Druidic Visions

[Wolf Druid Ouity 1461]

An excerpt from the journal of Wolf Druid Ouity Deathsbane- Heirophant of the Order

 

 

And so it comes to pass that, after centuries, the Aspects commune with us in a new way. Two manner of visions now connect us to Nature. The Aspects never speak in words to the Druid- nor do they directly touch the physical world, for they ARE the physical world, and it is not the way of Nature to act outside itself. Nature remains in its true state until such a time when a Druid interacts with it, and Nature never interacts with the Druid unbidden. Indeed, all actions of Nature towards a Druid are merely a reaction to his state of oneness with Nature.

 

Following this school of thought, the Aspects have never directly communed with the Druids. All we have ever truly known from them come from the histories of our origin, and of Dreams- given to us by the Aspects in the deepest of sleep. Only in these Dreams have Druids ever truly known the Aspects as they would have us see them. They are vague, strange things, and often their messages require some unraveling. The most notable of these Dreams was, of course, the one in which the Two revealed themselves to the Druids. 

 

These new visions bespeak a new urgency of the Aspects' will. Drawn inexplicably towards a faerie ring, any Druid who answers the call is quickly rendered unconscious, and new, vivid dreams wrack his mind. These dreams are of a tone that the Aspects rarely commune to us with, and it is my belief that this manner of vision reveal to us that the Aspects deem that the matter they are communing is of a priority that does not befit a regular dream. A dream vision bespeaks wisdom, guidance, and a gentle hand, guiding the Order in some direction or another. To lay a waking Druid low with a vision is akin to a command. A driving necessity to ensure that a task is complete. 

 

In these two ways, the Aspects communicate their will- but be wary of the Spoken word claiming to be of the Aspects, for only incredibly rarely will they utter a word. Beware too of any waking phenomena. The Aspects do not use words, for words are a fabrication of the Races; nor do they write, for Nature does not know written word. Utterly false is the appearance of the Aspects in the true world, for the Aspects already exist in the true world, all around us- everywhere and nowhere. To appear in our likeness would defy nature; a paradox the Aspects themselves would never condone.

"But the true vision came to us when we walked into fairy rings, what else but our gods could give us visions in sacred ground like that?" Murmured Artimec omnipotently in response to the omnipotent excerpt.

The transient Raide of Ashford reads over the assumedly public scrawl; pale eyes squinting 'pon printed words as a smoking belvedere hangs loosely between his lips. He leans upon the bracing cane that makes up for his half-limp leg-- giving his standing form a slight tilt amidst his study. After a time, he sets the excerpt back where he found it,  only to inhale the burning fumes of his belvedere before its departure from his mouth. Smoke is blown through his mouth shortly before he rambled to himself. 

 

"When the moral veil is asunder, and truth of these machinations come to light, the disbelievers will look up to the sky and know that They were right."

 

Raide would turn to half-limp off to seek carriage to Destati shortly after his imparted words.
