Our Queen reigns:
Bedecked in Venusian shrouds,
Clutching at the twisting trident serpent,
A mad frenzy overcomes her –
She is the one at the site of creation,
She is the one who rains destruction,
She is the breather of life;
Our Lady of Desire –
She is love’s inspiration,
She is humankind’s temptation,
Embody the Divine Fire,
And consume us.I compiled a {Spotify} playlist to show a little love to the Red Queen! Hope you all enjoy. ❤
Did some adding and reworking: check it out!

Those who live for the dead, live not;
Those who die for naught, rest uneasy;
Those who live must die to sleep,
And those already dead do not dream
“Faeries, come take me out of this dull world,
For I would ride with you upon the wind,
Run on the top of the dishevelled tide,
And dance upon the mountains like a flame.”

Hymn of the Black Swamp
“I told you, boy, you ain’t to go to Black Swamp – nothin’ good could ever come of it… That black water runs with blood – and if you ain’t careful, it’ll be yours.” // "My grandaddy always said that they was witches up’on’na mountain and down in them sticks is where they’da work they magic. Up’ntil fitty years ago, them sticks was dry as a bone ‘til them witches brought wit’em that black water…“

Ushered into life – by hands of the Departed,
Within the hallowed garden – of graves and yellow roses,
The ancestral spirits testify – to the glory of her grace;
And she of seven sisters – taught the hidden ways,
To weave the bones – and to conjure from the grave,
Guided by a phantom – and a man of 77 years;
Crossed in jealousy – it is she who turned the trident
And cast it back unto her blood – sour and spoiled
Harbinger of justice – her lessons are amoral;
Lady of the Boneyard,
Lady of the Souls,
I thank you.
