So in time the man went into the valleys and the hills and he came upon a clearing in the forest. Inside this clearing was a baby on an altar of dark stone. 

A sacrifice. It  was made wrong. Sacrificed inside ritual circles of standing stones on the dark altars. Left to the Ravens, the Crows of the Morrigan. The ritual sacrifice was for two things. To sanctify the violence, and to seperate it from the community.

Death and deformation, sick things are left to rot on an altar and picked apart by crows, but it was a sacred altar and thusly sacred violence. It bound up the dark feelings and urges of the traumas of everyday life and put them in a magic circle.

The horror is and was mystified and abstracted through doctrine and rituals, recasting the darkness as an ordinary cog in the grand scheme of the universe- be It Karma or the Christian Gods last judement. Or the glorrious halls of the threefold goddess of Corvids who pick apart your dead on a ritual altar that functions as an observatory for tracking the passsage of time believed important to the spirits of the deacesed.

This was life. This ritual savagery. A dark time. There are two kinds of human in this world. Those who feel the full force of visceral empathy still. Those who feel sorrow at every glancing blow they witness. Gasp and cry at another's tears. 

Then there are those who are suppressed completely, could kill a baby so they could sleep well at night, drown them in a toilet.

Most people drift between these extremes. Flying further and further towards empathy death as they experience the traumas of the world. Its the cycles of violence, the cycles of violence. They were thrust on you and you will thrust them on your spawn as you were thrust uptown by thousts forebears. This is the shape of the wheel

Break the wheel. Reject the call of the raven. Choose love and therapy. choose work and direct action. Choose hope.
