In my time I have been called many things
Tapestry wrote:
In days of old I would have been called a wise woman despite my male body. All could/ can see the years in my eyes that have come and gone. The lives I have lived, live, and will live, as well as the deaths I have suffered, go through, will have.
Over the centuries I have been many things yet I have remained the same. I look today as I did when I first was born to a human form, the first of many carnations. Of medium build and no more than 160 pounds, black eyes and hair of white. This light skinned black boy who first walked upon the lands of Egypt before she knew her name, looks like the priestess that he is. Teaching what must be taught and learning all that is needed to do my task for the gods.
Today I do the things others my age range would do to make life more fun and bearable, yet I still do ritual and devotion to the gods. I still play my didgeridoo on high peaks so that I may play for the earth and the gods in thanks and meditation. I still find a great pleasure in seducing people to share my bed and sometimes my life. I have seen far more that I care to admit and know more than I want, but as with all things… in the life of a priestess we see and act only when we must and serve to guide others by guiding ourselves that much more lovingly and with care.
"In my time I have been called many things, sister, mother wise-woman, queen, and all have been fine. However, in the end it will be the Christians who will tell my tale, so I hope all I have done will be enough to help bring my people to truth." Morgan La Fay.
These words burn in my mind for it is the fate of all who claim their heritage in a world of Christian pain. I share the darkness with many, for only then can we truly see our way in the light. Tapestry speaks.
