                              LUNA:
                            
                            
  I am the horn within Nal,
                            
                            
  Which pours forth the waters of Gjall.
                            
                            
  Dancers swirl around the navel that is my earth.
                            
                            
  My skeletal face is lost and found
                            
                            
  in the shadows of the moon
                            
                            
  My heart is the hole of the
                            
                            
  labyrinth.
                            
                            
  The labyrinth is the whole of my
                            
                            
  heart.
                            
                            
  The spider’s web is cast
                            
                            
  as the sun shining on water
                            
                            
  Turn, turn, turn.

                              VENUS:
                            
                            
  I am the water that encompasses all,
                            
                            
  And the life that flows through time.
                            
                            
  In my eyes,
                            
                            
  life is but one single drop
                            
                            
  Of water, cast upon my ocean.
                            
                            
  Come sail your ships upon me,
                            
                            
  And see that in me,
                            
                            
  Are all things.
                            
                            
  Four streams flow,
                            
                            
  and all life they encompass.
                            
                            
  Flow, flow, flow.
                            
                            
                              * * * 
                            
                            
                            
                            
                               
                            
                            
                              MERCURY:
                            
                            
  Maker the modir.
                            
                            
  I spoke and brought forth life.
                            
                            
  Words etched upon a lattice,
                            
                            
  I am the language of thoughts
                            
                            
  and birds.
                            
                            
  Crystalline in the mind,
                            
                            
  Mercurial in the dark.
                            
                            
  I am the soul of poets,
                            
                            
  The lover of dawn,
                            
                            
  and the wolfen brood
                            
                            
  Rune, rune, rune.

  Svarte Sol er landa ljome,
                            
                            
  I am the light of all worlds.
                            
                            
  The black behind the gold
                            
                            
  In disks thrown up from the void
                            
                            
  am I seen,
                            
                            
  And in them is the void glimpsed
                            
                            
  From the centre to the edge,
                            
                            
  My form appears,
                            
                            
  Shot through with the black light
                            
                            
  of hel,
                            
                            
  Stars unto infinity.
                            
                            
  Eternity under the star
                            
                            
  Turn, turn, turn.

  Trees and leaves and birds of fire.
                            
                            
  Mine are the arms that spread
                            
                            
  through all nine worlds.
                            
                            
  The pulse of life runs through me,
                            
                            
  As I run through it.
                            
                            
  From heaven to hel
                            
                            
  From hel to heaven
                            
                            
  Of and within both worlds.

  In one seed is every tree.

  I am the blood of the sword,
                            
                            
  And the blood of the womb.
                            
                            
  Into me enter all souls,

  My ribs are the bones of the world,
                            
                            
  Bones as purest crystal,
                            
                            
  The colour of spirit
                            
                            
  When flesh decays away,
                            
                            
  Only I remain.

  Drown, drown, drown.

  The base is connected to the crown.  
  The link is as an eight  
  I am to be found beyond the eyes of  
  human kind  
  And in the magisterial spread of  
  the heavens.  
  Equations; calculations; theories,  
  All fail when faced with my enormity.  
  I am the unseen order of chaos.  
  I am the quickening of the soul.  
  The dragon, coiled round my tree,  
  Like the charge from base to crown,  
  All colours, all senses, all lives,  
  all thoughts.  
  The link is as an eight.
