The Queen of Elphame

Who is the Lady that we lift up our voices to? Who is the Great Mother that turns the wheel of nature? She is the Queen of Elphame. The Fairy Queen. The Queen of the Hollow Hills. The Queen of the Dead. Through the centuries those of the Traditional Witchcraft bent would make their prayers and supplications to gain the favour of this wonderful and frightening Matron. She who could turn the powers and grant miracles. To this day we still honor and make our prayers to she of the wee folk.

She gives us life and grants us death when we walk the crooked paths of our traditions. With her consort, the Master or Horned One, we cast our spells and bend the natural world to our will. She has been called by many names, Annis, Hecate, etc.. But through all time, she has ruled the lands of night. To see her is to know true beauty, and true terror. To honor her is to know true love and experience the dark ways of all things. She is truly great, and truly terrible. But in all the one to whom we see as the true embodiment of above and below. A true Queen.
