about

Taoist Sorcerers were able to harness the powers of nature in their own bodies and express this power thru occult martial arts, divination, ritual magick and communion with the dead. Swords were used as a focusing tool in such rituals, and the herb Artemisia was used to heighten the senses and internal power.

lyrics

Trodden down the paths enclaved in dark green,
Dreaming of unknown.
Cherishing the growth, a vehicle unseen.
Fueled be wind and stone.

I shall ascend from this world!

Sow the bitter root the libations set free,
Priming the soul for flight.
Charging of the blade for apsaras to heed,
Sword of moonless night.

Tearing a hole in the fabric of illusory consciousness, the mountain comes alive.

I float high above this waning world.
My head hangs from a thread, celestial, grounded by the shining herb.

Suspended between two worlds I fathom leaving this earth behind.

Savoring verdant majesty,
Gates are opening inside,
Born of grande artemisia,
To ride the elixir to the other side.

This waking lifes a dream.
Drop by drop the louche forms it's seam.
Infinitely upward flows the stream.

Eyes, they stare into the soul.
On the path, immortals ages old chant as I vanish........
........untold.
