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!"

 

 

 

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 Mabon past..

As the copper hues of the leaves

Drift across the forest floor

May We pray all the more

For an abundance true

From nature

Thank you Mother Earth for the apples

The nuts, the berries

All those beautiful leaves

Thank you for the harvest of the autumn

Welcome to a new world of light

Where all is safe

All is well

The cloak of the Goddess

A cloak so fine

Woven anew each and every year

Leaves and grasses

Nuts and Berries

Copper, Russet all kinds of browns, yellows and reds

Animals I believe are making their winter beds

Thank you Lady for the seasons

Thank you Lord once too

For bringing such a balance

To Us from Nature golden

Thank you for the autumn sunshine

Thank you for each leaf

Thank you for each berry

That heals us from our grief

Thank you for the merry nuts

Of wanders far and wide

Thank you for the gifts You share

As the leaves do glide

Welcome to this season of abundance

Thank you for the gifts of autumn

Thank you for nature and all Her blessings

To the Lord I give my heart

To bring the strength of Light

To respect all Nature

To give a merry dance

To give a moment of celebration

A harvest supper

A bowl of fruits

Thank you from the bottom of my heart

Thank you for the Mabon!

Blessed BE

Lammastide

As the jungle lushious grows

I sink into Her with feet and toes

She holds me safe

She holds me Sure

Glory everlasting more

When to the Lammastide we come

We celebrate the summer done

The summer passed with glorious light

The sun in the sky so bright

Now to the autumn steadfastly

Harvest to gather all is glee

The Goddess Nerthus, Earth Mother fine

Goddess of paece and fertility

She shines at lammas for all to see

Her blessed wondrous fertility

It is at this time Her glory is seen

Oh Earth Mother great

How do we gleam?

Thank you Nerthus for all your gifts

Thank you for harvest and warmth of sun

How the autumn has begun!

Through stormy seas

Through rich dark forests

She rides out with horses

To see Her World

To greet Her people

Thank you Nerthus for your kindness

Great thee be, Great we see

The wondrous blessings ye bring

The strength and might of thy insight

Thank you for your presence

As a delicate bloom,

As a quiet storm

As a tree so strong

As the lilac dawn

As great and true

The Earth so blue

Thank you!

Blessed be
