Saint Brigid’s Chant

Written for the WildWood Imbolc Ritual 2021

Saint Brigid hear me call your name
I stand before you offering this flame
Take my fear, take my sorrow, take my pain
Forge it all into something I reclaim
That I reclaim

About the chant

Elemental Circle Casting Song

Song written for the Southern Hemisphere; if using in the Northern Hemisphere swap the words North and South

Air from the East
On the morning breeze
Sun’s first rays
Fill my heart with ease

Air is sacred
We honour thee Air

Fire from the North
In the heat of the day
Sun kiss my skin
Chase my fears away

Fire is sacred
We honour thee Fire

Water from the West
As the Sun sinks low
Everything grows dim
My tears they overflow

Water is sacred
We honour thee Water

Earth from the South
Stones hold my form
Memories and dreams
Help to keep me warm

Earth is sacred
We honour thee Earth

Spirit from above and
Spirit from below
Within and without
Forever spark and glow

Spirit is sacred
We honour thee spirit

Our circle is cast
And we are between the worlds
What occurs between the worlds
Changes all the worlds

[to uncast]

Spirit from above and
Spirit from below
Within and without
Forever spark and glow

Spirit is sacred
We honour thee spirit

Earth from the South
Stones hold my form
Memories and dreams
Help to keep me warm

Earth is sacred
We honour thee Earth

Water from the West
As the Sun sinks low
Everything grows dim
My tears they overflow

Water is sacred
We honour thee Water

Fire from the North
In the heat of the day
Sun kiss my skin
Chase my fears away

Fire is sacred
We honour thee Fire

Air from the East
On the morning breeze
Sun’s first rays
Fill my heart with ease

Air is sacred
We honour thee Air

Our circle is open
But it is unbroken
Merry meet and merry part
And merry meet again

Listen to the song

Sing in the Stones

Sing in the stones
Sing in the bones
Sing in the sun and the moon
And the stars as they roam

Horns of a Stag
Horns of a Ram
Horns of a Bull
And I become what I am

The Rose and the Thorn
The Maid and Unicorn
The Flame in the Well
That created my true form

Listen to the song

Me and my Shadow

Just me and my Shadow
Walking
Like we do most everyday
Just me and my Shadow
Talking
But sometimes life
Gets in the way
And I can hear
My Shadow say

I’m a nothing
A no one
Just an empty
Waste of space
I’m never
“Enough” enough
A statue lacking grace

And when I walk
I walk alone
It’s in my chart
It’s in my tome
And when I talk
I talk alone
There’s no one here
No one home

Just me and my Shadow
Walking
Like we do most every day
Just me and my Shadow
Talking
But sometimes life
Gets in the way
And I can hear
My Shadow say

And I tell my shadow
SHUT UP!!!

Listen to the song

About the song

It’s in the shadows
Between the light and the dark
It’s in the shadows
Between the stone and the spark
It’s in the shadows
Between the Web and the Tree
It’s in the shadows
Between the bud and the seed

Waiting
Shrouded
Hidden
Clouded
Swirling and
Still
A breath away
If you will

Listen to the song

Black Dragon

There’s a black dragon
Under my feet
It’s smoke framed face
Fills my sleep
There’s a black dragon
Circling my home
There’s a black dragon
Won’t leave me alone

Walking down the ragged track
Feeling kind of dreamy
Are those eyes upon my back
I hope that they don’t see me
I drop me down into the ground
To see what I could see there
Shadowed figure large and round
I think I should not be here

There’s a black dragon
Under my feet
It’s smoke framed face
Fills my sleep
There’s a black dragon
Screaming in pain
There’s a black dragon
And he’s calling my name

Calling my name
Calling my
Name

Listen to the song

Dragon Road

A casting chant

Dragon Road, Dragon Road
Guide my way
Dragon Road, Dragon Road
From night through day
Dragon Road, Dragon Road
Bones of the Earth
Dragon Road, Dragon Road
From death through birth

Listen to the song

Sing Your Name

For WildWood beloveds

I sing your name into the web
And watch it sink within the thread
See her hands weave you anew
Over and under, around and through

I sing your name into the Wyrd
All you loved and all you feared
Shining colours flowing free
Across the land, the sky and sea

I sing your name into the Wood
The Green, the Grey, the Cloak and Hood
Watch it seed and root and grow
Be part of us and all we know

Be part of us and all we know

About the song

Beneath My Tree

And through water
I’ll walk to thee
Just to see you
Beneath my tree

And through fire
I’ll come to thee
To be with you
Beneath my tree

And through earth
I’ll crawl to thee
To meet with you
Beneath my tree

And through air
I’ll fall to thee
Always with you
Beneath my tree

And in spirit
We shall be
Heart to heart
Beneath my tree

Listen to the song

Today is a Struggle

For those days where nothing seems to go right and the only thing you can do is sing out your frustration till you feel the heaviness slide away

Today is a struggle
Like the day before and
Tomorrow I know
I will struggle through some more
Today is a struggle
Like the day before and
Tomorrow I know
I will struggle through some more

I’m so sick and tired
Of people right now
They never understand me
And twist my words somehow
I’m always treading
On their tender parts
They’re always shredding
Juicy pieces of my heart

Today is a struggle
Like the day before and
Tomorrow I know
I will struggle through some more
Today is a struggle
Like the day before and
Tomorrow I know
I will struggle through some more

I’m tired of my life
Always being on repeat
Doing over and over
The same things endlessly
Whatever I do is
Placed to one side
So that someone who’s better
Can bask in my light

Today is a struggle
Like the day before and
Tomorrow I know
I will struggle through some more
Today is a struggle
Like the day before and
Tomorrow I know
I will struggle through some more
