"Hail
Aethemera!"
Magick Lamp above
my head,
Shines as a beacon
bright.
North - Yggdrasil
is at my back,
East - Athame forged
in Light.
Lamen hangs upon
my chest,
Gandr - South
- Fire is the test.
Sun rides high in
azure sky,
Mead Horn in the
West.
Our swords are honed
for battle,
Loins girded with
bright mail.
The Winds of Thor
will guide our ships,
And fill our painted
sails.
Ravens aloft, Wolves
at my side,
I'll hue and flail
and brand.
Berserker till the
end of days,
Then rest my red
right hand.
Diamond Stars will
light the way,
Moon silver from
afar.
Sun shine someday
on golden shore,
Of bright Aethemera.
