Making better progress now on chapter 10, which concerns Taliesin's Dark Path. I'm reusing some parts of Neirin's experience in
The Ash Spear, but with noticeable differences. Partly this is because in an earlier chapter seven years before, Gwion (as he was then) was present at a Dark Path initiation for a young man who did not survive it. Taliesin remembers the results clearly and is afraid although not showing it, which Neirin was not. He is meeting some of the same challenges that Neirin met, but is finding other solutions to them, which is a challenge for me. I'm 2/3 through his Dark Path now, so should finish chapter 10 this week.
Cool autumn weather with frost most nights. All the ash leaves have fallen and a lot of the hackberries', but some of the elms' and of course the oak 's are still clinging on. I need to rake them up this week and get them in the recycle bin before next weekend. The remains of the tomato plants can go too. Early winter is here.
