Spells for a funeral
Jan. 29th, 2022 03:06 pmA Twitter friend tweeted a post that said "Explaining a funeral to a 5 year old. He wants to know if the priest will 'do spells.'" She said in reply, "I would hope so!"
So I wrote this:
With this spell I do create
A chalice made of feathers
To hold your grief so softly
And uplift and honor it
and with *this* spell I do create
A lantern for the light
Of memories of the deceased
Carry it home with you
And may its shining comfort you
In other news, it's still snowing, and now the wind is whirling the snow around and carving sharp edges in it and hollowing out other parts, so I'm doing what I've always wanted to do: I've put some objects in the snow--a piece of wood and a plastic sign, plus a pile of shoveled snow, and I'm going to see how the wind makes the snow flow around them. Stay tuned for pictures, eventually.
