Agni
the fire-messenger, mouth of the gods
fireAgni burns on every hearth and altar, carrying offerings upward as smoke and prayer; to dream of him is to feel an inner flame relit, one that can transform whatever you feed it and speak your longing to the sky.
Fragments
Born with two faces and seven flickering tongues, he was hidden in the waters and hunted through the reeds, for without him no gift could ever reach the gods above.
He is the first word of the oldest hymn, kindled anew each dawn, and every fire on earth is one small mouth of the same ancient, patient, all-consuming light.
