In the circle we unfold all the secrets we have been told.
As above, so below.
Magick spell, sacred ground, candles are all aglow.
Air, Fire, Water, Earth, and Spirit, through our being they will flow.
While we chant and while we dance, we are lost in a trance.
In our Craft we take a chance, if meant to be, let it be so.
The Witches’ Creed, the Wiccan Rede, speaks to us of love and not of greed.
Changes will come and just like the seed we are able to grow.
Harm ye none, do as ye will.
Through the summerlands
On a star-paved path
They walk
Under moonlit skies
Through a veil of tears
They watch
Days turn to weeks
turn to months and still
They wait
For that magick time
When the veil is lifted
And they can rejoin for one night
The ones they left behind
Touch a light to the little wick,
Watch it burn to the candlestick.
Study with care the little blaze;
Fortunes are told in its tiny rays.
If an unseen power makes it weak and low,
For you it foretells a tale of woe.
If that same power makes a blaze bright and healthy,
You'll be happy and wise, be good and wealthy.
Follow me children,
Through the dell,
Follow me children,
To weave a spell,
Follow me children,
The Moon is bright,
Follow me children,
Tis' Samhain Night.
Dance through the grove,
leap throughthe Air, and slip on
through the trees.
Feel the earth beneath
your feet, and the
cool grass on your knees.
Deeper and Deeper,
on into the wood,
Parents can't follow,
but they wish that they could.
To dance and to sing
and do anything
that their trapped inner
child desires.
Into a clearing, hidden
away, with treetops
so high, it'd be
night during day,
here is where the
fairies play and emerge
on Samhain Night.
A fire is lit and a
circle forms, the ritual
starts and the whole
group mourns. Their
Great One has slipped
away and henceforth,
Samhain Night.
Louder and louder the
wailing grows, when
it will stop, well, only
She knows. For She
too, mourns her King.
Lonely until what the
Solstice brings. . . . .
Here on Samhain Night.
They reach the peak
and die away, the velvet
sky shifts into gray. Now it's
almost the break of
day, on what was
Samhain Night.
They slip back into
the woods, to return
to where they'd come,
as light seeps through
the leaves, creating
a sense of unease,
of what had been
SamhainNight.
Follow me children,
It is all over,
Follow me children,
Through the green clover.
Follow me children,
The Sun does rise.
Follow me children,
Let us be wise,
For it's past,
Our Samhain Night.
Mother Maiden, Crone
I am just a Witch alone,
honoring your many phases
as my own....
Changes come and go,
tides rise and flow
as your light continues to grow,
peeking through the window as I sleep,
my dreams you safely keep,
Goddess of the Moon,
your magick fills my room,
with blessings of the womb,
moonbeams dance upon these walls,
like golden threads, spun on a loom,
Stars circle round,
like a silvery crown,
as I draw your energy down..
Many Blessings you continuously bestow
with your magickal glow,
as above... so below....
Mother, Maiden, Crone
I am just a Witch Alone....
She sees faeries
And talks to her herb garden.
And everyone laughs.
She feels colors,
And says there is magic in the moon.
And everyone laughs.
She never hurts anyone
And loves her oak tree like a child.
And everyone laughs.
She always helps a stranger
And the neighborhood strays adore her
And everyone laughs.
She sits and cries
And mumbles to the shadows,
And no one cares.
Once her hair was long and bright,
Now it is a matted mess
And no one cares.
She used to dance among the trees,
Now she can't find them
And no one cares.
Dreams of magic fill her days;
Magic she can almost touch.
And no one cares.
The day she died her herbs did, too.
And her oak tree bowed its limbs.
A single candle burned in her window
With naught there but the cats.
And no one understands...
