Stir the Cauldron

The witching hour strikes

Shadows swirl at the

Crossroads of your soul

The Moon's brightly slitted eye sees all

as we listen to this Teacher's bewitching call...

 

"Curious

Halfway in this world

Halfway out

Daggers sheathed

Tail twitching and hooked

In silence I stalk my prey

bringing home gifts of

Magic

Mystery

Divine messages

tiny details oft overlooked

All brought home

like so many strays

Nine times I return

Sometimes to play

Others to wander

Lastly to share my life with yours

Tiger striped kings

Calico queens

black shadows crossing your path

full of omens, dreams, spells 

swearwords in tongues ancient and modern 

We chose you

Domesticated and subtly trained you

Silly furless milkmad kits

We will show you how it's done

Prick your ears

Listen, people

Why, we have simply been

Humming with content

Invoking your laughter with our whimsy

Keeping your domain vermin free

Our chosen chore

Curled in your lap

We will unwind your stress

Wipe away your fears

Ease heartache

Unravel knots from past lives

as easily as string from theory

Chasing cares away 

like rats from barn or pantry door

Teach you the ways of Dreamtime

To hunt your Shadowself with agility, with grace

How to travel, broomless,

through Astral doors

Become the very riddles 

you sought

You have been the treasure

all along Beloveds

hidden from yourselves

Like whiskers hide my face

behind one door or another

Let me in

Let me out

What is that all about?

Although we suppose 

the journey must be

necessary

Inconvenient, no one can argue that

least of all me

Beloved of Freya

Ambassador of Bast

Sleek and satisfied

Slumbering in the warm Sun

Dreaming of the days when I was

worshiped

adored

cosseted as divine.

Remember

We are One

You too are a piece of Divinity

Be worthy of our praise

Live clean

Pick delicately at the bones of wisdom

Fiercely independent

Meet life on your own terms.

Be mirrored in our luminous gaze"

For those new to the game, each piece in my Singing
Series focuses on a Teacher found in nature; a star, stone, animal or plant that holds lessons of Wisdom for us. Can you guess who is singing?
