Abstract
"Red is the colour of the deepening sky.
"Red is the colour of a newborn's cry".
The words of this familiar folk song do not speak to us of danger or fear. they do not prophesy the end of the ice the Lady gave us to rule over until She returns us to Her Bosom. No, these words provide succour from the prophesies of f secularists and scientists, who threaten those who disbelieve them with rivers of fire and lava.
