Nimue’s Diary

Today I completed my first journey with Peorth.

Shakti and I traveled in a small boat through dark swamps. I was poling the boat and it was just her and I.  We went through hanging vines and dark waters.  The sky was black except for the full moon.  Finally we reached a shore.  All of a sudden as I stepped out of the boat, I was skyclad.  Hearing music, I began dancing and dancing until I could dance no more.  Exhausted I sank to the ground.  After catching my breath, we started down through the darkness along a short path.  At the end of the path were the Wyrd sisters.  In front of them was a huge cauldron which they were stirring.

“You come seeking Peorth.  Open your eyes. Peorth is all around you.  It is the sky above, the ground below.  It is the wind in the trees, the current in the river.  It is all colors and not none.  It is the heart inside of you, the skin without.  It is wolf beside you.  It is us and it is you.  It is the sun of day, the moon of night. It is the brew we stir, the magick you cast.  It is all.”

All of a sudden, everything was gone except a feeling of awe.
