The time comes
The shortest day
The longest night
The wheel turning anew

The sun will rise
The sun will set
The moon will make her own way
The stars will twinkle in the heavens

Holy Helios
Brightest in the sky
Giver of warmth
Supporter of life

Holy Selene […]

You are a light in the darkness that lies like a veil upon the world
A darkness that consumes all it touches
A darkness called ignorance
Which destroys with unearned confidence and misguided self assurance

It sets upon us falsehoods and fakery in the guise of […]

There is a light within you
A light that connects you
To the Gods who dwell on high
And the Gods who dwell below

There is a light within you
A light that connects you
To the man who stands beside you
To the woman that stands before you

The light of love, an […]

Before the Chaos spawned
And the realm cosmic came to being
You lived and stirred
Though none could see you
Save the brethren that stirred with you

You bore no names, for no man had felt you near
You bore no form, for no man had imagined it
You bore no […]

The earth snuggles down to sleep
Her power focused on other lands
And in her sleep you sing and dance
Who taught man to ferment the juices of fruit
And enjoy the work of a year with celebration
Where merriment and debauchery reign
And legs are loosened to […]

A time of quiet and peace
To tend to the animals and enjoy your gifts
Along the raging fire and the family we cherish

Giver of many gifts
Loosener of the will
Loosener of legs

Mother

I heard you sing a song to me. I smiled at the voice that came forth as if from the very earth itself. I was quieted and soothed.

I felt your embrace. Warm and gentle. I sighed in response to your loving care for even as a man, I felt a need to be […]
