I love the night. The Darkness. Getting away from all light except the Moon and the Stars. If you are lucky enough to live somewhere where this is possible. But in cities the light is everywhere and even many villages are now brightly lit.
So here’s a charm for Darkness:
Mother of Darkness
Fecund womb of the Night
Embrace us under the glare
Of blinding light,
Keep us in the shadows of your care,
Cast a veil over us
Like Leafshade
When the Sun shines on a forest
But the summer glades are cool
And shadowed with your mantle
Where we can live as if invisible
And dwell in your dreams.
Recite this for your night-time reflections in quiet glades. Or behind drawn curtains when you retreat from the light with just a candle to flicker in the dark making shadows as gateways you can journey through.
I like 'shadows as gateways' and your evocation of Darkness. Deep ways to walk through.
