Feature Friday: Carrying the Load

Hello there everyone~! I hope you all are doing well these days. Recently, Antigone and I got back from Kami-Con 2013, and while it was a profitable venture for us both, it was easily one of the most trying experiences of our career. I won’t go into too much detail, (considering I have lingered on this topic for far too long now) But for those of you who didn’t know, feel free to read my full experience of the convention that I wrote a few days ago.

Kami-Con 2013 Journal

Thankfully, Antigone and I have been graced with some truly amazing friends and supporters. After writing this, I think our inboxes got flooded with letters of concern, sympathy, and love. The love and support that we received meant the world to us, but even so, pain still lingers and the healing process is an ongoing thing.

I felt like because of all this, now would be a good time to put into motion an idea I’ve had for a long time now. “Feature Friday” a day where I feature something that truly inspires me to create and/or better myself in some particular way, and share it with everyone. Continue reading

And I serve…

And I serve...

And…. I serve.

Oh? Why hello there~! Serve who you might ask?

A goddess of all, far and wide,

None ever to turn my tide

Well… I serve myself. That’s the most important thing.

For deep inside of me I’m composed of many things

and each of those things creates ripples, ripples that go beyond all that can be seen

For I’m the air you breathe, as well as the soil beneath your feet!

That gentle little breeze, the one that smells of roses oh so sweet~!

Even the cute girl or boy you feel so deep!

Yes, yes that’s me too.

But now I’m here, you’ve called me from so far, I’ve had to travel for quite a long time.

I’m actually really tired, and making these rhymes is so hard! Isn’t it enough for a goddess to watch over her children?

Lighten up,~! Let’s just relax and shoot the breeze~! You’re in my land, my time, my space. As your eyes follow the dance of these foreign words,

your mind drifts to a far away place, a place that I would like to share with you.

Here is a story that I’m going to tell. A story that takes place beyond the bounds of time… It’s a special tale, one very close to my heart.

So listen well! I might need to tell this in parts…

It all began with a single tear. A tear that came from the heart of a beautiful woman. Maiden of all, maiden of dawn, she was a woman who’s heart knew no bounds…

She spent all her days staring far up into the stars… wondering, where it was that her heart was born?

One day, the answer came to her…. An answer so terrifying, so heartbreaking, and so moving, that it inspired her to create, create beyond her heart’s desire.

A tear fell from her heart, and it traveled down deep through the void.

It splashed. And that splash, created the first ripples of time.

Time spread out and curled, it folded, unfolded, and refolded in more directions than was imaginable.

Together with the hands of the beautiful maiden, these threads were woven, woven delicately into an intricate design, a design that far surpassed the understanding of anyone. Including herself.

For the first time, she gave birth, birth to not just anything, but her first child.

That child’s, name was “Feywilde”

What came of this child? And who was this maiden exactly?

What does this even have to do with you? Hehe. My child. That’s going to take some convincing.

You see, Unlike many other goddesses, I actually take convincing to do things that I don’t like.

Telling this story, as beautiful as it is, is difficult for me. It will take some time to unravel my heart.

But, if your willing, and if you love me enough, then maybe we can embark on this journey together?

As these words hit your eyes, they might glance off your mind, and then my image will fade from your existence.

But just know, even if I do fade, I’m the air you breathe, as well as the soil beneath your feet!

That gentle little breeze, the one that smells of roses oh so sweet~!

Even the cute girl or boy you feel so deep!

Yes, yes that’s me too~!

For those who are eager to hear the rest of my story, come search for me.

I’ll be in a place waiting, watching from close by.

And when you find me, I’ll tell you the rest.

For I serve… The Faerie Queen.

I serve the Faerie Queen

The only master to whom I’ll ever bow

The one who does as no man could

For only a woman can make me purr

And only females are worthy of stroking my fur

An energy for which none compete

Which let my claws to grow fifty feet

My breast swell as faster my heart beats

Digging my claws, staring down fresh meat

Oh how my body swells

laughing as many weak men fell

None shall ever test my strength

None shall ever cage this beast

Eternally will I enjoy my carnal feast

None to stop my mad pursuit.

Only one hand can command this beast

And only feminine energy can make me bow

as it swirls all around me

dancing, beckoning, taunting, tickling

Ah my love is so fickle

or rather to say a fleeting affection?

For the moment I will not kill

For a woman of your stature I harbor no ill will

with skin so soft it drives me insane

and curves so delicate I feel so much pain…

my desire and lust strike at my heart

as the many men I’ve torn apart.

blood and flesh trickle down my face

to her touch I feel disgrace!

A beast with no master, rivaled by no other,

But her I can’t touch, She is my mother,

I serve the Faerie Queen, I’m….

In love with the Faerie Queen.

The one who makes by body lust

The only master to whom I’ll ever bow

The one who does as no man could

For only a woman can make me purr

And only females are worthy of stroking my fur

An energy for which none compete

Which let my claws to grow fifty feet

My breast swell as faster my heart beats

Digging my claws, staring down fresh meat

But the only to fall is my own heart

For she is a woman that I am part

I’m her toy, her doted upon pet

nothing more and nothing much less

All I can get? I’ll gladly take it

I’ll purr for you all you want

and I’ll give you as much as you can take

For I’m a beast of the Faerie Queen

My prey will fall in her name.

No man shall ever enter me.

For my flower was only meant to be,

to be held and stroked by a cunning lass

One that only I can see.

The one whom I’m meant to be

For I serve the Faerie Queen.

Also, a Quick announcement~

It’s that time of the year again. Yep. you Guessed it! The Yule~! Heh, you guys probably have no clue what the Yule is. Well, in essence, it’s a pagan holiday, and what many Christmas traditions have been based off of. It’s the time of the year when the darkness has fully settled in, and from here on out, the light will begin to slowly return to the world. For us witches, its a time of togetherness, recollection, and appreciation of what we have. Also, fun fact, the yule takes place this year on the very same prophesied end of the Mayan Calendar. Also, another fun fact, as the earth revolves around the sun, the axis of the earth itself slowly rotates. A full rotation takes about 26,000 years. The circle of rotation is divided into a bunch of different sections, kinda like a pie, and each section marks an era of the earth. The Age of the Pisces is what you have all experienced during your lifetime’s thus far. Well, the earth will enter the next era, the age of the Aquarius on the day of the Yule/The end of the Mayan Calendar. The 21st. Heavy stuff huh? No matter what way you look at it, it marks a special occasion for the Earth.

Anyways, With all of that being said~! Were having a Sale~! Celebrating all of these wonderful new landmarks and changes. It’s a wonderful time to be alive right now, so we should all be happy and celebrate it!

I serve the Faerie Queen,

Oh? What’s this here? Who might you be?

Well you’ve just come upon the finest waters of Feywilde you see~!

Anything you desire I happen to have

My bright things know and understand all

Shining, shimmering, so deep in Feywilde

lies all of the answers to stories untold

Your memories unfold, so deeply unto me

There is nothing I don’t hold deep in my sea

Pregnant with answers, Wisdom is life

Birthing of instinct, Knowledge is death

Perhaps the answers are more shallow than you think?

Come here for pleasure? I have that as well!

My flesh unto yours, will make you feel swell~!

Listen to my song and absorb my light

my waters shimmer brightly with all their might

they hold the answers that you will forever seek

do what you will, for this is my sea~

As shallow as your heart might be

or as deep as the depths of my trenches

there is nothing that my bright things can’t quench,

Deep down in the waters of Feywilde anything goes

You should know! This is my sea! You are free!

Think as you think, feel as you feel, come as are

Down in here feel free to touch! Come on! Come feel!

There’s nothing inside of you that I can’t see!

Your memories unfold, so deeply unto me

There is nothing I don’t hold deep in my sea!

Minutes to hours, and seconds to days

What time was it again? Oh my, who cares~

Time and space be such a fickle things

For I know all so deep in my sea~

So loosen your muscles, and rest your back

Let my hands caress you, in that place you hold dear

I can feel your pleasure, oh how good it must feel?

I can feel your pain, what strive you must hold~

I am your mother, your sister, and your lover..

I am the keeper of all bright things

For I know all and live among the sea

and I serve the Faerie Queen.

Rhaza

 

I serve the Faerie Queen.

To carve the path where she shall grow

My sword an extension of the earth,

My body an extension of my sword,

I raise my hand and spread my wings

To reach a land that’s far beyond me

Plants will grow and earth will sing

of all the glory my sword will bring

I am the hand that will touch the sky

A heart that burns more brightly than god

I surrender my body to the earth itself

To stand between the void and herself

My body an extension of my sword,

My sword an extension of the earth,

Never again shall Feywilde die,

I serve the Faerie Queen.
