The Stag King by Angie Livingston

Introduction

This is my twenty-fifth piece inspired by Angie Linvingstone's amazing artwork. You can find her on Facebook on the link below.

These are words inspired by her wonderful work.

The music is "The Stag & Sickle" (Old English) by Madelgarde

The Stag King

"All Bow Down To The Stag King"

That was the call from all who knew when The Stag King returned.

Majestically Stately between two standing stones bathed in a golden magical light. There was no doubt this was a familiar creature of some god of the Earth.

Under the moon and stars, The Stag King brings protection and care to all who live here. People and creatures feel safe and free.

They look in wonder as The Stag King takes his place between the mystical stones on the hill.

The Stag King brings light to the darkness of Old Night.

No one knows where The Stag King lives, or where he goes when he leaves, but all know that he will always be there when he is needed.

Antleres the colour of the full moon, and fur like delicately brushed argent, standing in a golden light for everyone to admire.

The Stag King's only allegiance is to Cerunnos, The Horned God, but he is there for all the creatures and people he cares for.

And that is why we hear:
