Dancing With Hecate
Gracious Maiden, will you guide us with your light? My Hecate, holy lady of the night We call out to thee of air earth and sea Faces of three -- Hecate Skin hair muscle and bone, maiden mother and crone Water fire air stone maiden mother and crone You are never alone maiden mother and crone Looking at the unknown maiden mother and crone Gentle mother bringing life up from the dawn Fierce Hecate famous bringer of the storm Your magick inside, powers abide Our loved ones and friends, the dance never ends Ever standing at the crossroads in my life Amidst sacrifice and happiness and strife We call out to thee of air earth and sea Your faces are three -- Hecate
Lord of the Dance
Lord of the dance, Heart of the flame Seen in a trance, We call out your name Son husband and father to our triple Queen It's an honor to meet you, to know what you mean The Squire the Knight, bedecked and adorned Danced with the Maiden as their bond was formed In shining armor or sweat, paint and skin Pleasure and fun, always striving to win I next met the Father, a pearl without price He knows of true love and he knows of sacrifice Some battles he has lost, but the war he has won Carries his burdens for his daughters and sons The sage stood nearby, his staff in his hands Looking backwards and forwards, reviewing his plans A lifetime's experience, a head full of wisdom You can learn at his feet, just sit still and listen to the Lord of the dance, Heart of the flame Seen in a trance, We call out your name
The Ram and the Lamb
Winter has gone away, away, snow dissolved in rain Light and dark the same today, spring is here again Time for the ram, time for the lamb Time for the ram, time for the lamb Maiden, garland in your hair, find the secret hidden Mother, bring the child you bear into your heart unbidden Time for the ram, time for the lamb Time for the ram, time for the lamb The Lady walks upon the earth escorted by her lord Promises are kept in birth from tides the chalice poured Time for the ram, time for the lamb Time for the ram, time for the lamb The wheel rolls ever onward breaking winter's hold Now's the time for planting fields the furrows have been rolled Time for the ram, time for the lamb Time for the ram, time for the lamb Wise woman smile upon us all engaged inside our folly We shall reap what we have sown when oak gives way to holly Time for the ram, time for the lamb Time for the ram, time for the lamb Winter has gone away, away, snow dissolved in rain Light and dark the same today, spring is here again Time for the ram, time for the lamb Time for the ram, time for the lamb
Keep You In My Heart
I saw your body laid to rest, I knew you weren't there You left this place some days before, a spirit in the air Tonight we get together while you visit Summerland We hope that we will meet again and then walk hand in hand And we will tell your stories and we will sing your songs And we will still remember you long after you are gone For we have been together as we are now apart And you are with me always since I keep you in my heart I've known you just a little while, I've known you all my life You brought me into this world, you comfort me in strife You've been many things to many people, you've always played your parts You travel now in Summerland, thought you're alive in all our hearts And we will tell your stories and we will sing your songs And we will still remember you long after you are gone For we have been together as we are now apart And you are with me always since I keep you in my heart We miss you friend, child and lover, miss you sister miss you mother (alternate lyrics:We miss you husband, son and brother, miss you father miss you lover) We miss you so much now that you are gone, leaving all of us to carry on And we will tell your stories and we will sing your songs And we will still remember you long after you are gone For we have been together as we are now apart And you are with me always since I keep you in my heart
Full Moon Rising
Full moon rising, her pale light shines in the cloudless sky Full moon rising, the stars are her children Full moon rising, take my hand and walk with me Full moon rising, where the earth is sweet Take me down now, take me down Her pale face watches us from above Lay me down now, lay me down The stars around her are our garland Full moon rising, be with me forever stay with me tonight Full moon rising, take the stars from the sky and put them in my eyes
Tuesday's Lament
Death has touched me. She is here Standing at the shoulder of my friend She is no more of this time and place Now she travels with the Crone to the Summerland Here I sit Here I cry And I wonder when Death will come for me Death has touched me. Touched me in my heart She has taken. She has taken away my friend She has taken so many others before But this time it is personal Here I sit and write these words And I wonder when Death will come for me Death heas touched me. Just a passing glance Leaving me here Leaving me here warm and alive Leaving me here to carry on without her Leaving me here without my dear sweet friend And I sit And I cry And I wonder When Death will come for me
Uruk
Chant: Brick by Brick, stone by stone, we build Uruk, it is our home Chant: Inanna, Inanna, child of the Moon God Spoken: On her smooth brow she paints fire beams and fearsome glint Fastens carnelian, blood red and glowing around her throat And then her hand clasps the seven-headed mace Steps, yes, she steps her narrow foot on the furred back of a wild lapis lazuli bull And she goes out, white sparked, radiant In the dark vault of the evening sky Star-steps in the street through the Gate of Wonder. Chant: I, Innanna, circling the sky, circling the Earth I, the Lady, circling the sky, circling the Earth
The Ishtar Pomp
Chant: Hail to Ishtar, Hail to Ishtar, Lady of the Largest Heart.
