rain, moon and sunbow. Q: How shall This Querent find you? A: Elen of the Trackways2 Riding Her night-mare Snags Her prey Climbs the stars To bring you home to Me Mother of All Stretched across the skies. Her reins skeins of gold Silver horned in the moonlight. Q: What awaits The Querent at The End of Her Journey? A: Here, at Home with The Holy Ones We remake Our Selves Through Their Eyes we see through. The First Mystery is our Ignorance. Sloughed off, the gilded snake Returns, wrapped around Our Bliss. There is Work to do. Come hence. Tarry not. ©Leona Graham-Elen 20 August 2010 FOI: The Fellowship of Isis: co-founded by Lady Olivia Durdin-Robertson, now 92. Lady Olivia’s autobiographical work is called The Call of Isis. In the 1980s Caroline Wise made the world more aware of this ancient Welsh Goddess, naming Her Elen of the Ways; we eagerly await her book on Elen! |
