The Drums Of Samhain

Tweet

The drums of Samhain keeping time.
The gates of magic open wide.

A cauldron's blessings overflow.

The candle flames are dying low.

The witches dance the circle 'round
to chant and bring the power down.

Hecate will hear our call
to turn the summer into fall.

The magic veil is growing thin.

The Netherworld is near our own.

We'll see the sacred fire fed
while witches commune with the dead.

The winds of Autumn call our names.

The driving rhythm slowly calms.

The glowing embers we will tend
until the drums of Samhain end.

A Charm Upon Rising

Tweet

"OK, so I like writing in iambic quadrameter. I must, because I notice that I'm doing it a lot. I'm getting back to work on the Nine Moons, and noticed that while I prescribed a morning gaelic-style water-pouring, I had no text for it. Here is one, vaguely based on themes from Scots morning charms, but set firmly in rhythm and meter, as I think Druidic charms ought to be. It's ultra-simple, but that seems proper for this equally simple custom, and since it's followed by actual shrine work."A CHARM UPON RISING

"To gain the blessing of the day, take fresh water to the eastern door of your home, and pour it outside the doorstep, saying:"

Thou Shining Ones of Moon and Sun

Oh Mighty Ones who guide our way

Oh Noble Spirits, every one

Guide and ward me on this day

Let me walk in wisdom's light

By virtue, strength and love's own way

My word and deed be true and right

Keep and teach me on this day

Oh Fire and Water shine and flow

By Sun and Earth I greet the day

Take you this gift now, as I go

Along my road, my path, my way.

Mary

Tweet

"With Faces of Scorn & with Eyes of disdain

Like foul Fiends inhabiting Marys mild Brain

She remembers no Face like the Human Divine

All Faces have Envy sweet Mary but thine

And thine is a Face of sweet Love in Despair

And thine is a Face of mild sorrow & care

And thine is a Face of wild terror & fear

That shall never be quiet till laid on its bier"

The Circle I Walk

Tweet

"I walk to the North of my sacred space; Herein all negativity be erased.

I walk to the east where the magic winds dance; Here I evoke the power of abundance.

I walk to the south where the fires burn bright;...There I shall banish, all evil, take flight!

I walk to the west, where clear waters flow; The circle's completed, blessings bestow!"
