Dionysus

Hear the call
Hear it rumble
Feel the call
And off we tumble
Venture up
Venture out
Into the hills
Scream and shout

Io Io Evohe
Dionysus rules this day
Io Io Evohe
Dionysus holds us in sway

The madness calls
We feel its hunger
The madness howls
We are the hunter
Frenzy comes
Frenzy rises
Through the trees
Dancing blinds us

Io Io Evohe
Dionysus rules this day
Io Io Evohe
Dionysus holds us in sway

We feel him near
We feel him with us
He is here
His fingers touch us
Passions rise
Bodies writhing
He pulls us up
Ecstatic High King

Io Io Evohe
Dionysus rules this day
Io Io Evohe
Dionysus holds us in sway

Io Io Evohe
Dionysus rules this day
Io Io Evohe
Dionysus holds us in sway

Wildwood Guardians

Far seeing Horned Owl
Judge from up on high
We drink from your crescent cup
And on your wings we fly

Hail and welcome Wildwood Guardian
Hail and welcome Wildwood Guardian

Shape-shifting Cunning Fox
Laughing from the night
Help us shift ‘tween the worlds
We follow quick and bright

Hail and welcome Wildwood Guardian
Hail and welcome Wildwood Guardian

Bountiful Forest Lord
Majestic wise Stag King
Deep wisdoms they flow forth
From your antlered spring

Hail and welcome Wildwood Guardian
Hail and welcome Wildwood Guardian

Love protect and heal us
Cub and Mother Bear
Deep dwelling earthen ones
Show us that you care

Hail and welcome Wildwood Guardian
Hail and welcome Wildwood Guardian
Hail and welcome Wildwood Guardians
Hail and welcome Wildwood Guardians

[For devoking, hail and thank you Wildwood Guardian]

A Star Inside

There’s a star inside
That has long ago died
Just a big empty space that’s
Never full
No matter how hard I try
If I look low or high
I know that nothing
Ever will

I am broken
Too much that needs
To be spoken
I am shattered
Adrift all at sea
Being battered
I am empty
There’s nothing left here
To tempt me

So myself I hold
To try to beat this cold
Fanning these dead embers
For some light
And I strain to hear
If someone else is near
I speak but my words are
Never right

I am broken
Too much that needs
To be spoken
I am shattered
Adrift all at sea
Being battered
I am empty
There’s nothing left here
To tempt me

Others shine so bright
They light up this endless night
Their shining stars within
Embracing all
To be like them I yearn
But if I’m close I burn
So I sit and wish with all
Of my soul

I am broken
Too much that needs
To be spoken
I am shattered
Adrift all at sea
Being battered
I am empty
There’s nothing left here
To tempt me

And then the dark is torn
As my star is being born
I shade my eyes against this
Strange new light
What will I now behold
As my new chapter unfolds
I embrace it with wonder
And delight

No longer broken
So much to give
And I’ve spoken
No longer shattered
I navigate this sea
And I’m elated
No longer empty
So much beauty here
And it’s fed me

There’s a star inside
I feel my starlight so alive

You watch over us
Spread your warmth

With your face
Your mysteries

Sparkling eyes
Watch through the night
Guide us with your
Gypsy light
Rise Up Rise Up Rise Up

Rise Up Rise Up

Lammas Eve Lughnasadd

For Lughnasadd
For Lammas Eve
We’re standing here
With powdered sleeve
We knead this bread
This bread we knead
For Lughnasadd
For Lammas Eve

For Lammas Eve
For Lughnasadd
We’ve blessed this bread
With breath of Maat
With earth and water
Coven and hearth
For Lammas Eve
For Lughnasadd

It’s Lughnasadd
It’s Lammas Eve
And we’re all off
To Lammas Feast
With bread to share
And songs to weave
It’s Lughnasadd
It’s Lammas Eve

Footprints

I see the footprints
In the air
And know the time for you to leave
Is near

I really don’t want to
Let you go
But I can’t keep you
Here, I know

You have to go and
Chase your star
It’s blinking and shining up
There so far

How can I tell you how
Much I care
Or that I really will miss you
Being there

For I see footprints
In the air
And know the time for you to leave
Draws near

You say that it is not
Good bye
You will not forget me but
Your words lie

Without meaning to you will
Forget
That I am here, what we shared
And kept

They will fade away and
Disappear
I know that yet can’t keep
You here

For I see footprints
In the air
And know the time for you to leave
Is here

Our Lady

White Lady of the wells
Whisper to me
Healing spirit
Cleansing waters
Seeping through my skin

Red Lady, our Rose Queen
Singing softly
Songs of longing
Passions spreading
Fill my heart with love

Black Lady of the Night
Shadows linger
Hiding secrets
Black suede fingers
Combing through my soul

Our Lady Crescent Crowned
Moonlight Goddess
Shines so brightly
Ever changing
Season’s cyclic guide

Be with us
Awaken us
Help us to see
And to be all we can be

Our Lady Crescent Crowned
Our Crescent Crowned Goddess

His Challenge

Are you willing
Or will you be taken
For I am here
And I’m coming for you

Hoof and horn or teeth
Which will be forsaken
For I am here
And I’m coming for you

Look into my eyes
Such places I’ll take you
For I am here
And I’m coming for you

Walking through the woods
Will it heal or break you
For I am here
And I’m coming
For you.
