Hawk Face and Feather Maiden

Hawk Face and Feather Maiden

Hawk Face

Son of the Severed One-

scattered through the prism-door of Dark Hidden Realm

Sharp-eyed Victor over the Uncle Foe the Shunned Feral

Patron of Shaman-Kings in the Family of the Civilized

We salute the same god-friends Earth and Sky and Mind

Ascend and Descend along the Sky Path through the Earth Mouth

Your Name is Battle and Might and Youth and Rule

Your friends are Cattle and Flight and Truth and School

Wings instead of Legs and the Guardian of the freshness of childhood

Angel of the Silent Roar and watcher of Mothers

Waxing Sun of Glorious Dawn

Feet Firm and Steady Upon the Boat and the Crocodile

Fiery Glow of Unfathomable Power

Layer of Waste to Empires and Stale Destiny

Feather Maiden

Lover of Means and Knower of Hidden Truth

Examiner of the Minds and Whims of Humans

Seer of Strength and Weakness

With Sceptre and Sandal Wand

A Single Feather Balanced on End

Gateway of the Heart

Kind Daughter of Justice in the Dark World

Symbol of Enlightenment for gods and humans

Both Merciful and Harsh as a Mother Need Be

Brutal and Kind Honesty

Liberation from the Bondage of Imbalance

The Order of Nature and Heavens

Stability and Clarity that is Health of Being and Tribe

Harmony of Song and Breath

Fairer than Life itself

May heart and mouth be truly synchronized

May we be Beloved of You

Trance of Balance and subduer of restlessness

Strange guide of destiny mind

There in timeless mirror seance

Shadow of a Feather in candlelight as priest and priestess whisper

Simple and Unfettered May we Be
