"Is in the movement of leaves that we see the forests spirit."

 

Ring out, solstice bells
​

(Jethro Tull)
​

​

Now is the solstice of the year,
Winter is the glad song that you hear.
Seven maids move in seven time.
Have the lads up ready in a line.
Ring out these bells.
Ring out, ring solstice bells.
Ring solstice bells.

Join together beneath the mistletoe.
By the holy oak whereon it grows.
Seven druids dance in seven time.
Sing the song the bells call, loudly chiming.

Ring out these bells.
Ring out, ring solstice bells.
Ring solstice bells.

Praise be to the distant sister sun,
Joyful as the silver planets run.
Seven maids move in seven time.
Sing the song the bells call, loudly chiming.
Ring out those bells.
Ring out, ring solstice bells.
Ring solstice bells.
Ring on, ring out.
Ring on, ring out.

The Stolen Child
​

​

(W.B Yeats)
​

​

WHERE dips the rocky highland
Of Sleuth Wood in the lake,
There lies a leafy island
Where flapping herons wake
The drowsy water-rats;
There we've hid our faery vats,
Full of berries
And of reddest stolen cherries.
Come away, O human child!
To the waters and the wild
With a faery, hand in hand,
For the world's more full of weeping than you
can understand.

Where the wave of moonlight glosses
The dim grey sands with light,
Far off by furthest Rosses
We foot it all the night,
Weaving olden dances,
Mingling hands and mingling glances
Till the moon has taken flight;
To and fro we leap
And chase the frothy bubbles,
While the world is full of troubles
And is anxious in its sleep.
Come away, O human child!
To the waters and the wild
With a faery, hand in hand,
For the world's more full of weeping than you
can understand.

Where the wandering water gushes
From the hills above Glen-Car,.
In pools among the rushes
That scarce could bathe a star,
We seek for slumbering trout
And whispering in their ears
Give them unquiet dreams;
Leaning softly out
From ferns that drop their tears
Over the young streams.
Come away, O human child!
To waters and the wild
With a faery, hand in hand,
For to world's more full of weeping than you
can understand.

Away with us he's going,
The solemn-eyed:
He'll hear no more the lowing
Of the calves on the warm hillside
Or the kettle on the hob
Sing peace into his breast,
Or see the brown mice bob
Round and round the oatmeal-chest.
For be comes, the human child,
To the waters and the wild
With a faery, hand in hand,
from a world more full of weeping than you.

That is the best, thanks for sharing.

 

The Roman Catholic Church is being disassembled dollar by dollar. Retribution is finally at hand. This is the heel descending to squash all that is left of the Roman Empire. Good times. Good times.

 

Who told the Goddess to shave her legs? Who told her that the big lovely of Willendorf was no longer in style, and that she had to become the twiggy sexpots in modern art? You'll never find him, because he told her while she was in Kali mode. Poor fool.

"There is something pagan in me that I cannot shake off. In short, I deny nothing, but doubt everything. "

This is my temple
As I sit under a tree it becomes my pew
As i wade through a stream it becomes my holy water
As I walk over the land it becomes the substance of my being;
I need not question where God resides, fore all of nature is my faith.

 

"Most witches don't believe in gods. They know that the gods exist, of course. They even deal with them occasionally. But they don't believe in them. They know them too well. It would be like believing in the postman."

--Terry Pratchett

 

Oh I love the Discworld books! I read that book recently, don't ask me which - I've read 5 of the books in the last fortnight! Yay Pratchett!
