Aois Dana Rhianon

Written by Anne Cross (Braiding-the-Wind) in March of 1996.

My imagination is a horse
a white horse
a grey horse
a black horse

She gallops the plains of Heaven
tossing snow from her hoofs,
Across a sky full of sunlight and angels.

She weaves the woods of Faerie
with the mist thick around her hocks
Through a forest full of shadows and Sidhe

She stamps the depths of Hell
where the mire sucks at her knees
Past a valley full of Darkness and demons

She is my horse and I can guide her,
I can ride her,
But she is a hors and she can fight me,
She can throw me.

In the plains of Heaven, the woods of Faerie, the depths of Hell,
She can leave me to find my way home.

White horse child,
Grey horse child,
Black horse child.

To ride her takes courage,
To catch her takes words
Neither is easy -- especially if she's thrown you.

But I am the teller of tales,
speaker to the wind,
Listener to the sky,

And I will ride where my horse may take me.

Wiccaning

From : Ceridwen Goddess

THE DIVULGENCE OF THE NAMES (explained to the Witnesses):

ANCIENT EUROPEAN PEOPLES BELIEVED THAT YOU MUST HAVE TWO
NAMES, ONE PUBLIC AND ONE A SECRET NAME THAT ONLY THOSE
PRESENT AT THE BLESSING CEREMONY KNEW. THIS SECOND NAME
IS FOR USE AFTER PUBERTY, WHEN THE SOUL CHANGES INTO ITS
FIRST ADULT SELF, WHEN IT CAN BE UTTERED ONCE MORE, AND
MADE PUBLIC. THE PURPOSE OF THE FIRST PUBLIC NAME WAS TO
DIVERT THE EVIL EYE, TO GAIN FAVOR WITH THE FATES, TO
KEEP AWAY SICKNESS, AND TO HELP THE CHILD REACH ADULTHOOD.

Priestess:
"Great Spirit of Nature, protect and guide these young souls
among us. May the Blessings of the wise and joyous Father of the Gods far-seeing and far-knowing be upon thee. May the blessings of the Triple Goddess, of Maiden, of Mother, of Crone, and all their power
be upon thee."

The following blessings/invocations were spoken and followed by
the child being immersed in the ocean water of the beach where
the ritual was held:

ELIZABETH'S DUNKING:

Anna Perenna
Great Goddess, Mother of All
Envelope this daughter of yours
in the waters of Your womb
Grant her protection from wrong-doing
Wash away the memories of her pain
Shower her with Your blessings
in a life everlasting
Bless Elizabeth Mae Luzerne.
So Mote it Be!

PATRICK'S DUNKING:

Great Goddess, Nurturer and Bearer of all Men, great and small
Without whose womb they would not be
Mother of Gods, of Sacrificial Kings,
Presidents, Emperors, and beggars
Welcome this son of Yours into Your Light
and as you have taught us, let him find
"Beauty and strength, power and compassion,
mirth and reverence, honor and humility"
within his heart.
Wash his fears away with your caress!
Bless Patrick Howard Lloyd!
Blessed Be!

MORGAINNE'S DUNKING:

Hail, o gracious and most magnificent Lady
whose slender hand turns the vast wheel of the sky.
whose triple aspect does see
the beginning, the life, and the end of all things.
whose wells of mystery do give
inspiration and rebirth thoughout eternity,
receive here this small daughter of yours with blessings
and with love.
Bless Morgainne Ellayne!
So mote it be!

Ejemplos De Bendiciones Para Un Libro De Las Sombras

Tweet

La Bendici'on del Libro, es una bendici'on que se escribe al principio de un Libro de las Sombras, con la finalidad de protegerlo, o encomendarlo a seres concretos.

Lo mejor es que escrib'ais vuestra propia bendici'on del Libro pero os voy a poner aqu'i algunos ejemplos para que ve'ais como son.

BENDICI'oN DEL LIBRO DE LA MORRIGU

Escuchad la palabra del brujo

Que invoca al Se~nor y a la Se~nora

Luna arriba y Tierra abajo.

El azul fresco del cielo y el calor del sol,

A esta hora, cuando todo est'a listo,

Llenad estas p'aginas con vuestro poder:

Que ning'un ojo desprevenido vea

Los secretos que se me conf'ian

A m'i, que transito este camino oculto

Para hallar la serena morada del hogar.

Guardianes de los cuatro caminos,

O'idme y brindadme vuestra protecci'on:

Que esta verdades de la Tierra y los cielos

Queden a salvo de ojos entremetidos.

Pero que a los brujos a quienes corresponde este mapa

Vean el camino f'acilmente;

Y, por los siglos de los siglos,

Que encontremos nuestro hogar en estas p'aginas.

!Qu'e as'i sea!

(De Jack Veasey)

BENDICI'oN DEL LIBRO

Llamo al m'as verde Norte,

Norte de la Tierra, del nacer del comenzar, del cuidar;

Llamo al encantado este,

Este del Aire, de volar, del traer, de silbar;

Llamo al silencioso Sur;

Sur de Fuego, de arder, de brillar, de crecer;

Llamo al Oeste del hechicero;

Oeste de agua, de limpiar, de bendecir, del saber;

Conjuro y llamo,

Lanzo mi deseo,

Por las fuerzas poderosas

De Tierra, Aire, Fuego y Agua;

Encanto y bendigo todo lo que hay.

!Qu'e as'i sea ahora!

(Gwinevere Rain)

!Hermosa Diosa en todas tus fases

Protege y bendice estas p'aginas m'agicas

De ca'idas y males

Y esp'iritus malignos

Conjura y encanta

Todo cerca de 'el!

(Gwinevere Rain).

!Protege mis escritos en este libro m'agico

para que nadie malo o negativo pueda mirar

mientras lo sello con energ'ia positiva

que encantado tres veces sea.

(Gwinevere Rain)

!Qu'e los poderes positivos y divinos

Bendigan este grimorio m'io

Lo sellen con el signo hechicero

Para que nunca nadie lo toque!

(Gwinevere Rain)

Secretos de hechiceros que guardas tras de ti

Ser'an protegidos mientras hablo aqu'i

Ni el mal ni el fuego llegar'an

Realza tus p'aginas y las lecciones que ense~nar'an

Bendice el libro con poder divino en este d'ia

Durante la hora de la hechicer'ia.

(Gwinevere Rain).

BENDICI'oN DEL LIBRO

Traducido por Dandelion.

Puedes decir esta bendici'on sobre tu Libro de las Sombras:

En el Reino de la magia este Libro residir'a.

Ninguno excepto los que lo hayan elegido ver'an lo que hay dentro.

Si el aliento es al Aire como la pasi'on es al fuego,

Permite que no haya ning'un mal, este es mi deseo.

Si la vida es a la Tierra lo que el Agua a las emociones

Este libro se ha llenado de m'agicas pociones.

Pueden los Dioses protegerlo, guardarlo del da~no,

Y otorgarle poder, magia y encantarlo.

Nadie sin sabidur'ia mirar'a estas p'aginas,

O el conocimiento del interior transmitido a trav'es de los a~nos.

Este libro es m'io, sin miedo refugiado.

El conocimiento se obtuvo a trav'es de sangre, sudor y l'agrimas,

Mi magia es mi pasi'on, los esp'iritus son mis gru'ias.

El libro puede ella bendec'irlo con su luz espiritual.

Y deja solo a sus ni~nos leer de su ritual.

Que aquellos que sean verdaderamente wiccanos lo puedan ver,

este es mi deseo, as'i que deja que pueda ser.

BENDICI'oN DEL LIBRO DE LAS SOMBRAS

De Silver Raven Wolf, traducido por Dandelion

Escucha las palabras de las Brujas

Llamando al Todo, desde el abismo al vado,

Puente de vastas realidades,

Sin da~no alguno, hacedlo por favor.

Elementos proteged y guardad este libro,

De los ojos errantes y miradas indiscretas.

Llenadlas con vuestro poder ancestral,

En esta hora exacta y con todo preparado.

Poderes del Norte, delante del Este,

Ayudadme a vivir, aprender y crecer.

Prestadme vuestra fuerza y estabilidad,

Para practicar el Arte y con amor ser libre.

Poderes del Este, el Viento, el Cielo,

Vigilad sobre estas p'aginas con vuestros ojos.

Vuestra sabidur'ia y conocimiento, es lo que os pido,

Qu'e este libro sea digno del Arte es la misi'on.

Poderes del Sur, del Fuego, y del Hogar,

Ayudad a estas Sombras a probar su valor.

Infundidles toda vuestra Curaci'on y Pasi'on,

As'i solo lo bueno vendr'a con el trabajo que realizo.

Poderes del Oeste, del Agua y del Mar,

Cambio y crecimiento permitid.

Bendecid estas p'aginas con todo vuestro Conocimiento,

Para que los virtuosos lectores puedan aprender y crecer.

Y los ojos incultos que vean

Palabras confusas y sofismo.

Guiadlos por estas sagradas p'aginas,

Y bendecid sus pasajes a trav'es de los siglos.

Con el libre albedr'io de todos,

Sin da~no alguno,

C'omo as'i lo deseo,

As'i ser'a ahora.

!Qu'e as'i sea!

Nota: siento que est'e todo separado pero llevo media hora intentando arreglarlo y se vuelve a separar.

Book: Issue by Correllian Times Emagazine

The Correllian Times E-magazine is available free of charge. Help this project and many others - buy a supporting membership to WitchSchool.com. The Correllian Times features articles, reports on events, photos, artwork, poetry, and more! To download a .pdf copy of the magazine, click on the link above. Each issue will have its own link, listed by date.

In this e-magazine you can learn more about the Correllian Tradition, its leading members, locations around the world, legally incorporated churches, and enjoy photo essays about Correllian events. The Correllian Nativist Tradition is the largest and fasted growing Wiccan Tradition in the world. Many Correllian organizations having state level incorporation in their own right include Heritage Temple, Selu Temple, Enchanted Realm Temple, and the Correll Mother Temple itself among others. The Correllian Nativist Tradition has locations in countries around the world including the USA, Canada, Australia, South Africa, Denmark, Sweden, Uruguay, Mexico, Belgium, Argentina, and Spain and members in many other places including Peru, Brazil, Hong Kong and Singapore. The Correllian Tradition is dedicated to the advancement of the Pagan people. We believe strongly in the need for increased communication and co-operation between Pagans everywhere, from all Traditions.

We stress the importance of the Pagan Clergy as teachers and facilitators, and the need for a strong public presence. The Correllian Tradition emphasizes celebratory as well as initiatory Wicca, and is strongly committed to accessible public ritual. But perhaps the one thing that most sets Correllian Wicca apart is that we have embraced the internet as an educational tool.

Correspondence teaching is nothing new in Wicca, but we were the first to utilize the internet as a serious tool for training new initiates. This has brought great expansion and many changes to our Tradition, and we are still in the process of mastering this new teaching medium.

Correllian Wicca different from many other Traditions of Wicca is that we are a unified Tradition with a single leadership. Although increasing numbers of Correllian Temples have their own incorporation, they are they are all part of one Tradition, an inter-dependent whole which stands together as a family.

The entire world-wide Tradition has a single structure allowing us to act together as few other Traditions can. The leading bodies of the Correllian Tradition include; The Witan Council, which is made up of all Temple Heads, Elders, and Officers of the Tradition; And the Correllian Council of Elders which includes the Heads and Officers of the Tradition, and its most respected members.

Kristin Walks The Dragon

Tweet

From the villages of Cambridge-on-Charles, Belmont-on-Muddy, and Arlington

A Mummer's Play

In honor of the wedding of

Jonathan Gilbert and Kristin Baldwin

Dramatis Personae

Fool.......................................................Tom Arena Jonathan.................................................Jeff Keller Kristin.............................................Patricia Hawkins Knight in Shining T-Shirt................................Randy Smith Mother Gaia..........................................Elizabeth Stone Dragon...................................................Janet Baker Authenticity Police..............Daniel Schwartz, Brian Wilson et al Doctor DJ.............................................David Johnston Dr. Whom, Philological Busybody..........................Mark Mandel Musician's representative (early)........................Jean Monroe

Unindicted Co-conspirators:
Mary-Anne Wolf, Marilyn Richards, Martha Sullivan, Jeff Keller, Tom Arena, Patricia Hawkins, Randy Smith, ELizabeth Stone, Brian Wilson, Marc Vilain, and Anonymous.

Enter Fool

FOOL
(clearing the space with broom (if possible)

Open the door, and enter in,
I beg y'pardon to begin,
Whether we stand, we sit, or we fall,
We'll do our duty to please you all

ALL ACTORS
(including those offstage)

We are merry actors that travel the street,
We are merry actors that fight for our meat,
We are merry actors that show pleasant play,
Enter the Gilberts! Clear the way!

Enter Jonathan and Krisitin. Jonathan is toting lots of intstrument cases.
If we have time to set this up, he has a large case with nested smaller
cases; the innermost case has a recorder or whistle or kazoo.

JONATHAN

Krisin my rose, my love, my sweet,
Now I am home, my dear to greet,
After rehearsal of tunes unnumbered,
Happy, although with cases encumbered...
Should I endeavor to play you a song
To show all my thanks that to you belong
For sharing my dreams, my hopes, my life,
for being my heart my joy, and now, my wife?

Takes out huge instrument case and starts unpacking

Oh yes. Let's see if my thoughts come to order
as soon as I blow on my tenor recorder..."

(Plays a few notes)

No, no, that's too low. Range should be in the middle.
Perhaps if I try it again on the fiddle?
No, no, love sounds bad from a bow on a string.
Perhaps I can pick.. a guitar's a good thing!

If possible, he unlimbers a guitar or mandolin, and plucks a string.

JONATHAN

No, no I am starting to feel like a moron!
Perhaps all it needs is a beat on the bodhran..

(NOTE: pronounce it boe-ron)

KRISTIN

My darling, I'm breatful indeed for your gift;
a love song would give any new bride a lift
But now that you have come home
from making much music... no need for a tome
or an ode or an epithalamion..no,

(NOTE: eh-pi-tha-mee-lee-on)

I think we should rest, yes, to bed we should go...

JONATHAN

Okay, then, perhaps it's a good idea to keep..
Rested, with sweet dreams and full sleep.

BOTH J & K
(to tune of Seven Dwarves' "Hi Ho! Hi Ho! It's off to work we go..")

To bed! To bed! Rejuvenate the head!
A full and deep
Eight hours' sleep
In bed! To bed!

They lie down and fall asleep. The FOOL makes a trumpet-florish sort of
sound (or hums "Reveille"). J & K sit bolt upright startled awake. The
FOOL tiptoes over and drops a tabard over Jonathan's head; it has a
target and the label "St. George" pinned to it.

OFFSTAGE ACTORS

Singing:

Dance, then, wherever you may be
For I am the Lord of the Dance said he
And I'll lead you all, wherever you may be
And I'll lead you all in the Dance, said he.

KRISTIN

What goes on here? What has come to pass?

JONATHAN

I do recognize the scene before us
For this setting is familiar, alas
We're in the Revels Chorus!

KRISTIN

Look at the sign upon your chest
I feel a dread forboding chill
In the mummer's play I remember best
Doesn't St. George get killed?

JONATHAN

If I am St. George, then I must die
With Swords around my meck.
In truth, I'd rather not
If they're as sharp as I expect

I am newly husbanded
With happy hearth and home
Where I should be -- not here--
Reciting this dogeared little poem.

FOOL hands J. his script

JONATHAN

This is the plot?
These are my lines?
The scansion stinks! And the rhymes..!
If this is a dream, who wrote it?
'Tis quite bad- you should note it!

FOOL

'Twas accomplished withoujt our best script writer
*He* was off getting married
It was hard enough getting the muse to come here
Bug off! I've been pretty harried.

What, did you expect Gilbert and Sullivan songs?
They've been dead for a century
Seances won't right rhyming wrongs,
Besides, I don't think they'd give a cent for thee.

We did have a Sullivan writer from afar
Who composed a felicitous ditty
So away with your feathers and tar
She wrote in from New York City!

(Enter knight in shining t-shirt)

KNIGHT IN SHINING T-SHIRT

In comes I..

FOOL

I know you! You're the knight of the woeful countenance!

KNIGHT IN SHINING T-SHIRT

No, I'm the knight of the dreadful consequence (deadpan).

FOOL

Someone of nobel prominence?

KNIGHT IN SHINING T-SHIRT

(coldly)

May I continue?

FOOL

Sorry.

KNIGHT IN SHINING T-SHIRT

Where is St. George, that champion bold?
If his blood is hot, I will soon have it cold.

(sees J. and addresses next lines to him)

If you'd not beheaded be
You must answer this for me
What word is both transitive and intransitive verb
(A riddle that should *you* preturb)
and also both proper and improper noun?
(There! *That's* a knot that will confound!)

JONATHAN

A riddle with answer lexical
'Tis Fortune that sent us this test
No matter it seems quite complexical
For playing with words is what we do best!

KRISTIN

I've an insight from above--
Knight in T-shirt, the word is "love."

KNIGHT IN SHINING T-SHIRT

Not the word I thought to find
But it fits, so I'll not mind
You can live-- enjoy the day
I'll be going, on my way.

Exit knight.

MOTHER GAIA

Usually, Father Christmas would be next
But patriarchal figures have us vexed
So I, Mother Gaia, shall come in now
To punish you for what I can't allow

I give this presentation
by means: conversation-al
promoting conversation-al

FOOL

Causing aggravation-al?

MOTHER GAIA

A credo of yore --

JONATHAN

Mine?

MOTHER GAIA

You chose to ignore--

JONATHAN

I did?

MOTHER GAIA

"Use it up, wear it out
make do, or do without."
A sin committed, by Gilbert most foul,

JONATHAN

*What* sin!?!

FOOL

Did he kill a spotted owl?

MOTHER GAIA

The use, abuse, and causing of refuse!
To wit: A paper towel!

JONATHAN

All this over a rag?

MOTHER GAIA

A rag, a bag, a towel or two
Or three, nay four, there's always more!
Not even separated, nor bundled clean
I accuse you sire, of NOT BEING GREEN!

KRISTIN

(hastily)

That may have been true in the past
But now we're a team, you see
We'll properly sort all our trash
We want to keep saving trees!

From this day forth, it will always be so
Our ecological work will be impeccable
Now, why not bother the WTO?
I think they'd be eminently deckable!

MOTHER GAIA

I'll accept your excuses this time
But I'll be back now and then to check up
Make sure to compost your rinds
Or else I'll be sure to stir heck up.

The WTO is not a bad idea
But I have one much better
To our nation's capital I'll go
With a giant paper shredder
We'll hav enough trash to provide
Toilet paper for everyone
Not even Bush can hide
Don't you think my plan's a clever one?

JONATHAN

Yes, yes, you've captured it quite
We wish you a most pleasant journey

Exit Mother Gaia

Whew, that was quite a fright!
I thought we'd need an attorney!

FOOL

I wouldn't relax, if I were you two--
Here comes trouble, ready to spew!

Enter Dragon, roaring!

DRAGON

A dragon come I. Scaly beast.
By hobby I make knights deceased.
My breath is fiery like a forge.
I seek to fight the knight St. George.

JONATHAN

You seek Saint George. I am not he!

DRAGON

You've got his name-- now fight with me!

JONATHAN

I have no sword, My hands are plain.

DRAGON

But *my* fights are another game.

KRISTIN

I'll clip the Dragon's wins, she shall not fly
I'll disarm her--

JONATHAN

Or else I'll die!

KRISTIN

Me thinks this Dragaon we'll defeat a
Perhaps if we just change the met-ah.

DRAGON

circling and dancing around them

Stand on head. Stand on feet.
Meat. Meat. Meat for to eat.
I am the Dragon-- here are my jaws
I am the Dragon -- here are my claws.
Meat. Meat. Meat for to eat.
I am the Drafon, I am the fire.
I am the pathway to every desire.
Meat, Meat, Meat for to eat.
I am the circle forever complete!

FOOL

carried away by the intense rhythm

Gooooo Dragon!

JONATHAN

Gives fool a dirty look

Whose side are *you* on?

Fool shrugs.

DRAGON

I'll cut him into eyelet holes and make his buttons fly.
I'll roast him up and serve him up, crisp, with home fries.
('Cos dragons like me don't eat mince pies!)

JONATHAN

Great-- an oversized malodorous lizard
To get out of this would take a wizard.

KRISTIN

Not really-- we need a new outlet for its aggression
As a heat source-- there's your new profession!
There are those who can use this warmth that you spew
For Winter is coming, a frosty debut
And you can heat shelters and save needed funds
Which helps the disadvantaged until the Sun
Comes back in the Spring.
What do you say? Will you do this thing?

DRAGON

You know, this idea of yours has class
Helping people is new to me.
I'm tired of being a social outcast
Time to expand my vocabulary.

Please put me in touch with the right kind of folks
Ones who won't mind my dragonly jokes.

Kristin walks the dragon offstage, chatting, as Jonathan wipes
his brow with relief.

JONATHAN

Thank goodness she managed to get that thing off of a me
*Now* methinks could I drink hot coffee.

Enter Authenticity Police, single file. The first one stops suddenly,
and the other(s) bump into him.

AUTHENTICITY POLICE

(together)

In come we, what's all this then?

POLICEMAN #1

(to Jonathan)

Weren't you to meet an untimely end?

POLICEMAN #2

You're St. George, and you know the story
You can't rewrite traditional allegory.

AUTHENTICITY POLICE

(together)

We're the Authenticity Police, bound to keep things accurate
No sense of humor is allowed-- we're told we have a knack for it!

(they sing, to the Policeman's song from Pirates of Penzance)

There are those who wish to knit themselves a sackbut
(knit a sackbut)
And those who play their lap harps out of tune
(out of tune)
And those whose ornaments are merely tacked up
(merely tacked up)
And those who have to wear their modern shoon
(modern shoon)
Our feelings we with difficulty smother
('culty smother)
When pedantical duty is to be done
(to be done0
Ah take one consideration with another
(with another)
Correcting anachronisms is not fun
(is not fun)

They bow.

(to Kristin)

POLICEMAN #1

We must keep our archetypal legends in order
Kristin's done good, but we can't reward her.

(to Jonathan)

POLICEMAN #2

You must die to renew the world
No more dodging that, you churl!

Drops swords over J's head. J collapses.

KRISTIN

O terrible, horrible! What have you done?
You've gone and killed my belov'd Jonathan!

POLICEMAN #1

Sorry ma'am, it was our duty.

Kristin sniffs loudly.

POLICEMAN #2

No need to be so snooty.

POLICEMEN (ALL)

We're finished -- others need us now
We hear Plymouth's used an out-of-period plow!

Exit Authenticity Police.

KRISTIN

How can we be sure he's dead? Maybe he's just resting...
Could the police merely have been jesting?

FOOL

One way to find out -- we'll have to get a doctor!
Help, ho, for a doctor!

Five pounds for a doctor!

JONATHAN

(still dead, from floor)

Ten pounds to keep him away!

Enter Doctor DJ

DOCTOR DJ

In come I, a doctor,
Scrubbed up, as you can see
To be a useful sort of guy
Another PhD!

Examines Jonathan

DOCTOR DJ

Yup he's dead, and that's my diagnosis
No cure for that, you know, so the case now closed is.

Enter Authenticity Police, single file again, with same Keystone cops crashing.

POLICEMAN #1

You're supposed to have pills to cure all ills
The hiccup, the palsy, and the gout

POLICEMAN #2

(to audience)

He's a bigger fraud than the traditional shill
And we've come to throw the bum out!

They drag Dr. DJ offstage.

KRISTIN

puzzling

Can we make him live again?
It is a fearful problem
Is it fair to thwart G-d's plan
Can there be a strategem?
Besides, it seems to me quite selfish
To restore my love to life
Of course I want him back again
I recently became his wife!

But the world's full of injustice,
and unhappiness galore
Instead of raising mone man from the dust, is
It my task the world to restore?

Enter Musician

MUSICIAN

On behalf of all us musical
we beg to you to use all your force
It's left us in one heck of a pickle
For Jonathan's a community resource.

He's a one-man-band of the Renaissance
and plays other idioms too
Pray think of us needy ensembles
We want him restored to life, too!

KRISTIN

This is more a pushing than a leading
But I think that clearness might come
A hint of some sort I am needing--
Or at least a place to start from!

Musician shakes head sadly, had nothing to offer.

(Kristin picks up Bible)

Hmmm.. "In the beginning.." Oh yes. Book of John.
"Was the Word" Aha! "And the Word was with God."
(The writer was Greek, so that hardly seems odd...
But I'm getting off track. Guess I better read on.)
"And the Word *was* God." This stuff is quite good.
The Word made the world, as a good word should.
And it shines in the dark, says this great good book,
And the dark never wins.. So what's the hook?
And what is the word that I need to bring back
My love from his perilous deadly attack?

DR. WHOM

A wandering Philological Busybody, who happened to pass by this room Your situations seem a bit muddy..
Oh, you can call me Dr. Whom.

KRISTIN

We're trapped, you see, in this St. George story
I tried to keep my love from his ending gory
But Fate, assisted by the cops
Who do enforce authenticity
Forced us to toe the story line
and did not show us pity.

DR. WHOM

Hmmmm....

(looks in J's eyes)

The eyes are the windows of the soul,
And this poor soul has been defenestrated
Methink's he's quite up the pole
But there are words not too consecrated
That will revive this chap
Consider the root of inspiration
And consider it well, and mayhap
You'll come to his restoration!

(Examines J's feet)

I have GOOD NEWS!

JONATHAN

(still dead)

You can heal me?

DR. WHOM

No, Even better-- I think these shoes will fit me!
(drops feet)
Well, now that's settled, on to my fee!

JONATHAN

But they're *my* shoes!

DR. WHOM

Fee! I said my Fee! (aside) I'll be back for the shoes.

KRISTIN

(ignores Dr. Whom...)
musing

Fee.. feeling, life-- not death
Expire, Inspire, respire, BREATH

and she breathes on him...

JONATHAN

The spirit moves me to speak, now that it's back in my body
You've done it! Now don't be so meek... 'twas a feat that was quite far from shoddy!

KRISTIN

Yes, well...

shuffle, shuffle

Couldn't anyone have done as well?
It's not as if I had to cast a Spell
Life is breath, as every singer knows
Really, it's no secret of the cosmos.

JONATHAN

hugs her

How can I express my thanks to you?
Perhaps Robbie Burns will help me through:

And I will love thee still, my dear,
Till all the seas gang dry.
Till all the seas gang dry, my dear,
And the rocks melt with the sun;
I will love thee still, my dear,.. um, thingy

ALL ACTORS

Now Ladies and Gentlemen, our play has ended
We hope that none have been offended
Now our actors are all dumb
From you, our watchers, praise must come
But before we go away,
we have but this left to say:
To Jonathan and Kristin, now that you're wed
We wish you health, happiness, and long lives well led
Full of music, words, and community
We now celebrate your unity!

Candle Blessing

Blessings be upon thee,
O creature of light!
Thrice blessed little herb!
Herb o' grease, with thy waxen stem
and thy blossom of flame!
Thou art more potent against spells and terrors
and the invisible menace than fennel or dittany or rue.
Hail! antidote to the dealy nightshade!
Blossoming in the darkness,
thy virtues are hearts ease and quiet sleep.
Sick people bless thee,
and women in travail,
and people with haunted minds,
and all children.
