Poem
I am Lilizzi, or the spirit of fire, I am the pure essence of the flame itself, all fear and adore me. Does not every star in the heavens burn because of me? Out of all four elements, I am by far the most mysterious. Every culture has their deities to honour me by, to name a few, Norse goddess Freya, Irish goddess Brigit, Celtic goddess Aodh, Hindu goddess Agnayi, Greek goddess Hesta, Egyptian goddess Sekhmet. But of course, you all know the Egyptian god Ra? And believe me, there are just as many gods as there are goddesses. But in this male-dominated world, I felt the urge to bring attention to some of the goddesses instead. But I digress, you are not here to learn about the gods and goddesses of Lilizzi. No. You want to learn my mysteries and secrets, don't you? Well, I say, as a moth! Have you ever wondered why a moth is drawn to my flame? And not just moths, I have been known to hypnotize most humans too, have you ever wondered why that is? Okay, let me tell you a little secret then, you may find this hard to believe. Mankind's first ever form was also fire itself, but it doesn't stop there, you see, mankind's last evolutional form shall also be fire too. Full circle. So heed my advice, next time you are near an open flame or fire, study closely and meditate on its movements, shapes, forms, feed it your breath, dance with it, and know what the learned Druids of the past refer to as Headfire. They weren't known as the "Fire Fathers" for nothing. And as the Brethren of the Celtic tribes, they held four fire festivals a year, and still honour them today, they are Imbolc, Beltane, Lammas and Samhain. I don't ask for your worship, only your respect. Who else renews and promotes growth in the woods and forests? The Australian Aboriginals knew to burn back the land at the right time, and they weren't the only ones. So don't fear me, respect is all I ask. My mysteries are waiting for you to unravel. Burning brighter than ever, Lilizzi. 13~June~2017 For Create a Character contest Sponsored by: Cecelia Hopkins-Drewer
