Under and over I move through the trees.
In light or darkness I move as I please.
At one with the Earth
The bosom of my Birth
Life without toils
Food by fang or coils
Basking in the sun
A life of leisure and fun
Magic
Yig Growth
The Smallest strand of DNA
Circles Spirals, Expands Each Day
Just as a seed Planted in the Earth
Is required of the Largest Redwood’s Birth
I myself have Grown
From a child, moving into the Unknown
Now as a Man I stand before Thee
Both my mind and Body I wish to set free
Great Yig I hear you Calling
Seeking your essence I should never be Stalling
Overcome my Trails
Live through and receive Smiles
I seek to be Better than Before
Increase my skills and be a Warrior
So please aid me in my Quest
So I can be a servant who is at his best
Yig Leadership
Snaking through the History of the world I never Cease
Warrior of Life the souls of evil I Release
Only when nature is free, will I find Peace
I journey forth as a Leader this Day
Over all living things I hold Sway
No worthy blow shall I Stay
Humans are the takers yet givers of Life
It is up to us to protect the Earth from damaging Strife
For machines and Pollution cut like a Knife
Mighty Yig I seek to do your Bidding
Lead others against those who are so Unforgiving
We wish to cease the eternal Building
Taking to battle I led in the Front
Fighting, winning, pulling off every Stunt
Protecting all life from the mighty to the lowest Runt
With Weapon in Hand
We protect the Land
Leaving our enemy’s blood on the Sand
All Battles need a Leader
This one is far from Meager
To lead against your enemies I am Always Eager
So he my Plea
Send your Blessings Over Me
So that one day this Planet shall be Free

Yig’s Animals
I wish to one with the Forest
and feel the Animals scampering over Us
On the Earth, in the air or Sea
The Woods always Beckon to Me
Yig Allfather, Feathered serpent, Snake
We fight for the Earth for its own Sake
Creatures of the Earth Deserve their Life
Followers of Yig, pledge to protect them from Strife
Animals also Surround me at Home
Please bless these as well for hard to them is impossible to Condone
All animals we wish to save and Protect
All things from Whales to the smallest Insect
They are our friends and love us in their own Way
Fight for animal freedom, each and every Day
For who are we to claim to be Above
When they put forth such primal Love
We were born with a Purpose
Save the world and protect the Forest
Animals need not be Alone
There are protected by heroes like Alex Bone
Environments crash and things are Hard
But need to save both the wilderness and our own back Yard
Thoughtless Humans we will be no Longer
We continue to fight, helping the world grow Stronger
Yig’s Motivation Spell
The Earth Flexes under Me
Holding the Soul of all I See
Warrior of the Earth am I
From the bosom of the darkest cave, to the Sky
.
.
This day I seek to go forth
Like all living things, I seek to be whole
I strive toward my goal, as a warrior
Building in Strength
Completing my destiny
To be living, is to Create and explore
I wish to leave a positive mark on my world
I shall not slack or sloth, until I have done so
.
.
Hand full of sword
I seek my reward
It may be hard, but I shall not shirk
For the future I work
.
.
Yig’s Warrior of the Earth
As have so many that have come Before
I embrace the ways of the Warrior
I pledge myself to you Yig, as do Gwar
For a servant of the Earth, I do myself Swear
Destroying the planet I will Forbear
Those that do, had best Beware
.
At work, at home, or in Play
I follow the cause of the Earth as I May
Focus to move it towards core of perfection and correct discordic Sway
This world has given me Birth
I repay the debt, fighting for my Earth
Seeking to prove my own Worth
There are those who seek to harm and Destroy
They are whom I seek to annihilate and Annoy
With the life of the planet I will not let them Toy
The Earth is Alive
Only with its blessing do we Survive
For my home I will always Strive
Any enemy that comes before Me
Will be forced to face a harsh Reality
For from my quest I shall not flee
With Axe, Dagger, and Sword
We seek our Reward
Now it if the thick forest I move Toward.

Yig in an Egg Shell
What is Yig? Where did it come from? Why am I writing about it or better yet, why do I consider it the primary deity in my heroic pantheon?
First off, I should back up a little. Why the use of the word Yig? Yig was originally the name given to the malign serpent god as it was defined by HP Lovecraft. So why would I use this obviously factious term/name when there are so many serpent deities that have existed in the myths of real races. I could have picked anything from Quezecouthl to the Norse world serpent, Jörmungandr
Yig has been my choice for the All-Father serpent for many reasons. First, it has a primal ring to it. A basic symbol. Something you could imagine being formed by a non-human mouth. Also since it had no association to any specific culture or anything ‘real,’ I can see fit to use it as I like and incorporate it into the universal earth-serpent archetype as I will.
The serpent is a culturally universal image. Like it or hate it, the snake plays some type of role in the mythology of nearly every group of humans on the planet. From the bible to the Norse world serpent and from Hermes’ Caduceus to Mayan lore, the serpent plays an important rule in human evolution and how they comprehend the world we live in. For the ease of dialog, these serpent archetypes fall under the name Yig and give us a strong starting point for understanding the massage they convey.
Which brings up a unique feature of the serpent in mythology. Unlike most other animals and archetypes, the snake can be both good and evil, harmful or beneficial. Like the snakes ringing the Caduceus or the Double Helix, snakes often represent the duality of the universe. Like their bodies, they are the hill of the bell curve representing both sides as well as everything in between.
Yet in our paradigm, Yig stays consistent as well. He represents the male aspect of nature. He is life and the survival of the fittest. If the female is creation, Yig is destruction. Life that exists by taking life. But he is more than that. His is the wisdom of the forest, the strength of natural things, the freedom of the open spaces. Like a snake, he is the sperm that triggers life and all that comes with it.
Despite his duality, Yig stands for many ideals. Life being one of them. Plant, animal, the Earth itself. The finite versus the infinitive. This concept is most obviously represented by the difference between the small regions where life exists as opposed to the endless lifeless voids of cold space.
Yig protects his planet and al that live upon it and rejects the mindless void, the cold null of the endless empty. He makes the is out of the nothing, which in the end is the most amazing thing… existence despite the impossibility of it.

Vanessa as The World Slips In Chaos
Incense mixed with the clinging smell of sage. Smoke lingered in the room almost strong enough to make Vanessa’s eyes water, but she stayed focused. Her ritual was near its completion. She lit her eighth candle and then said her prayer for an Earth Blessing to occur.
I am a Child of the Earth
Let Nature Embrace Me
I live as an Animal
Let the Beasts Embrace me
I am at one with the Forests
Let the Plants Embrace Me
I am a Child of the Sun
Let the Light Embrace Me
I Feel the Freedom of the Bird
Let the Winds Embrace Me
My heart burns with the Fire of the Making
Let the Flame Embrace Me
I Come From the Water
Let the Rivers Embrace Me
I am as one with the Desert
Let the Sands Embrace Me
She had no unrealistic expectation for the short spell’s success. Her only goal was to get her garden growing early so it would get a jump start on the short growing session once it warmed up enough. When you lived in the San Juan Mountains of southwestern Colorado the growing season remained short indeed.
With the main part of her spell complete, she stood up to prepare to begin her Lesser Banishing Ritual. She froze when a soft humming radiated from the small alter of candles and incense she’d created. Before she had processed what could be happening, the humming grew in volume. Soon the very air vibrated like she was on an airplane during a hurricane.
The eight tongues of incense began to curl together. At first she thought they might be forming a lightning bolt, which had stayed a symbol of Hecate throughout the millennia. Then she wanted to slap herself. Here was the first real supernatural thing that had worked—the first she’d seen, and she idly speculated on its meaning when she should be fainting or curling up in a ball crying in terror.
Shaking her head, she dispelled such notions. This was a gift a… the incense moved and changed its form. Looking like lightning no longer, it became an elongated snake before her eyes. Grey and moving, it danced before her vision. Drawing her in, she allowed herself to become mesmerized in its serpentine movements.
Then, without warning, the serpent of smoke exploded sending wisps of grey into her eyes. Visions flashed and burned through her mind. She saw horrible things. Cities tumbled into the sea while other structures rose from it. Humanity crumbled as waves of death from both natural forces as well as unidentifiable creatures plowed through mankind.
A fear gripped her like nothing she had ever even come close to experiencing. She froze as more visions twisted before her and threatened to drive her over the brink of sanity. Just as she wondered if they would ever cease, the visions began to slow.
An eight pointed start materialized and on each point was a wavering face. She noticed two things before this last image faded. There was only one female face and it was hers.
