Triple Moon Goddess: Stregheria
Drawing down the moon
gravity sways her red tides
surging trance-like dance
A goddess awakes
as sweet scents of vanilla
lingers on the breeze
Skyclad moon rite
silver pentacle shines in
monochrome moonlight
Stregheria spells
casting shadows on mankinds
glory, a pompous blight
Selenes night sky kiss
celestial queen, granting
invocations sight
Dianas embrace
an archetypal warrior
teacher of the craft
Hecates domain
underworld sorceress
necromancers plants
Strega made potions
Hecates botany gifted
indigo visions
A seven-day trip
three before lunar light bled
three after it set
Drawing down the moon
gravity sways her red tides
surging trance-like dance
Stregheria spells
altered consciousness blooming
in lunar gardens

“Lunar light bled” is a wonderful image.
“Stregheria spells
altered consciousness blooming
in lunar gardens”:
the stanza, like the poem, evokes the dark (“Stregheria”) and the light (“blooming”) of witchcraft.
Thank you Geri
Thank you, Gaby, always nice to see your comments. Definitely trying to work some metaphors through occult & witchcraft writing. Especially with nods to transgender aspects. Give the scientific aspects a rest this year.
