Much of the inspiration for these poems arose as a result of teaching the Celtic Myths and Deities course. There are so many Celtic deities, and each deity has so many different facets, and I love this kaleidoscopic experience of them! Hopefully, I have shared a little of that with the reader in this collection.

                                                                                    from:  Mabon
I am waist deep
in the water
sitting like a child
in a bath

when Mabon says to me
"Let me take some
of this pain away."

He drizzles water
over my arm
from a cup or a sponge
I'm not sure
It's a bit dark but
I savour the moment
arm held out
like a cormorant
 
I savour it in all its
oddness and
amidst my own doubts
Is this real?
Would I dare to
let go of the pain
if it was real?



There's more
there's always more

then Mabon says to me
in the
iron
red
copper
green
blood
salt
bone
hard
warmth of the belly
of the Mother
I was nestled

'til Her warm waters
gushed forth with me

 
I saw the sky
and felt the sun
I nourished the wild ones
became a wallow
where they soothed themselves
in muddy joy
