Bull

Solar sense, strength,

Kingly power; horns its bow,

Shooting its sunbeams…

Lunar symbol when

Ridden by the Moon Goddess,

The bringer of rain…

All fecundity,

Sacrifice, chastity and

Masculine patience…

Impetuous fire

When contradicted;

Guardian of the maze!

Deceived by Ariadne

Whose passion for Theseus

Was not rewarded;

Haunted by dreams and

Revelations; the slaying

Of her half brother,

The Minotaur, the

Cause of her abandonment

On the island of Naxos;

Dionysus was there

To pledge his love; her diadem,

A constellation!
