~Witchcraft~ (Free verse) by Lenore
A blinding moon forsaking her light challenged the clouds to weep for night A scented wind wafting lavender air blew through the locks of fire lit hair A deep slow rhythm from a lonely drum carried the call of a chanted hum A shadow caressed the blessed ground the hallowed plot that she had found A silver blade on stone at rest the circled star upon her breast A censor smolders sacred weeds the book unveiled proclaims her needs A cup and cauldron hold their fill the quarters called they'll tend her will A circle drawn around this place Magic made in sacred space A bell rings forth the summoned wraith yet merely tolls for another's faith A sight for amber enchanted eyes the salt ensures the vision dies A Theban script with which she writes has been transmuted and taken flight A spell well cast its energy grounded the power sent and intent well founded A libation poured upon the Earth a payment promised for rebirth A Witch alone among the wood raises now, her darkly hood

Up the ladder: The Drunkest ever
Down the ladder: Juno's Peacock

Chasing down forgotten times. Women star through chrystal eyes. Wart of toad and Druid hymns. Seek your spells amongst the wise. Walk the path of the grey. Cabalah
nights. Enochian days.Please refill my taco bell tray

hi , i'm sure this works as a spell but the rhythm and rhymed form tries to hurry me urgently along while i need to linger on the images .... found that a bit unsettling . but created a nice picture at the end

I'd like to think that was intentional on the part of the writer. That dissonance is one of the things I appreciated about the poem.

I suggest: A scented wind wafting, embrowning the air / blew through the cheeks of soiled dispair
