The immortal storm is the spirit of all tempests in the universe. The storm can be physical; watering the seeds of the land, or it can be metaphysical and reside within your heart, mind or soul. The immortal storm is healing, powerful and beautiful, springing forth life in all realms.
There is life and there is destruction, there is recreation and love.
Everywhere that we look, there is something divine, around us. To limit its existence is to also limit, what is beyond that. The galaxy is expanding, as our hearts divide and multiply.
Let me take you on this journey, into another world; and perhaps you are the ship and I am the angel guiding you through the river, like the Styx, winding to the underworld. We weave inside and out, through waves of indecisions and doubt, to find out the truth.
We leave time behind us and our trail becomes trodden into the dirt’s of death and resurrection, our coffins, are the ships that sail us over the threshold of the afterworld, until the wood rots and fairies take home, inside of them. Than we sail the galaxy, like the Milky Way is the vastest ocean and we can swim through space, without practice. We can all swim these waters, as celestial beings.
I will guide you through. Below, is a mix of myths and legends, concerning storms, which are from separate cultures; the ones that I chose, is those with the most information, which I can gather and retell to you. If you feel yourself drawn towards a particular deity, I hope you further study, to find them, in the world.
