Isolde becomes involved in the Renaissance
I left the Pharoah and the land of Egypt fertile and blooming with Life and Love. Many moons I travelled, marveling at the beauty of the Land. Everywhere I went, I saw the faeries drinking their little offerings of milk and honey, the Druids crawling into caves, into the Belly of the Goddess to be reborn, as the greatest poets on Earth. The Bards would tell me great tales of their tribes. The Druids were the priestly class of the Celts, but there were women Druids also, called Ban-Draoithe. They were healers, and Shamans and often travelled between the Worlds.
So much beauty, and so much had changed. I had been called, always driven by wanderlust and following the path of the Horned God and the Goddess. Each Goddess had given me her wisdom and a piece of the Sacred Feminine. Wild animals knelt before me for a caress. I was always most at home in the primeval forest. I had felt the presence of Yggdrasil, the Tree of Life. I spent many nights with the Vikings casting runes and gathering strength from the roots, which spanned the nine Worlds.
I participated in Blota, the Viking sacrificial feast. We drank Mead and ate with the Elves and the Gods. We pray for health, and fertility and a good life. I lay with many strong, virile blonde Viking men. One wife cheered me on as her husband penetrated me with his huge spear. The Yule fire blazed high in the sky as we made Red Magick. We sadly said goodbye to the child I had conceived with him as she was borne away on a Funeral Pyre.
I followed the voice of Isis, as always. I ended up in Florence, a bustling city of great artists and writers. Philosophers in cafes argued, excitedly waving their hands in the air, discussing Plato and Aristotle. Beautiful courtesans strolled the streets with their wealthy patrons. The Medici family was eagerly promoting the success of painters, sculptors and print-makers as well as writers. A sense of excitement was in the air as new architecture came into being, much different than any had seen before.
Botticelli had painted the amazing Primavera with the beautiful visage of Venus on it, as well as her son, Eros, whom I had laid with. It gave me an eerie feeling to see that, and remember his passionate thrusts. I had had lessons in Art from Sappho and I was eager to become a Muse to the amazing artists that I saw in cafes with their canvases.
