introducing JUNIPER'S DAUGHTER by Nick Armbrister

Juniper’s Daughter

   Juniper’s Daughter was born out of the primeval fires that formed Planet Earth before all life existed; she was as old as time itself and gained such understandings of life, death and rebirth from the beginning of her existence. She was born from her Mother Juniper who existed from a time even before her daughter, before the stars were born, from the time before when there was only blackness. At first nothing existed, in the aeons before the Big Bang. After this, energy fields formed and matter came into existence, nothing more than atoms grouped together. Infinitely slowly they formed something that was more than nothing. Over time stars formed with their accompanying planets, huge balls of swirling gas took shape, forming, cooling and gaining an atmosphere of gas – evil noxious clouds of dangerous chemicals. In this mix something more happened, chemical reactions gave birth to something more than a reaction, something occurred, early magic occurred and life was born. This was one aspect of Juniper’s Daughter; she had no body or sex just an existence, an energy pattern coming into focus just as her Mother had done at an earlier time. Her role was to look after the new world being created, what was to become Planet Earth, out of the darkness came life and Juniper’s Daughter was an extension of Juniper, who herself had kept the darkness at bay. When the lava cooled and the nasty atmosphere of base gases changed, early life came into being; over billions of years a planet became green and blue and the miracle of being in the right place at the right time. Any further from the Sun and the planet would be an icy ball, any nearer, a scorched cinder.
   As life became more advanced Juniper’s Daughter worked in conjunction with humankind, for she was an extension Mother Nature (who was Juniper, her mother), all powerful and giver of life. Humankind became greedier using and abusing the planet and themselves; Juniper’s Daughter had to step in so many times to try to help and guide people to keep away from the Devil’s path, for he was the mortal enemy of everything that she represented. He was death, evil, manipulation, murder, killing, rape, violence, war and a hundred other bad things of varying degrees. She was life, rebirth, forgiveness, hope, love and so many more in equal opposite to Him, Satan.
   Juniper’s Daughter had lived many times before since early people walked the earth, she had been killed and murdered and committed suicide more times that she would have liked. This was part of her role as a supreme being who walked the earth striving to stop evil and keep the balance amongst all things. She was skilled in negotiations to stop violence, had excellent magical powers, she was connected to her folk memory of her past selves to delve into the knowledge and power to deal with any situation. She was a dangerous fighter and had a capability to show no mercy when this was needed, when confronting soldiers of the Devil who knew they were committing evil acts. She would strike these down if she had no other option, if there was no chance of negotiation or if she was in mortal danger. Over the years and lifetimes her skills grew, she was reborn at random times after her death, many of these lives were over quickly and in others she didn’t have enough time. Yet she never gave up and always continued her work, her sole calling before her own personal gratification and happiness.
   As a lover she knew no competition, she was the best there was and men of all ages and faiths and jobs wanted her, a few were lucky enough too, even with women Juniper’s Daughter was of great experience. Having an open mind was one of her positive points along with being loving, caring, kind and compassionate, she was not the evil one, she was life, death, birth and rebirth; she was everything.
   In human form she was now on earth again doing her work and her Mother’s wishes, helping the needy and the wretched, stopping evil and the Devil doing his dastardly deeds. She was always busy but never unhappy, often sad over the wickedness of Mankind’s actions when he waged war and killed for no reason, she was happy when a new baby was born and when a tree came into bloom. She was celebrated in poetry and song and verse and in literature and in magic, she was never ending without beginning, she was Juniper’s Daughter who had lived a thousand, a million times before and would do so again.
   Now she was blond and had stunning blue eyes like a mountain pool, deep and full of life and secrets and hidden mystery waiting to be found. Every man wanted to be her lover, quite a few were honoured to be and then there were the women. She was a celebratory not wanting the fame but just to work and be creative, an opposite of being destructive. She did her best and had done so much before now, this moment in time. But she could remember everything as if it was yesterday, for hers was a folk memory connected to herself and her past lives and her sisters and her Mother. She needed all of her skills to stop the Devil and his actions of taking over the weak minds of men and their fragile world, turning it into ashes and darkness. Yet she knew everything was in a cycle and she would only be successful for so long, that light would only shine for a short time before darkness came and snuffed it out like a million lives in a single breath. She was a warrior when the situation demanded and had killed thousands of people, in battle to preserve herself and to protect her minions and subjects – the innocent from tyranny and oppression and communism. Also, she was able to end the life or the mortally wounded by giving mercy, a swift passage to the other side and into eternal peace. This was the bit of the job she didn’t like but it was a necessary act to do, she did this without hesitation overcoming her personal feelings instantly.
