Hmm, don't get me started. The cults must have poetic lists like this to teach the young jumping mice. :)

For those a tad confused by my listing, check on the page on Odaylan Beast Charms in Storm Tribe.

A poem, you say? A distinct possibility!

Old Man Badger teaches digging
and to catch you must be Stubborn
but the men cast in his shadow,
they are grumpy, dark and dull.

In the meadows stalk Grey Rabbit
learn his ways and hunt your supper
'Ever watchful' is his gifting
though his tribe are randy ones!

Solar Eagle, high on hilltop
Climb to catch the wedge-tailed wand'rer Take his gift of 'eyes wide open'
know his ways of ancient pride.

....

John
