Poetic Catalog

Luna of Mercury

There is quite a lot of poetry on this particular blog. This is an attempt to catalog some of it in a coherent fashion.  Given that there are over three thousand posts at the time of this cataloging (January 10, 2017) it’s likely that some will be missed, others will be mis-filed, and still others will be deleted accidentally or deliberately.

Many people come looking for the Neo-Orphic Hymns.

Others come looking for the Dodekatemoria, or twelfth-parts poems of the 144 subdivisions of the Zodiac:

  • Aries 1 – 2 – 3 – 4 – 5 – 6 – 7 – 8 – 9 – 10 – 11 – 12
  • Taurus 1 – 2 – 3 – 4 – 5 – 6 – 7 – 8 – 9 – 10 – 11 – 12
  • Gemini 1 – 2 – 3 – 4 – 5 – 6 – 7 – 8 – 9 – 10 – 11 – 12
  • Cancer 1 – 2 – 3 – 4 – 5 – 6 – 7 – 8 – 9 – 10 – 11 – 12
  • Leo 1 – 2 – 3 – 4 – 5 – 6 – 7 – 8 – 9 – 10 – 11 – 12
  • Virgo 1 – 2 – 3 – 4 – 5 – 6 – 7 – 8 – 9 – 10 – 11 – 12
  • Libra 1 – 2 – 3 – 4 – 5 – 6 – 7 – 8 – 9 – 10 – 11 – 12
  • Scorpio 1 – 2 – 3 – 4 – 5 – 6 – 7 – 8 – 9 – 10 – 11 – 12
  • Sagittarius 1 – 2 – 3 – 4 – 5 – 6 – 7 – 8 – 9 – 10 – 11 – 12 (July 2026)
  • Capricorn 1 – 2 – 3 – 4 – 5 – 6 – 7 – 8 – 9 – 10 – 11 – 12 (August 2026)
  • Aquarius 1 – 2 – 3 – 4 – 5 – 6 – 7 – 8 – 9 – 10 – 11 – 12 (September 2026)
  • Pisces 1 – 2 – 3 – 4 – 5 – 6 – 7 – 8 – 9 – 10 – 11 – 12 (October 2026)

Astrology Odes

I’m working on a poetic catalog for the fifteen Behenian Stars.  I’m more than half-way done with them, but only some of them are on the blog at the moment; the rest will come as those fixed stars come into position, I think.

Odes of Modern Myth

Looking at the list below, you might think I’d never written any other kind of poetry besides Mythological hymns to pagan deities.  It’s not precisely true, but wow, did I find a lot of them tonight.  Many of these take the form of ‘psychological mythology’, addressing the god named, and describing them to some degree, and then using their attributes and mythos to explore how we might become more appropriately attuned to that energy.
