Fecund Power

by Wynn Dark

Earth PaintingFire licks across Her,

Scouring clean the land,

Laying down fertile ashes.

Wind blows across Her,

Carving ice, shaping plants.

Sea waters crash upon Her,

From which all life rises up to Her lands.

Bones of the Old One

Lay beneath Her,

Clad with soil by Her hands.

Her name is holy Jord,

Fecund and mighty,

Child of the night,

Born in the flood tide of Ymir's slaying,

Without Her all would be

Not but seabed and lifeless strand.

Hail to the dark one,

The shadow behind

The primal powers of the three kings,

The power behind many thrones

But bound to none.
