Like the eyes, the heart has a way of adjusting to the dark.

and you tried to change didn’t you? closed your mouth more tried to be softer prettier less volatile, less awake but even when sleeping you could feel him travelling away from you in his dreams so what did you want to do love split his head open? you can’t make homes out of human beings someone should have already told you that and if he wants to leave then let him leave you are terrifying and strange and beautiful something not everyone knows how to love.

Mother of monsters, he is a terrible strange wonderful thing and chaos bursts forth from his flesh like juices from a ripe fruit. Tenderly his brood, raise them in graveyards and swamp marshes among yellowing witchlights and the bestial unearthly glow of old magic. Let staff and scepter be as a shepherd’s crook, wander the wastelands and raise these ungodly and abandoned children as pariahs and monsters, cling stubbornly to a grudge that cannot be resolved and an insatiable greed for a kingdom that cannot and will never be his, his, his.

Let them fester in hate that they might never know any other as kin but the sorrow in their hearts and the bleak black stretches of their own souls. Let poison take their minds and their bodies and turn their hearts to stone inside the cages of their monstrous bodies. May the children fear their names and their faces and parents blame their ill fortune on the bloody changeling tide of their coming.

They wander without home; they reap death and sow fear in the golden fields of that which ought be theirs. They are driven out and burned out and it only makes their hate grow stronger, more bitter, till the taste is so thick as to choke their throats and the only thing that drives them on is the parasitic coil of resentment in their bellies and their lungs, and they eat of it, and they sleep surrounded by it, and they will never, ever in their ancient and twisted and cyclic lives know peace.

That is their fate.

That is the poison of their kin.

We will be monsters, alone in the world, but we will have each other.

Queen of Darkness, Loki’s daughter, Hella, when we see thy hallows, Bless us with thy bright face, lady, Show a pathway through the shadows, Where the ancestors are biding, Where all memories are hiding, To thy mercy now confiding, Hella, we hail thee now.~ Lady of Darkness, Ruler of the night, We sleep within thy shadows To wake into thy light.

Invocation and chant to Hel, - Diana L. Paxson  (via nameshonorblood)
