Balam Ahau (Lord Jaguar) Mythic May Vol. 6

Balam Ahau

Mounted on horseback with arms across chest

It suddenly dawned

That Jaguar as worshipped by the Toltecs

Was an ideal.

A visionary fusion of all that is noble in ape

And feline alike.

Unmitigated ferocity plus stealthy mobility

Granted by Totemic beasts;

Unflinchingly attentive reptile, crafty coyote

Chimeric eclipsed sun

Whose illustrious wingspan brightens emblazoned

Against the moon.  

Prowling through mortality with vigilance

Every act dignified

Growling only when necessity dictates

Amidst backdrops espied

Trailing ziggurat lightning ricochets off

Edges of mind!

Hymn For Quetzalcoatl

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 ...

Minor Arcana: Ace of Swords (Quetzalcoatl is an aerial deity after all).
