Thunderstorm, 7/17/21

Tonight, the old gods tore the sky

from end to end in ruthless bliss

as lighting fell upon the earth

and smote the ground with deadly kiss.

I think I finally understand

how ancient, fearful man did feel,

for never have I seen a thing

that made me question what was real.

Prayer To Sekhmet

O Mistress of Terror, Red Lady, She-Who-brings-the-evildoers-to-justice, Right Eye of Ra, Turn not Your anger against us.

We bend our arms to You, We fall on our bellies before Your red rage, No evil can withstand the fire of Your righteousness. Turn not Your anger against us. The weak cry out to You, The sick pray for healing, The wronged plead for justice. Turn not Your anger against us.

Great is the love of Your people for You. Behold, we pour cool water and oil for You, We offer red beer to slake Your thirst for blood, Turn not Your anger against us. O Mighty Sekhmet, Queen of Cities, Whose strength is without contender, May You ascend to Ra with our prayers, Riding the hot winds of Tjemehu, Roaring Your demands for Truth, Retribution, and the return of Ma'at. Turn not Your anger against us.

Composed on "The Day of Her Rage in Tjemehu" March 29, 2000

This painting, "Idise" (1905) by Emil Doepler, depicts a scene from the Merseburg Zaubersprüche (magic charms), two texts written in Old High German (Althochdeutsch) around the 9th century. They represent the only preserved texts describing German pagan belief that were not written by Christians. The first of two charms, depicted here, is a Lösesegen (blessing of loose-letting) describing how Idisen (the word is clearly related to the Norse dísir, and some scholars think that the Idisen are roughly equivalent to norse valkyries, based on behavior. The existance of the German word Walküre(n) does not preclude this; as it is simply a later borrowing from Old Norse) freed captured warriors during battle. Like most spells recovered from the period, the incantation consists of a short reference to magic performed in the past, and then an invocation for the effect to repeat itself (as it was then, so shall it be now). Following is the text in Old High German, and then translations into modern German and English. If you want to read this aloud, remember that <z> and <uu> are pronounced as [ts] and [w], respectively. Eiris sazun idisi, Sazun hera duoder; Suma hapt heptidun, Suma heri lezidun, Suma clubodun umbi cuoniouuidi: Insprinc haptbandun, inuar uigandum! Einstmals setzen sich Idisen; sie setzten sich hierhin und dorthin. Einige hefteten, andere hemmten das Heer, andere nesteln an festen Fesseln: Entspringt den Banden, entweicht den Feinden! Once sat Idisen/dísir here and there. Some fastened bonds, some impeded an army, some unraveled fetters: Escape now these bonds! Flee from the enemy! More info to come in later posts! DM for info on sources :)
