Hymn For Quetzalcoatl
Come Toltec Pharaoh
Arrive and take your place
Among the figureheads of destiny
Apply your bird's-eye-view
To reinterpret history
All learning is remembering
How to reconcile the Real
Unto an Ideal
Uniting Physics & Metaphysics
In that transcendental matrimony
Foretold by William Blake
And attained through Tantric alchemy
When Apollo melds into Dionysus
Odin rejoins his blood brother Loki
And Shiva is as one with Shakti
Then the Feathered Serpent can't be far off
Accompanied by his dark, bloodthirsty twin
Tezcatlipoca; smoking mirror
So come now Toltec Pharaoh
Descended from Atlantis
Born to wield
Jaguar's brutal strength
In perfect balance with
Eagle's atemporal vision
Your people await ...
Your people await ...
Minor Arcana: Ace of Swords (Quetzalcoatl is an aerial deity after all).

Wonderfully grand and inspiring, a rich invocation. I admire how you interweave the myths of several cultures. The Aztec imagery is beautiful, 'the smoking mirror'..read this to my son, Owen, who has just been commissioned to paint a quetzal bird. very inspiring!

Thank you Claire, I really appreciate that. I saw many Quetzal birds up close when I was last in Costa Rica - they are fantastic creatures and it is no wonder that the ancient Mayans used their feathers as a form of currency. Would like to see the painting when it is done!
