Deep in wintertime

 icy glens with trees a sparkling

With wintery skeletons that have such a presence

The cold reaches every part

Light up the fires we need the warmth

Toasty by the heat

Wrapped up for sleepyheads to enjoy the warm

Tucked up tight all seems calm

Brews a'plenty warm coffee

The big yule log made of chocolate

Christmastime was full of cheer

Everyone was here

Drinks were flowing, Food so nice

Lots of sugar and spice

Lights on the tree sparkling through the hours

How to say Good day to you

Remember goodwill to all

That's what makes Christmas 

May the skeletons dance...

 As night falls at halloween

The children gather round

Gazing up to the stars

Remembering all they've known

Skeletons dance through the night

Witches cackle what a sight

Witches brew is drunk for sure

Cauldrons warming on the fire

Twinkle twinkle little star 

How I wonder what you are

Up above the sky so bright

Like a candle in the night

Halloween approaches with a bang

The bone fires sparkling in the sky

Everything on high

How much more can we give

To a world that just won't shift

Potters turn at the wheel

Spin the wheel to see the year

Cards of tarot

An Autumn of Song

Well this Autumn was an interesting and reviving one! We enjoyed a quiet time with the leaves and the trees. Here's a little dittie to enjoy Autumn:

As the leaves tumble to the floor,

Autumn dwells with us once more,

Red and brown and gold and green

Everything is still unseen

Magic is in everything

Can you see the angels sing?

Hark the herald angels sing

Glory to the new born king

Where on Earth to dwell

Jesus our Emmanuel

With a yuletide twist on this

Where will be the mistletoe kiss?

Heart and soul together again

Happy daze will be forever.

 

Lammas Picnic

The summer here, the light is bright. Partying both day and night

Warmth in the air, warmth from the ground, even warmth from the street walls

How beautiful a time and space, everything with eternal grace.

"My how the sun shines on your face!"

Blessings of warmth and harmony. Blessings bright

Music drifting on the breeze

Whether you are big or small

In summer we all stand tall

Growing up is so hard to do

However when that sky is blue, everyone celebrates life so true.

Greetings from a hidden place

"Come here with your eternal grace"

"Enjoy and be merry, the time has come, to be as one!"

 

 

 

Summer Life

Everyone gathered round

Music is the sound

People passing the time of day

Children running out to play

Sunshine pouring from the heavens

Lighting up the world

Within the light of the sun

Holds a truth so dear

The Lord beckoning on high

"Come closer my dear"

Clears the mind

Clears the soul

Helps us feel whole

Each day skips by

A new way ahead

Where people are safe

To sleep in their bed

"Gather strength my dear"

"There is much to be done"

"Three times ONE"

Beltane Dreaming

The year rolls on

Sunshine golden

The summertime ahead

All the world goes to bed

Sleeping sound

Dreaming away

Flowers and blossoms

Sweet scents

Sun streams through the windowpane

The morning has broken

Of a new day

Where the children play

Bright sunny morn

Glad tunes everywhere

Jump to it

The summer is finally here

Cocktails and beer

Sunny side up

By the pool

Them were the days!!

Hassle free youth

Today the day beckons forth

Somehow brighter than yesterday

With a tear in her eye

She says goodbye

AS the year comes round the magic beckons

Something more to do

Something more to say

Each and every little day

Springtime is always busy

Everything needs cleaning

Out with old and in with new

A little look how the pastures grew

GOod for me and you

Things to do

Imbolc reached

Imbolc, Springtime

What ere ye call

This time of year 

With green so small

Dancing out the Earth

To beckoning skies

Everyone breathing sighs

Niceites  

Yuletide beckons on

After all is said and done

The land of the living was finally ONE

We danced we sang

WE played our part

But Yuletide brings a joyful heart

Dancing children singing song

The oldies dancing all night long

Why doth winter ever feel bleak

When truly Yule is for the meek

The mirth is found in a child's little eyes

When Santa's sleigh adorns the skies

Why do reindeer come at dawn

Goodness they need a home

We like to keep our animal friends safe

We like the merriment of this seasontide

Will you believe when you do ride

In Santa's sleigh across the bay

With life for all on each new day

Help is coming, Santa's helpers are here

All the old men are on the beer

Why do children seem to hear

Because we feel the rythmic sounds

Of drums and bells and carols sung

In churches up and down the land

Everything looks bright and grand

Children do remember this night

To sleep like angels do

ONly then will Santa truly appear

When He sees the way is clear

Thank you Jesus and thank you God

Everyone can join together

To bring about some sunny weather

Each and every girl and boy

Finds that extra special toy

In their stocking on Christmas morn

As the reindeer tribes blow their horn

Halloween Last

Dancing spirits glorious rise

The dark Unicorn hits the skies

This one Mystique will protect you just

Dark yet bright with sparkle

Heed ye must

With baskets in hand

We gathered well

The blessings of the Halloween spell

Traditions a'plenty

Held so dear

Round 'ere

While we must say goodbye

The morrow comes

Samhain is nigh

The night is bright

And many sing

For all those dear departed

To gather near

Why must they come and go

OH why I do not know

But on this night remember well

We do all those we lost ago

Perhaps the burning candles tell

A story of our mournful dwell

With All Hallows Eve agon

The spirits leave 

To move back to where the veils draw close

And why they ever leave us know one knows

Thank you God and the Goddess too

For all that's beneath the sky of blue

But most of all thanks for this night

When magical beings with the Sight

Can enjoy again time with those they mourn

Can gather tight from dusk til dawn

That special evening of magic divine

That you gifted us 

Tween yours and mine

The One

The True 

Held so dear

Perhaps the Night will make it clear

Special cookies on a plate

Nooks and crannies to decorate

Life is good and life is great!

Autumntime

Autumn approaches as we look at the ripening corn

Golden light, browning leaves

"Golden Brown texture like sun"

Whether life is now or ever

We will be together

We know how life brings joy each and every day

Life kisses the skies of a new tomorrow

Where there will be no more sorrow

Where Jack Sparrow sings bottle in hand

Where light trips the fantastic

Over the golden sand

Why Lord? Why do they the enemy forsake me?

When the river burns with fire

Tomorrow will be higher

Lammas bright

That beginning comes to all who wait

Of Autumntide ahead

Slowly berries turn to black from red

Nuts begin to fall to the ground

Carefully turns the wheel

Ground to sky upon is nigh

The beautiful autumn zeal

Why do we feel so joyous now?

Because thanks to thee is right

To LOrd and Lady

To Earth and Sun

To the Moon of the Night

Thanks and praises

All are One

To Divine Good Energy

To Spirit, Earth

And the Holy One

Thanks be to thee so clear

Why so fine a cheer?

Thanks be for listening dear

Autumn gives us all a chance

To see the Grace of God

His/Her Giving Nature

All around is good

Great tidings of good natured souls

Great tidings one and all

Thank you dear Lord Jesus for

Helping Us feel small

To look up to the sky above

Is to see the world so high

Perhaps we feel a little One

Or really are we shy?

To me humanity is close

Where One and One is all

All be equal

All be light

All be good and true

Thank you great beings

For good mercy

Than you for the sky so blue

Blessings to you and you

Lovelii Litha

It's that time of year

When we give a cheer

And the Heavens open bright

People celebrate summer's peak

With peace and love and light

Sunshine in abundance

Summer in full swing

Dancing all the night through

Stars and Moon too

This blessed year we gave good thanks

We cried for sunny days

We hoped and prayed all would be well

We danced on thro the haze

Brightly shone the Moon that night

Summertime is here

Thank you Lord for being so bright

Can you hear us here?

Thank you daer Lady

For blessings true

For holding all that's near

So close to your heart

To love impart

And help us all to see

That life is good for thee

Blessed be

The Baeltane Sunrise

Looking across a moonlit sky

The world seemed everlasting

Clouds drifted across the moon

Why doth my heart feel pain

What more could there be beyond the veils

I haven't hastened a thought

A while passed by with wandering minds

Like the river's journey across the plains

Where too my love,

Where to you go?

To rivers far and wide

How blessed be the night so dear

The night of woe betide

What have you done to see the light?

Wherefore thy heart doth wander?

Do you have a focus now?

For up there yonder

Above the skies I feel my heart will follow

I realise now that somewhere along the way

My true love feels sorrow

Wherefore art thou, Romeo?

Where's that bright blue spark?

What oceans bled?

What life so red?

When will I shine?

The morrow.

AS the morning comes to pass

The light beyond the dawn

Gracious one who held so dear

My life, my Moon, my sorrow.

Light shine upon my little world

Shine greatly brighten dark

Help up to see what could really be

If you were to make a start.

Where to my love?

Where for thy tears?

How blind I have been to say?

That you are One to all I know

I am but One to May.

Ostara Equinox Springtime

As the Goddess evolves, the world delights

Days and Nights

Her touch upon this Earth

Her guide through the Universe

I believe and enjoy

I find solace in Her heart

I find joy in Her Being

Where to at this time?

Towards the Light

Of a new day!

How to find you?

In your heart I hear some say

Where art thou?

Somewhere close by

Springtime is like joy

Sunshine in abundance

The new life each year

Shoots, leaves, flowers

Daffodils heralding a new day

Faeries hearing a life so gay

Faery blessing fine!

St Brigid's dandelion shining out

Through night and day

 Across the grasslands

Through the plains

Blessed be the blossom

Fruits of summer and autumn

Let life go round!

Thank you for springtime

Thank you for Life

Thank you Goddess

For all you endow

Blessed be

The Amma Fire

With eyes so bright She wanes and smiles

Shining through the hours

The snow doth fall flake by flake

Covering all in a cloak of white

A sparkling white glittery vision

Of the world beneath

While children play 

The Earth is hidden

Dancing along so carefully

Why do you say you hear me true?

Why do you say you're there?

I wish I could but be at one

Alas my heart beware

Of bitter men

And hopeless hearts

Of twisted minds

And many hurts

Why do I cry?

Because you would!

BE happy to be blue

Be happy til you sing true

Be happy all the while

Snowflakes dancing

Shining sun

Cold wind blowing

Wrapped up warm

Snow Goddess' 

Snow Woman

Children of peace!

Thanks be to them 

While Angels sing

For bringing Us most everything

A beautiful smile

So awaits

Those who to heaven glance

Even where the Unicorn prance

Let's dance!

Gone with the Yuletide...

As the blessed wheel doth turn,

Candles of all kinds do burn,

Faeries dance upon the wing,

Angels with their harps do sing,

Yuletide brought the blessing,

Of a bright new world

A safe tomorrow

Kin and kind together,

What'ere the weather!

Thank you Lord and Lady too

For helping Us see the sky so blue

For bringing Us into the light

For the blessing of the Sight

Welcome to this long dark night!

Crackle, spark the fire glows

With logs from Oak

The strength we knows

While She burns, the fire all the more

So the Lord doth venture forth.

Thanks be to One

Thanks be to all

To creatures both great and small

Yuletide becomes a brand new year

Which fills with blessed cheer,

Let's drink a beer

Let's dance and be merry

Summer ahead of cherry.

Blessings of yule

To all and one

Somewhere is a smoking gun

Why oh why?

The angels fear to tread

Must be making for my bed!

Halloween from dusk til dawn

From dusk til dawn,

the wych do fly.

Angels watch over without prying eye.

The Lord and the Lady gather for the feast.

Where will it end, the prince or the beast?

Tricks up your sleeve

Treats in your pot

Everyone laughing

At what you've got!

Whether your Russian, American or British,

We all celebrate the night of the pumpkin

The Jack O'Lantern burning

The baby awakes,

"Mummy can I have some more hot cakes?"

Why do we do it?
Well you might ask?

For fun, for merriment.

To just have a blast.

Some say the Wheel turns on this very night,

Some say at Midnight, the dew it be bright,

Full of moonlight,

Magic, Mystery and more

Try and see

You'll be ever sure!

Welcome to the magic of the Halloween!

Springtime..

As Springtime blossoms and renews all life

So we begin to let go of trouble and strife

Our new vision of the dawn

Is one that's bright and new

The sunshine returns for all to bask

In the Sun God's glory

Warmth so fine

It dries the clothes on the washing line!!

The Sun God returneth now

We bask in His light and warm Our souls

In springtime's blessed light

However you describe the experience

It's one of pure delight!

Blessed be the light of day

The glory of new dawn

As day breaks we begin anew

To weather every storm

We gathered in the harvest last year

And now it's time to plant

Those seeds of promise

Of a new day

Of food to feed Our tribe

Of bright and beautiful flowers

Of fruit and vegetables of all kins

Welcome springtime

Thank thee dear

Ostara, Eostre

Thank you Great Lady

For this time of year

Is one I treasure still

It brings me new life

It heals ALL the strife

Of winter long time past

Of darkness

Of cold

Of days of old

For new life blossoms here

Thank thee

Thank thee

Lady of Spring

Let the new life truly begin!

Let's nurture life to ever fruit

To blossom, mature and sprout

Let's dance and sing

For life to begin

To really take shape

All around!

Thank you for sound!

Blessed be

All images in my video are taken from a Google search for "Celtic Goddess' of Spring", however although inspired by an ancient tale the voice of the singer is my own.

I hope you enjoy listening and watching as much as I did making the video.

Blessings!

The time of the Imbolc

Deep beneath the Earth
Awakens the Maiden
She stretches and gasps a breath
She makes sweet sounds
She sits up and looks around
Mother, where are you?
Here my dear!
Let us go see the sun together
Bright beautiful sunshine
A blue sky white wispy clouds
The warmth of Spring is here

Deep in the house the Amma has been busy

All is well prepared
The hearth fire is lit
The candles are burning
The chalice full of mylk
White roses of peace
A warmth to Her skin in the firelight
All is clean and new
A night's work
A morning's glory
Welcome in the Spring
Out with the old
In with the new
Sugar and spice and all things nice
That's what little girl's are made of!
