Compendium of Light: Shadow Prayers 2


I arise today

From the shadows

Shadows Guide me

Shadows give me might

Shadows watch over me

Shadows to listen when i speak

Shadows to whisper and direct me

Shadows to guard me

Shadows to hide my path from my enemies

Shadows to shield me

Shadows to fight for me


The Shadows said

Come, so that I may teach you about secrets hidden

Hidden from the weak of mind, the bright of day

For there exists power untold and boundless

Whose extend no sentient has fully uncovered


In which the shadows whisper

Forgotten by the Light, it is for the strong to take.

You are the shadows

Never born, simply is.

Shadows in the beginning, in the present, in eternity

Now and always

The Shadows are the same and will not end

Their secrets are endless

And their domain will never fall

They give power to those strong enough to take it

They give strength that never fails

The magnificence of the shadows will not be ruined

Their splendor will never  dull

The shadows are present, past, and future.


Ancient shadows, wise shadows. Take all that had to end, all that will disappear and die with you into the darkness. In their absence bring me peace, bring me stillness. As the dawn comes and you fade find refuge within me.


I call on you shadows

I invoke darkness and subtle destruction

On those that have wronged me and those who seek to do me harm.

Come to me!


The Three Virtues of the Shadows.

Respect
              The universe is the physical manifestation of other’s wills. Thus, for a person to denigrate the universe is to ignore the personal power of those around them. This is not only disrespectful, it is dangerous. A follower of the Shadows must develop his personal power in order to exert his will on the universe, but seeking too much power too quickly puts him in conflict with other, stronger beings. Only a foolish follower seeks to challenge his superiors right away. Showing respect ensures a measure of self-protection.

Tenacity
              Followers of the Shadows put even greater stock in the virtue of tenacity. It may at first seem impossible for a person to change the universe when countless others seeking to do the same surround him. Through unwavering perseverance and tenacity though, they may triumph.

Power
           Power is the third virtue of the Forgotten Shadow, and the most difficult to attain. One who grabs greedily for power might encounter power too great for him or her to handle, and die in their attempt to master it. One who succumbs to despair and seeks no personal power has no reason to exist; he craves nothing, desires nothing, he sits alone and pines for his old life. The quest for power requires caution, forethought, and a subtle touch.

tyleril-silversword:

The shadows surrounds us;
The whispers of the shadows enfolds us;
The power of the shadows protects us;
The shadows watches over us.
Wherever we are, so is the shadows.


I have lived on the edge
of insanity, seeking strength
knocking on a door for ages. it opens!
I’ve been knocking from the inside! 


Compendium of Light: Prayers from the Shadows

tyleril-silversword:

Sentient beings are numberless,
I vow to free them.
Delusions are inexhaustible,
I vow to end them.
The Shadows are boundless,
I vow to explore them.
The Shadows are strength,
I vow to embody it.

~*~*~*~*~*~

Shadows mend this broken flesh
Heal this wounded soul
Shadows stitch this skin together again
As darkness soothes the soul

~*~*~*~*~*~


Those that have come to the shadows take heed,
We do not always bleed and suffer
The shadow can be kind
A shield against the harsh light.
Take succor from the shadows
You stand in the dark, do not fear it.

~*~*~*~*~*~


I spill blood in the darkness
and let the droplets fall
A gift to the shadow
Through sacrifice I learn.
