Sigrid Ermine Poet Haiku

Insidious Obsidian

occult believers
                                    obtain obsidian blades
                                    volcano's black blood

   * Solidified lava which cools rapidly forms the crystal, 
     Obsidian. It's synonymous with spiritual rituals, 
     used historically by witches, carved into swords. 

     Isaac Newtown apparently has a more contemporary 
     association with Obsidian. 

     * Obsidian is described as a color in my reference book,   
        'The Secret Lives of Colour'  by Kassia St. Clair 2016
     * Black, with hint of transluscent olive green.

Gershon Wolf August 23, 2020 at 4:59 PM Sounds like 'occult' is 'a cult' to me, anyway. ~ Obsidian doorknocker Sigrid Ermine August 23, 2020 at 5:01 PM I suppose it is... Do you have a door knocker made of obsidian? It is a hard mineral, by the sounds. Could be....
