Athame (for Opening Letters) ~ A Poem

Things that fed this one?

Petrus Christus’ “Madonna of the Dry Tree” (1465). That painting is a door, goddammit.

Also, Antichrist legends and an Irish annal entry for the supernova that is now the crab nebula.

…and some other things based in devotion and personal gnosis.
