about

Emanations to the Elf Queen of Poisons, the most beautiful of deadly plants - Atropa Belladonna. Recorded 11th September MMXVIII. Released 19th February MMXIX, as the Full Moon shifts from the Sign of the Lion, into the sign of the Daughter of the Harvest.

Deepest gratitude to Déhà for his contribution and assistance with this track.

lyrics

“Lovely Goddess of the Bow,
Lovely Goddess of the Arrows,
Of all hounds and of all hunting.

Thou who wakest in starry heaven,
When the Sun is slunk in slumber.

Thou with moon upon thy forehead, who
The chase by night preferrest unto hunting in the daylight,
With thy nymphs,
Unto the music of the horn,
Thyself the huntress, and most powerful.

I pray thee:
Think, although but for an instant -
Upon she who prays unto thee.
If thou heeds’t my evocation,
And would give good fortune to me -
Then in proof, give me a token.

Then, may I hear:

The croaking of a frog
The howling of a dog
Or the hissing of a serpent…”

(Invokation to Diana, from ‘Aradia - Gospel of the Witches’.)

-

Through the Womb of Water I enter
The Temple beneath the Temple,
The Heart below the mountain.
I descend the Spire.

Arise!
See? The Moon is hiding…
In Darkness, arise!
The Night is whole.

In Darkness I do my Lady’s bidding.
From out of the corpse -
I call forth the soul.

The Seed I seek grows within the Waters of the Eye of Death.

Unquiet shades,
Rise from your graves!
Teach me the Arts,
My father forbade.
