The Dreaming Root – Crow Mother 🌑
From root to wing she dreams the world into being —
branches of memory, rivers of thought, crows that carry the soul’s remembrance through the dark and back to dawn.

She is the ancient one who breathes between worlds, whose roots hold the bones of time and whose branches whisper of rebirth.
The Crow Mother speaks through wind and shadow, through the rustle of leaves and the turning of night to light.

“From root to wing she dreams the world,
where breath becomes branch,
and memory takes feathered form.
Crow Mother of the deep within,
weaver of night’s remembering,
speak through the black feathers of thought,
that I may recall what the soul once knew.”

A4 fine art print on cotton rag paper — for those who walk the dreaming path and remember the voice of the trees.

Your name is lost,
but your magick lives in the marrow.
I know not how to find your grave,
my heathen grandmother,
but your recipes, prayers, and poetry
are buried in my bones.
Tonight, I am your shrine.
I cast this spell for me, for you,
and for the children
who will speak such prayers to me
long after my flesh has become food,
long after these words are covered in moss.
