"Done is a battle on the dragon black, Our champion Christ has crushed his force; The gates of hell broke with a crack, The sign is raised of the triumphal cross, The devils keen with hideous voice, The souls are saved and to bliss can go, With blood, our ransom Christ has paid: The Lord has risen from the grave.

Defeated is Lucifer, that deadly dragon, The cruel serpent with the mortal sting; The keen old tiger, with his teeth all bared, Has lain in wait for us so long, Thinking to grip us in his claws strong; The merciful Lord willed it not so, Regarding that prey he made him fail. The Lord is risen from the grave.

He for our sake that suffered to be slain, And like a lamb in sacrifice was gi'en, Is like a lion risen up again, And like a giant raises on high; Aurora blooms, radiant and bright, Aloft the glorious Apollo ascends, From night departs the blissful day: The Lord is risen from the grave.

The great victor is risen high again, That for us to death was wounded; The sun that waxed all pale shines bright, And, darkness cleared, our faith's re-found; The knell of mercy from heaven sounds, Christians are delivered of their woe, All error is of now put straight: The Lord is risen from the grave.

The foe is chased, the battle is done, The prison broken, jailors all fled; The war is gone, confirmed is the peace, The fetters loosed and dungeon emptied, The ransom made, the prisoners redeemed; The field is won, o'ercome is the foe, Despoiled of the treasure that he stole: The Lord is risen from the grave."

— William Dunbar (transl. by Sally Read)

[all-da-ladies-luv-leoo]

this post goes out to sally fucking jackson

the woman who stayed in an abusive relationship for years to keep her son safe.

the woman who survived a minotaur attack and the underworld.

the woman who ate a primarily blue diet out of pure spite.

the woman who turned her abusive husband into a statue and sold him for a fortune.

the woman who was offered, by poseidon, a palace under the sea if she wished.

the woman who picked up a shotgun from a police car, used it against a laistrygonian giant, and when asked when she learned how to use it, responded “just now”.

a woman who, without notice, was met by a newly-human god and his twelve year old master and, without batting an eye, offered them food and clothing.

a woman who is a mother above all mothers.

i love sally jackson.

Back in Ireland for an event, and coincidentally I ended up in Dublin the day Intermezzo was released 📖 Can’t wait to get my hands on a copy, but for now I’m spending all my free time eating my favourite foods and journaling about how much I love my home country 🩵

When Sally Rooney wrote, “I am not a religious person, but I do sometimes think god made you for me.” And Emily Brontë wrote, “Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same.” And Paulo Coelho wrote, “I realised that he was my other half , created just to be with me, and I with him.”

storylines about people falling in love with gods, yes, but also the hidden meaning of people falling in love with a personified concept.

sally jackson falling for the tumultuous sea and watching it pull away from her like the tide when she bore it a son. the largest parts of the planet she lives on, once a safe place, and yet she can never seek it out again.

zagreus falling in love with death itself, slowly over time, as he dies over and over, constantly returning just to fight once more. finding peace and love and home in death, as the god of blood and life.

gale dekarios falling in love with magic, constantly feeling like there’s More and Never Enough. gale trying to complete the weave, to appease his lover, and being scorned in both regards. a wizard being punished by magic.

To Saint Joseph, Listening to a Blackbird

"For you, there will have been those wakeful nights when it seemed as though creation had not happened, or everything had already come to pass, when one bird poured out a song of liquid glass, heightening the emptiness and silence. You listened, as your wife slept, heavy and ready to break. You heard it when the child was born and grown and slept near you in a safe and hidden house. You heard the song and must have known it was the child’s that broke the vast, and unlit space between yourself and God. You did not live to see him die and resurrect. The essence of his life as you kept vigil at his bed was in this song, with its tone like silken oil, that was louder than the world, and small."

pjo chalice of the gods is "i hate to break it to you, but i think i might love you" "aw crud i was afraid of that. i love you too" // "i love you too, g-man" // "she was a superhero to me then, and she's a superhero to me now" // "im never leaving you" // "and what was i cooking for lunch?" "probably enchiladas" // "thanks for everything, g-man" // "getting noticed for being anything like my mom, though... that's a compliment." it's a book about love and nothing else, really.
