Rejoice this pure and sacred night
make well the feasting fare
for all around the scent of fire
be fresh upon the air
and as the earth draws in its breath
the maidens dress in white
and dance and sing amongst the flames
as if to steal their light
make well the feasting fare
for all around the scent of fire
be fresh upon the air
and as the earth draws in its breath
the maidens dress in white
and dance and sing amongst the flames
as if to steal their light
Kennaz is the symbolism of a flaming brand in the royal hall of olden times; the torch of the living fire, bright and shining. It is therefore the symbol of illumination; being the mystery of transformation and regeneration.
In the darkness, Kennaz brings light, permitting sight and is thus the bringer of knowledge --- the inner light. It is thus the bringer or starter of the fire of the hearth, the power of the forge where the material is transmuted by the will into something which reflects the human intellect, and reflects the divine harmony.
Kennaz is the mystical creation by the union and transmutation of two separate entities of a third which formerly did not exist. Kennaz channels protective energy, regenerative powers and further positive actions.
Kennaz is a fire-brand and linked to sun-cults. In a casting it denotes ability, artistry, virility and procreation. It indicates a surge of energy and new growth. It can reveal that a positive attitude pervades all dealings by the querent. It is a good omen and appertains to durability and permanence.
