As the blessed Spring arrives,
Flowers such as snowdrop grow,
Deep beneath the white clean snow.
Bridie, the Maiden pure and bright
Doth sing this blessed Imbolc night
Dancing through the gardens fair
To hasten blooms everywhere
Little bells do twinkle in the morn
Her copper mirror shines with the sun,
Bringing glory to everyone!
Around the holy spring and sacred well
Bride sings Her happy tale
Of healing fine o'er hill and dale
Gathering to celebrate
We do prayer ties make
Hoping for a brighter day
Singing and dancing 'ere so gay
With the colours white, yellow, pink
Pastels do our minds make think
Of the brightness of the Spring
Light and life in everything!
Brigdhe, the Maiden of Smithcraft
Brings to us Her sacred art
Casting metal in the forge
Creating from the elements
Of fire and earth
Water and Air
Beautiful creations abound
Birds sing all around
Beginning their year of nesting time
Spring-cleaning at yours and mine!
Hare, the Spirit of the Spring
Doth gentle rebirth bring
Renewing all they touch
Free they run
Through the fields
Flying with the moon
And shining with the Sun.
Merlin doth shapeshift to hare
Spreading His magic everywhere.
Let us learn to magic make
And bring happiness in our wake.
The Eagle too brings Springtime blessings
Glory, light and spirit strong
Soaring o'er the mountains all day long
Wings spread far to hold our heart
Love to us the eagle doth impart
Teaching of guidance of the soul
Spirituality will call
To everyone both big and small
Help the eagle will always bring
To those who are ready to sing!
Thank you Great Goddess for the Spring
For light and life and everything
For joy and happiness
Flower and tree
Filling the gardens of you and me
Renewal abounds for all to find
Within the soul, body and mind
Great are the days of shining sun
The year truly has begun!
Blessed Be
