How the blog works

The poems on this blog are mostly written on the basis of my historical reading and are intended to be both educational and entertaining.
Recently I have also begun posting some of my work with Anglo-Saxon charms. This work is somewhat speculative and is conducted as an amateur researcher and keen Pagan historian.

Please feel free to use anything on this site as a resource if you think that it may be relevant to your needs.

Dragon's Quarters


A bit of summer fun with dragons:

Flying cockatrice guard the east,
Air dragon we doth bid thee hail.
Guard our circle with thine power,
Be with us here in our wassail.

Firedrake guard the gate to the south,
Oh great beast fortify the door.
Shield us here with thine fiery breath,
Bide with us, we doth thee implore.

Sea serpent guard the western gate,
We doth water dragon call thee.
From thine watery depths arise,
We bid thee our rite oversee.

Crouching basilisk guard the north,
Earth dragon without wings arise.
Serpent king we doth bid thee forth,
From long mists of time now arise.
