Paganistan: Notes from the Secret Commonwealth
In Which One Midwest Man-in-Black Confers, Converses & Otherwise Hob-Nobs with his Fellow Hob-Men (& -Women) Concerning the Sundry Ways of the Famed but Ill-Starred Tribe of Witches.
We Say That He Brought Down Fire
We say that long ago, in ages of ages, we had no Fire.
We sat that the Horned looked down from the hearth of Thunder and saw us cold, and in darkness.
We say that he stole the Fire of the Gods, and came down from Heaven like a falling star.
We say that he gave us that Fire, the Fire of the Gods.
We say that this was the First Kindling.
We say that this was the Making of us.
We say that every kindling is that First Kindling come again.
We say that every kindling is for us a Making-Anew.
We say that he brought down Fire.
We say that this was the Witch-Fire, and he the Father of Witches.
We say this. That's what we say.
