Mammal Muse Thursday NIGHT TO DAY TO WINTERS WAY


Mammal Muse

 

The Holly and the Ivy
 
Oh, the rising of the sun
And the running of the deer
The shining of the winter stars
As the longer days draw near.


The holly and the ivy,
In the forest side by side,
The Lady and the Horned One
Together shall abide.

The leaping of the cauldron
And the dancing by its light.
The singing of the Solstice songs
To celebrate this night.

Our Lady is the Goddess
Who brings us joy on Earth.
Let us dance around her circle,
The circle of rebirth.

Tonight is cold and dark
But tomorrow we shall see,
The coming of the Sun-King
In light and majesty.

The moon is riding high,
'Tis the winter of the year.
Come sit by the fire and join us
Share the comfort and good cheer

Out of darkness comes the dawning
Out of Winter comes the Spring
We sing and welcome back the light
Celebrate the year's turning



Noon of the Solstice
"Cernunnos"-"Pan"-"Herm"
from Damn The Bard

Greensleeves
in Czech-o-Slovakia 

BLESSED BE TO THEE AND THINE
From Me and mine
