If In Ruins We Must Live

Sorcerers of coal and oil,

We invoked, they came.

Never mind the prayers and praises,

Last-ditch rages, guilt and blame.

Gods as deaf as us have gathered:

Storm and flame and wind.

Now the gates of Ys are opened.

Now the ocean rushes in.



From Christopher Scott Thompson (author of Pagan Anarchism) comes a collection of mystic poetry for the punk, the rebel, the witch, and the dreamer.

In his poetic works, myth-soaked urban alleys lead to ancient ritual sites of awakening gods, while the spirits of fallen rebels whisper their secrets into the dwellers of post-apocalyptic landscapes.
