Carman

In Irish mythology, Carman or Carmun was a warrior-woman and sorceress from Athens who tried to invade Ireland in the days of the Tuatha Dé Danann, along with her three sons, Dub ("black"), Dother ("evil") and Dian ("violence"). She used her magical powers to destroy all the fruit of Ireland.

Four of the Tuatha Dé Danann, Crichinbel, Lug, Bé Chuille and Aoi, challenged Carman and her sons. The sons were forced to leave Ireland, and Carman was imprisoned. She died of longing and was buried in Wexford among oak trees. Her grave was dug by Bres. The place she was buried was called Carman after her, and the Tuatha Dé Danann are said to have instituted an Óenach Carmán, or Festival of Carmán. Celtic historian Peter Berresford Ellis describes her as "a goddess who came to Ireland from Athens with her three ferocious sons—Calma (Valiant), Dubh (Black) and Olc (Evil). They laid Ireland to waste but were eventually overcome by the Tuatha Dé Danaan. Carmán died of grief and it is recorded that death ‘came upon her in an ungentle shape’. She was subsequently remembered in Leinster by a Festival of Carmán held at Lughnasad, 1 August."

    A Witch's Invitation

    by: Carman

    One peaceful afternoon
    I picked up from my mailbox
    The strangest looking letter I'd ever seen
    A chilling little envelope
    Bordered with flying bats and eerie serpents
    Whose eyes were tinted green
    That letter was addressed to me
    So as I opened it, I froze
    What I read turned my complexion three shades of blue
    It said, "my name is Isaac Horowitz
    I'm a male witch, a warlock
    And I feel I need to spend some time with you."
    Now, as a Christian from a little church
    With God's call on my life,
    A man of faith and power, with a challenge to grow
    I did what any saint would do
    In my situation
    I tore it up said, "Lord, no way I'm gonna go."
    Then gently and methodically the Holy Spirit spoke
    And reminded me, we're God's voice to our nation
    It's the church's responsibility to witness
    So reluctantly I accepted this...
    Witch's invitation
    He had the house you'd expect
    The old english cottage
    A nightmare on Elm street special right to the core
    The overgrown ivy,
    The gate that creaked when opened
    Somehow you'd expect Freddy to answer this door
    The doorbell rang the hollow gong,
    The knob twisted, then opened
    Then Isaac stood before me with a grin
    His jet black hair and well-trimmed beard
    Flowed with his black silk clothes
    My skin crawled as he said,
    "Please..come on in"
    His house was filled
    With every occultic symbol you could fathom
    Hanging pentagrams and horoscope signs,
    A Ouija board and dungeons and dragons game
    Set on the table
    A crystal ball with an incandescent shine
    Then graciously he handed me some steaming herbal tea
    It's prescence caused my memory to jog
    I thought of every horror flick I'd seen
    When I was a kid and thought:
    "You drink this stuff, next day you'll be a frog"
    Then he led me to a high-backed chair
    As he meticulously began to unfold his scenario
    With evil patience
    I was given a giant leather-bound book
    Jammed with newspaper clippings
    Thus the reason for this...
    Witch's invitation
    With eagerness he pointed to each article with pride
    He said,
    "I healed this woman through a Babylonian chant
    See this man? I cured him
    While performing druid worship
    I was paid to curse this man with AIDS, by his aunt"
    On and on, page after page,
    Delightfully he flaunted each incident for an hour
    Without a breath
    He said, "do you realize through my understanding of the dark regions that I can make you rich?
    Or even curse someone to death?"
    I sat literally intimidated
    by the immensity in demon power,
    while his face shown with a Satanic arrogant bliss.
    Then placing his hands on the arms of my chair
    He said, "what can your God do to compare with this?"
    I knew then how Moses felt,
    How when his rod turned to a serpent
    And the three magicians' did the same.
    It's as if you're sitting there
    In that stunned moment while your faith gets violated
    And all you feel is weak, powerless and lame
    I desperately and deeply prayed
    Saying, "Jesus give me wisdom
    I don't wanna put you through some foolish test."
    Then a shaft of light shot through my soul
    Lighting my eyes with fire
    God stood me up, and I threw the book back in his chest
    I said, "Isaac,
    I'll not compare God's miracles versus Satan's
    The issue's not God's kingdom in Satan's lair,
    The real comparison is the condition of your soul
    And the condition of mine,
    and you puppet of the devil that I will compare.
    My friend, one day they're coming for you
    The soft associates in your incantations
    The friendly demons you think you now control
    The time will come when you'll be lying in bed
    Wheezing like a dying animal,
    and those spirits lay claim
    To the rights they own to your soul.
    Then the room will grow dark,
    And the most hideous faces you ever saw
    Will come flaming out of the floor with a yell
    The vile informants that promised reincarnation
    Will claw your spirit and victoriously
    Drag your soul to Hell."
    Then I grabbed the book and said,
    "In that moment,
    Which mantra, which incantation you gonna chant
    To tell them to leave you alone?
    My friend,
    I know beyond a shadow of a doubt what I would say...
    I am bought with the blood of Jesus, let me go!"
    I said, "Isaac, when you tossed that book in my lap,
    You glowed with a sinister victory
    You rejoiced when you saw your name in black & white
    Now I rejoice,
    But not that your cousel of demons
    Are subject to Jesus,
    But that my name is written
    In the lamb's book of life!"
    Then Isaac jumped up from his chair and screamed,
    "You must leave now!"
    I said, "I will, but one last obligation.
    Next time think twice
    Before you rumble with a man of God.
    And by the way, thanks for your, uh...
