Welcome to Gaia! ::

This is what my friend and I do during the summer, and usually all other parts of the year too.

((this was the shortest, season related video that we've got, but you're welcome to look at any of our other videos that interest you C: warning: we don't care what kind of language we use XD ))

This is a true story. It didn't happen to a friend of a friend of mine but to ME.

It all happened at the beginning of the year. We were all expecting the end of winter since it was a rather calm warm winter, which was unusual for Montreal, considering we have seen much more colder winters in the past. (blame the global warming I guess)

The weather people were announcing a terrible snowstorm for the weekend. They kept telling us to brace ourselves for the whole week. None of us truly expected it to be that big but when I walked out of work, it was amazingly windy and cold.

I walked to work that day, just like any other days, so when it was time to go, I couldn't get in a car and leave (I don't drive anyway). Besides, with all the snow that was already in the streets, it would have been madness. So I lowered my head and walked until I reached my usual street that will take me to my home. Until then, I couldn't see in front of me for the wind was blowing into my face all the tiny sparkles of snow that was falling from the clouds. When I reached my street, I could finally lifted up my head and witnessed, for the first time, the strenght of the storm.

Anyone would have been mad to be stuck in that storm, whether by car of by foot. It was the biggest one we had in years! I couldn't see more than 2 feet in front of me. Tall buildings were hidden by a wall of flying snow. After a couple more minutes of walking, I stopped to actually feel the storm. The wind was twirling all around me and I was able to vaguely see, in a distance the fire station, the snowflakes dancing all around the building. I stood there, the wind in my back, my eyes watching the frenzy snow in the dim light of the streetlights. I was in the heart of the storm. And it was the most beautiful scene I've seen so far.

Once home, I was frozen. My cheeks and tights were red. I couldn't feel the front of my legs for the cold wind numbed them. And yet, I only regret the storm would pass too soon.

And finally, morning came. When I walked back to work, the streets were empty of cars. The snow was bright white and the sun was in a cloudless sky. The snow paralyzed one of the biggest city in Quebec. That day, only my snowy footsteps echoed in the streets.

That is winter for me. Fierce snowstorms that leave in the morning a shiny white coat behind. That is why it is my favorite season.

Simple, but I feel it's all I need to express my feelings for my favorite season.

The Horned One's Lament

Fleeting green.
Cooling air.
Sweetest breath has staled.

But lo a riot of colors erupts,
Soft at first barely a glimmer.
It seemed to sneak up on us.

Such beauty there is in death.
The leaves in their dying give up their hues,
As the earth prepares for sleep.

My mother and my lover,
Morn for me as I once again sink into her womb.
At Yule again shall I be born yet til then I dream.

Feast my children on the harvest
The product of your daily struggles.
I celebrate you even as I fade.

Oh how wonderful my love has become,
Graceful in her age,
My Moon maiden now aging to crone.


In wiccan mythos The horned god/God is both born from and husband to the Goddess. Just a little background for the poem, oh and he is born and dies every year.

Snow Queen

Sing, wild wind of the north
Of what lies beyond that sounding sea
The land of ice and snow
And the beautiful snow queen

Beautiful and terrible was she
As the snow on the mountain peaks
Shimmering in a dying sun
Like the silver mist glimmering

Of many silver braids was her hair
Where was placed a sparkling crown
Of moonstones and silver
And diamonds that sparkled like the stars above

Silver were the eyes that glisten beneath her brow
As chilly as unwavering as the ground beneath her feet
For ice was the land she ruled
And ice where her heart should be

Behind an ornate swan feather mask she hid herself
Yet there was nothing to hide
For she was empty within
Except for mounds of snow and blocks of ice

Harshly and coldly did she rule
No sounds of laughter were to be heard
Or smiles to be seen
For her heart had long been wrenched out and ice replacing

No one fairer than she
Could be found under ray of sun or light of moon
Yet all who loved her were scorned
Since long ago she got hurt by one and never saw love again

Here we must travel back in time
Through whirling winds and lives of men
To when this land was warm and ample
A glistening paradise

Song and laughter sounded in the grassy hills
A smile she bore on her cherry red lips
Yet darkness came and doom it brought
To this land and its beautiful queen

Lightning struck and down she came
In a crumbling heap
A bright tear on her cheek
Frozen into a drop of ice

And here she sits in her throne of ice
Darned in a raiment of white feathers
Deep hatred and contempt ever kindling
In this land of ice and snow, never to feel warmth again

And here I sit
In this warm comfy chair
Recording this sorry tale
With a mug of hot cocoa cuddled in my hands

Listening as the blizzard howls outside that pane of glass
Like the sounds of many wolves
A glint of silver catches my eyes
Nay, it cannot be, but the piercing silver eyes of the beautiful snow queen

I absolutely love the whiteness of the snow and the bitterly cold winds that cause the snow to whirl about in a blizzard(that is if I'm not in it). Anyways, hope you like it. ^^ <333
