HAIL BRIGHID OF THE ETERNAL FLAME
I� HUMBLY ASK� YOU TO BE MY GUIDE
AS I AM TAKING THE STEPS AGAIN
THAT WILL LEAD ME� BACK� TO MY INNER LIGHT

FOR I AM BACK ON THE OLD PATH
THAT I HAVE TAKEN SOME LIVES AGO
I REMEMBER THE WORDS OF THE ANCIENT OATH
AS THEY WERE WRITTEN UPON MY SOUL

I� SING THE SONGS I KNOW BY HEART
I DANCE AGAIN THE SPIRAL DANCE
MY WILL IS STRONG AND SO MY DESIRE
I LET GO MY BODY TO SEEK YOU IN TRANCE

I LONG TO SEE THE ISLAND OF APPLES
TO CLIMB� THE HILLS...TO FEEL THE CALM
TO SMELL THE SWEET FRAGANCE OF FLOWERS
TO� BE ONCE MORE IN THE FAERY REALM

OH BLESSED BRIGHID OF THE SACRED FIRE
SHOW ME THE WAY , TAKE ME BY HAND
PART THE MISTS THAT COVER MY SIGHT
WELCOME ME BACK INTO YOUR DOMAIN

OH COME,FAIR MAIDENS,
AND BRAID YOUR HAIR
WITH RIBBONS AND FLOWERS
AND DRESS WITH CARE
FOR IT IS MAY EVE
LOVE IS IN THE AIR
AND SPELLS AND MAGICK
ARE EVERYWHERE.

OH COME, YOUNG LADS,
LIT THE BEL FIRES
AND LET THEM WARM UP
YOUR INNER DESIRES
FOR IT IS BELTAINE
OAK KING IS REBORN
FOR THE SACRED RITE
WITH OAK, ASH AND THORN.

OH COME AND SING
AND DANCE AROUND
THE MAYPOLE IS UP
INSIDE THE GROUND
THE EARTH REJOICES
IN THIS NIGHT OF POWER
THE VEILS ARE THIN
IN THESE WITCHING HOURS.

OH BLESSED BE THE MAIDEN,
THE MOTHER AND THE CRONE.
BLESSED BE CERNUNNOS
AND ALL HOLY ONES.
QUEEN MABD, HIGH KING
WE CALL UPON THEE
TO BLESS THIS SABBAT
SO MOTE IT BE.

Innys Wytrin , I recall...
The sweet smell in the air,
The rug of flowers in the ground,
The cool breeze in the hair...

The sounds of giggling and laughter
Of the young ones in the garden,
While weaving flower garlands
To their heads and garments.

Island of Apples, I recall...
Peace and joy, prayers and songs,
Smooth hills with their green mantle
And the Tor, high and strong.

The Goddess was everywhere
To see, to feel, to touch, to love
And the little folk helped us care
Of the sheeps, the cows and the crops.

The golden gate to the Otherworld
Was easy to find and open to all
Who wanted to join the Faery Folk
In their rituals and their festivals.

From inside the Tor, the sacred springs
Came rushing and washing all our sorrows.
Brighid, the healer, and the Faery King
Blessed those waters of diferent colors.

The mists around us, divine protection,
The wonderful feeling of being alive,
In peace with the land� and all creation,
The Sun, the Moon, the seasons, the tides.

I long to go back to my ancestors home...
My soul weeps and so does my heart,
I dream and I sing the old folk songs
Playing the strings of my inner harp.
�������������������

LET IT GROW
LET IT GLOW
LIKE A DREAM
LET IT GO
THEN YOU'LL KNOW
WHO I AM
I AM THE ONE
WITHIN YOUR SOUL.

I AM THE MAIDEN
I AM THE LOVER
I AM THE MOTHER
I AM THE CRONE
I AM THEM ALL
LET ME GROW
I AM THE FOUNTAIN
LET ME FLOW.

I AM THE CHALICE
I AM THE CAULDRON
I AM THE WATER
I AM THE STONE
I AM THE FIRE
I AM THE AIR
I AM THE SHADOW
I AM THE FLARE.

I AM YOURSELF
LET ME GLOW
I AM THE ONE
WITHIN YOUR SOUL.�

HER FEET TOUCH THE GROUND
AS DEWDROPS THE GRASS.
HER TIGHTS, SOFT AND ROUND,
ONE LONGS TO CARESS.

HER BREASTS, SACRED CUPS,
FEED THE YOUNG WITH MILK AND LOVE.
HER LIPS, SWEET AS HONEY...
HER EYES , DEEP SHINNING GROVES.

HER WOMB, SACRED GRAIL,
HOLDS THE SECRETS OF LIFE,
BEYOND THE VELVET GATE.

FOR AS ABOVE, SO BELOW,
GODDESSES AMONG US
WOMEN , QUEENS OF THIS WORLD .
�������������������������

From� the� darkest night of my soul ,
I reach� for Thee , Beloved� Brighid ,
For I have� not who� else� to turn...
From� the� deepest grove� of� despair,
I call� for Thee , Blissfull�� Goddess ,
For I have� no one� who cares.

Merciful� Healer , come� balm� my wounds ,
For I hurt and� dwell� in dark� agony ,
My lonely heart can bear no more .
Bring me� relief ... and peace... and hope...
For I have� lost my inner strengh
My burden seems more� than I can cope.

Oh� , come� , Goddess� of� the Triple� Flame !
Bestow upon me� Your blessed� hands
Please� calm� my suffering� and ease� the� pain !

As maiden , grant me� the� will to strive !
As mother , feed my heart with�� joy !
As crone , teach� me� to� be� as wise !
�������������������������

As� the� wren, so little but wise...
As� the grass, in bending ,such grace...
As� the water carving� its ways...
As you , my child, shoul live your life !

Do not fear the� darkness� around ...
Do not hear the mermaids song ...
The� law says : the humble is� truly� the strong !

. Learn� from� the wheat, just curve� , don"t� break !
Wacht� the� ways� of all living� things� !
Have� honor and� faith ! And do always� praise
The gifts of nature , the light of the� Sun ,
The blessings� of Heaven , the words of wisdom ,
And to you , my beloved , no harm will be done !
����������������������

For I have not the power,
To overcome my reality,
I cry aloud in agony,
In this long and londsome night.

For I have nothing but faith
To keep me going tomorrow
Too many memories and sorrow
On my back too much weight.

The easy ways I refuse...
I reach for You as refuge
Calm port to my troubled soul.

Oh, sweet Goddess, mother of all,
Come to me ! Hear my call !
For I have no one who will.
�������������

No more talk of loss and� fears,
Of londsome nights and fears,
Of longing for a faraway past,
While all your future is cast
As a patchwork of options.

No more feeling sad and weak,
No more playing hide and seek
With life. Now it's time
To walk your way and find
Your own path of liberation.

Peace and contentment, calm and truth,
Should you feel inside of you.
Raise your head , follow the rainbow,
This way you'll find your pot of gold,
And I am always by your side.

Light up my flame inside of you,
It will guide you when it is dark,
It will warm when it is cold,
Leave your sorrows, free your soul,
Let yourself be light and bright.

Be brave and dare to find your Grail !
Ask the question! Lift the veil!
Heal the Fisher King inside!
Grasp the chalice of pure delight,
And I'll be there to greet you home !
�������������

May You come to me,
Riding the sun rays.
May You shine through me,
Brighthning all my ways.

� May You flow in me,
Like Your blessed springs.
May You cleanse me out,
Of all evil things.

� May You mold my body,
As the forgers do.
May You transform me,
Into a beautiful jewel.

� May You warm my heart,
With Your sacred fire.
May You change my home,
Into a peaceful shrine.

� May You heal myself !
May I heal my fellows !
May I become like You,
Brighid, Fiery Arrow !

�

When I am feeling londsome,
When I am feeling down,
I seek my old sweet home,
Back in Avalon.

� When my friends have vanished,
When my children are gone,
I go away so fast,
Back to Avalon.

� When the night is dark,
And I am all alone,
I seek refuge and part,
Back to Avalon.

� When I am lost in worries,
When I am feeling worn,
I flee to the Fairie Realm,
Under Avalon.

� When it is time to die,
I'll urge the barge to come,
And ,gladly , will step inside,
And sail to Avalon.

Winter has come , snow in my hair,
Tells me of seasons gone by.
The wheel of life has turned patiently,
As I stumbled, fell and cried.

� Now the showers of early Spring
Are gone.The heat of the Summer too!
The leaves of foolish hopes I left,
And only the warmth of my hearth is true.

� Black is my color, I proudly wear,
Wisdom is my gift, I gladly share,
For life has taught me as time went by.

� My face shows lines of all my ways,
My body grew larger as an old tree shade,
I am the crone, the dark side of bright.

� The Sun is the highest,
To see all well!
The King ,at his brightest,
To bid Farewell !
The Wheel is turning,
Life goes on,
Oak King shall die !
Holly King shall return !

� All land seems busy,
In the longest day !
The flowers seeding...
The crops becoming...
The bees buzzing...
The birds humming...
All forces of nature
Sprouting up high ,
To celebrate Littha,
To celebrate Light !

� Wild dreams and nightmares,
When night has come !
All magikal beings,
Running everywhere!
Dwarves and Fairies !
Gnomes and Elves !

Under the moonlight ,dance ,
The Dance of the Seasons !

� Earth holds its breath
In this warm night !
Heavy scents in the air,
Of lust and love,
Of sweat and honey,
Of ale and mead.
All fragrances of life
Mingling in harmony,
In the boiling cauldron
Of Midsummer's Eve !
