Seek the Dragon

The dragon is in origin a composite of the non-human Other in Nature, particularly of those creatures and elements that create fright and awe. Dragons are slain by human heroes to alleviate the fear of Nature, to create confidence in the face of the sheer vast inhuman might of Nature. But in our time, when this dragon-slaying is destroying the Earth, the dragon serves to revive awe and respect for non-human Nature, that of it in ourselves as well as in this world. The dragon is our most potent mythic bridge back to Sacred Nature, which we have lost and which now seems a refuge of sanity and survival from the monstrous false-nature of our civilization, which is more infinitely frightful and destructive than what the dragon has represented. The dragon now becomes our hope for salvation in the face of heroic humanist triumphalism.

Such weird times we live in, when what was stark evil becomes blessed and goodly, and what was blessed and goodly becomes stark evil. In these mad times, which are relentlessly presented as sane by the forces of good order, for the person who clearly apprehends the hopeless madness, everything is reversed, inverted, turned inside-out. The Dragon becomes the hero.

The Soul is in Nature for you to innerly see. But in our time humankind know not the Soul, but for the few. Seek the Dragon, friend-- "He is everywhere, He is everything"(natural, that is).

The Eormen-Orm

Green Sun Comes

When the grip of Winter on the lands and waters ease, and the days lengthen and Winter's darkness fades to dusk before the dawn of Spring, the Green Sun, which has rested in earthly heat of Underworld, does arise again to touch and wake the earth, to quicken the Kinren who have slept their cold sleep.

The Green Sun breaks forth in the East, makes a dawn to bode the green-growing year. And it comes sailing, afloat the luft, borne upon a steady craft which steers a wending way oer all the Landschaft, touching all living things with its greening shine, mild and warm, a call to wake and wax once more, a growand-light of green and gold to melt the hold of Winter and drive it from mind. And sap begins to run again, and roots to seek to feed, and buds to fatten and break, and leaves like tongues thrust out the earth and leaves on stems unfurl, and flower-buds to rise and swell. And the Dyrkin get busy and go about, crawl about, run about, fly about, to do their work upon the land. And so the earth sings of Spring-tide, the waxing greenery dances in gladness on the warming breezes, and the Wildren in their lust greedily grasp and feed and breed again, as they always have.

And the Green Sun, having done its work and made the Spring, can slow to stillness, come to rest in its rightful stead, at the heart of the Life-world, to shed its lifesome glow throughout, for all the coming Warmer-tide to wield its sway.

Kynechting the Fledgling

The Drygand gifts the Lodestone to the fledgling Kynecht who has shown his readiness, sets it in his brain, and so it becomes the head of the Shell-horned Snake, and the whip-marrow in the backbone becomes the long body of the Snake, and so the fledgling becomes DrygandAlf, a true Halleth of the Edhli, a free Thane of the Drygand, and a newolden Child of the Wolken. He grows within an aukinn glassy flesh which runs with the Samen-flowod. And from his skin grows the Drygand-hame, a many-hued shifting Shadge of fur and feather and scale and bark and leaf and root-hair. And he is truly kynechted, bears the Wealds of the Drygand, can go freely into the Twyrymet whenever he wills, and is guided by the Lodestone toward the Menning to come.
