The Blue God

***bar***

Of great importance among the deities of Feri is the Blue God, who is, in fact, not always blue. He is the consort of the Star Goddess, and the parallel of the Corn Maiden. He is called by many names:

  • Dia-na-Glas; Dian-na-Glas; Dia-ny-Glas; Dian-y-Glas = Blue or Blue-Grey God (Welsh)
    He is visualized as silvery blue or sky blue.
    My teachers have spelled it all of the above ways.
    I'd love to know the correct Welsh form.
  • Malik Taus, Melek Taus, the Peacock Angel (Yezidi)
  • Sugaar, Wing'ed Serpent (Basque)
  • the Nine Spotted Serpent in the Well
  • Living Rainbow
  • Lord of the Painted Fan
  • The True Bird of Paradise
  • the Flower King
  • the Singer in the Wood
  • the Light of the World
  • Lucifer, the Light Bringer
  • El Shaitan, Self-Fire
  • Lemba; Lembé; the Green Boy, the Gentle One
  • Tammuz (Mesopotamian)
  • Okin Oba Aye (Yoruba)
  • Hyakinthos (Greek); the Blue Boy
  • Vishnu with his Cobra; Krishna (Hindu)

He is associated with Spring, Youth, and Potency, and our personal Divine Spirit. He is sometimes called the Bird Spirit and is actually embodied in our God-Self. We send energy through our God-Self to work our magic.

For visualization purposes he is described as youthful and androgynous with the breasts of a barely adolescent girl and an erect penis. He has a light voice, like a boy's before it changes, but he is fully potent. Around his neck is a serpent and in his hair are peacock eye-feathers.

His symbol is a golden peacock with a silver star on its breast.

Meet the Blue God

You are in a forest at dawn. It is spring. The trees are a tender green, rustling gently with new leaves. Birds are beginning to sing and fly about the tree tops. You smell the fresh scent of the young plants.

Before you is a gently trickling spring, surrounded by delicate flowers. Hyacinths, narcissus, and lilies nod their heads over the pool. Breathe deeply of their sweet hypnotic fragrance.

Gaze into the rippling waters and chant repeatedly, until the presence of the Dia-na-glas manifests:

Blue God
Winged Serpent,
Living Rainbow,
Lord of the Painted Fan

Invocation to the Peacock Lord

Victor Anderson

Malik Taus,
We call to You,
our Lord of the Painted Fan,
At whose joyous cry the Sun rises in Paradise.
You, who shake Your tail,
and fill all Seven Heavens with Thunder!
Come and shine Your many-colored lights within us!
