![Thine apotropaic magic is a maiden’s boon. By divine decree is thy poise accoutered with bow and arrow. The nymphs of old, blesséd be the Amnisiades of Artemis's retinue. Upon xoanon and high altar, odes to wild nature echoeth as whispers through thy dominion.](https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/412b4ca602632f1a6266616604e62dd3cac94a89384dba4382759049f8cabf1f.jpg)

Thine apotropaic magic is a maiden’s boon. By divine decree is thy poise accoutered with bow and arrow. The nymphs of old, blesséd be the Amnisiades of Artemis's retinue. Upon xoanon and high altar, odes to wild nature echoeth as whispers through thy dominion.
