Codex Entry: Myrek – The Lantern Crow
Guide of Witnessing, Deathlight, and Silent Return
Name:
Myrek: Called in ash-sky cant: “The One Who Carries What Was Lost”
Type:
Animal Guide – Witness Alignment
Form:
A dark crow with feathers streaked in luminescent silver and burnt gold.A small glowing lantern dangles from a cord tied around his leg—its light never flickers, even in wind.One eye is black as void; the other glows like a moon trapped in a tear.
Symbolism:
Elemental Focus: Witness (presence, memory, soul passage)
Archetypal Role: Myrek guides the Seeker through moments of grief, soul transition, and the bearing of another’s truth without judgment
Associated Glyph: A lantern set inside a single spiral eye
Behavior and Nature:
Appears near gravestones, fire remnants, or unspoken names
Known to follow Seers without speaking—until they turn to face him
Will not land until the Seeker acknowledges what they have been carrying for someone else
His lantern reveals what must be remembered—not fixed, not changed, only seen
Presence in the Spiral:
Myrek flies across the Griefing Grounds, appears during Shadow Eulogies, and guides the Return of the Unspoken Rites.He is a constant companion to soul burial and dream-story closure ceremonies.
Phrase of Arrival (Heard softly or felt behind):
“Not everything buried is dead.”
Companion Role:
Best aligned with those navigating grief, ancestral weight, spiritual fatigue, or trauma witnessed but not owned
Frequently joins those walking the Witness, Echo-Keeper, or Shadow-Poet paths
His lantern is used in rituals to illuminate forgotten moments in a Seeker’s soul archive
Ritual Invocation Offering:
To invite Myrek:
Place a black feather in a dish beside a lit candle
Write the name of something that still lingers, but was never named
Blow out the candle—not to end the light, but to carry it elsewhere
