So Begins the Sacrifice

Posted by on in Culture Blogs

FINEST PRE-COLUMBIAN AZTEC OBSIDIAN ...

 

Priest:

Great Stag,

our stag,

we hunger.

Father,

will you feed?

 

Horned:

Everything between

my left hand and my right

I give to you,

my beloved people.

Body and soul,

whole and all:

I give myself

to you.

 

(All pelt the Horned with grain.)

 

So begins the sacrifice.

Poet, scholar and storyteller Steven Posch was raised in the hardwood forests of western Pennsylvania by white-tailed deer. (That's the story, anyway.) He emigrated to Paganistan in 1979 and by sheer dint of personality has become one of Lake Country's foremost men-in-black. He is current keeper of the Minnesota Ooser.
