Episode 10. Van Demonian Supernatural: Come and See!
The truth is I want to write myself away from this story. I want to move on because spring is coming. I’m sick of playing the melodies of grief, sick with the aged flavor of regret. Yet I can’t see a way out of this except through the bleeding centre of it. I try to say yes to this rushing world and let the new stories gate crash my synapses. I want to write about things that have nothing to d Read more of this blog post »
“Would you teach me, Seth?’
Seth smiled and leaned back in his seat.
‘You do realise, of course, that you have no idea what you ask of me?’ Seth replied after a moment.
‘Of course,’ Christopher replied quietly. ‘Could you tell me?’
‘No. That is the problem you see,’ Seth said. ‘Magic is something you can never prepare someone for. Magic will make you, Christopher. It will find all the secret empty places of longing in you and fill them more surely than any other love. And magic will break your heart.’ A slight, rather sad smile crossed Christopher’s face for a moment. ‘I know what you’re thinking. You think your heart is already broken, you think that this crooked and winding way is the only path left for you now. But you’re wrong. The heart breaks like every wave on the beach and there’s a darkness you’ll have to pass through that you can’t even see from where you are now.”

“They mostly congregate at crossroads, caves, bridges and of course dolmen stones. They enjoy coming to human dances, but when they appear disguised as a mortals they will always have their feet covered. Laminak often have some kind of abnormality about their feet, such as webbed feet, a cloven foot or paws. Generally speaking the laminak only come out at night and will disappear around cock's crow.”

“Mari is seen as leader of both the sorginak and the laminak who both live with her or visit her in her great cave. Mari is considered to be at the top of the Basque pantheon, and whilst she flies through the air and is seen at times as a ‘woman of fire’ she is primarily to be discovered below ground in certain caves, which is significant because it makes the Basque pantheon the only remnant European pantheon to be headed by a female spirit who is said to have her dwelling underground rather than in the sky. She is known for possessing a golden comb with which she is want to comb her beautiful hair. Significantly the Basque pantheon is the closest thing we have that is suggestive of a pre-Indo-European belief system, so it makes sense that this chthonic aspect should be unique among European polytheisms and lends further credibility to the Basque claim. It is also hard to ignore how those distinctive characteristics tie into faerie lore. Mari is not only a Goddess but a laminak herself which makes her very much a prototypical Faerie Queen. If the head of a pantheon is a faerie this gives new meaning to the term “Faerie Faith.”

“[A] man who lives alone...one day hears a knock on his door. When he answers, he sees The Tyrant outside, who asks, ‘Will you submit?’ The man says nothing. He steps aside. The Tyrant enters his home. The man serves him for years, until The Tyrant becomes sick from food poisoning and dies. The man wraps the body, takes it outside, returns to his home, closes the door behind him, and firmly answers, 'No.' (Loc. 5874)”

"Yeah?"
"It was just a snake. Humanity's first real decision was to defy God. So was mine. That's the reason I make you uncomfortable. We're so much alike.”
