The following serves as my Julian calendar Birthday prayer/poem...

13 Lamat

 

Yellow Cosmic Star

 

Klotho*- spin your golden Thread

Upon the silver Star

At the Center of my Forehead –

 

Open wide my virgin Vein

With your New Moon

Sickle / Scythe

 

Call forth the Poetry to rise in me

Like Pegasus** from Medusa***

Wingèd – beautiful and wise.

 

 

 

*Klotho: The first of three Fates or Moirae in Greek myth; she spins the thread of life.

 

**Pegasus: A white, winged steed who sprang from the be-headed body of Medusa; patron of the Muses, goddesses of art and poetry.

 

*** Medusa: A queen of ancient Lydia whom the goddess Athena transformed into a serpent-haired Gorgon.
