I have her (she is named Indun) stop by many evenings, and tell me of Anat.
She teaches me the easiest prayers to The Bloody Goddess, Sister-Wife of the Lord, he who Rules the Storm.
She prays every day to have her blessing if a birth is to happen that day, once she missed the blessing and that week all of the women she tended grew sick and died after birth.
The prayer is simple but precise. For each of her three great deeds, cut the palm and wet a image of her with the blood, and ask for her blessing, kissing the ground benith her.
Her first deed is desending among the demons of the time before time, of the night before there was night and day, of the chaos that was the devouring mother of all things. Before she was born, when she was in her mothers womb she had already become covered in the blood of demons, and in so doing was born!
In her second deed she killed Yamm the father of the Sea, beloved of her father, she bested and inslaved 'Fire' the dog of the Gods, beloved of her father, and killed her sister 'Flame' beloved of her father. In this she showed that she needs not the love of her father.
For her third deed, when her lover the Lord, He who rules the Storms, was called to the underworld by Mot, the god of death, she was valorous in revenge, she seized Mot, split him with a sword, winnowed him with a sieve, burned him with fire, ground him with millstones and scattered the remnants to the birds.
Anat sleeps behind the sky, so as to not disturb her half-sister the sun, and makes love to her husband as he shape shifts into man and beast.
Her children are monsters, and wars, the blood red water of the rivers that brings life.
