This is based upon a recurring runic vision which appeared during workings in the First Door of Midgard of the Gild curriculum. Interestingly, many of the words appear to have double or even triple meanings -not always consciously realised at the time.

Icy blue

Mist reveals

A familiar gate

Hanging limp

Double edged

Hand gilded

 Cloaked in shadow

Looking

As one I saw

Before, concealing

A watery hole

With no ledge

To scale down into

Making one

 Ravenous to pay

 The ferryman’s fee

A half-ate self

Like a roped beast

With a bony horn

Dying to cast down

Spear and stain

Dribbling white spit

To come to cede

All that’s left

                                        Into a void
