NaPoWriMo Day #2: Honour thy Gods and Goddesses

Day #2 of NaPoWriMo brings the prompt of non Greco-Roman mythology, which is something I am familiar with, but know less of than Greek or Roman. I follow a personal path with the Irish/Celtic deities so I found the Tuatha De Danann, the people (gods/goddesses of Danu). Danu is much like the Mother-of-All, Mother Nature, Hera, etc.

I am awfully fond of yuletide and the rebirth of the Sun God of Celtic origins. Some the image of the Tuatha De Danann sitting down to a yule feast to honour one of theirs' birth is a lovely image. I hope you like it, Dear Readers.

Solstice Feast with Tuatha De Danann

Morrigan - The Goddess of Battle, Strife, and Sovereignty

Set the table in finery,

the likes that the world has never seen.

Golden chalices,

filled to brimming with--

Ambrosia and Nectar.

The Gods are dining tonight!

Upon crystalline plates,

the most luxurious of feasts--

Marzipan and Golden Pheasant.

The smells are overpowering

and one has to only lick their lips.

The Goddesses are dining tonight!

Within my dreams I can see the mighty ones--

The Tuatha De Danann

sitting down to feast;

Mighty Dagda and King Lugh

and the fierce Lady Morrigan,

they beckon to me to join.

It’s a rare treat to be invited,

Do I go?

Do I stay?

At their table

upon thine Sabbat,

the eve of the Yule

when the world is but borne anew.

The Sun God,

 we feast on his honour

and thus are half out of the Dark.
