She Is the Altar

On her flesh moonlit he pours lavender in a cup
She sprawls in a flowerbed
He anoints her in rosewater
She is a goddess in his eyes
A daughter of the gods

Imbolg

|

|
O glorious imbolg
pregnant with the bright vernal dawn in the womb of earth
sprout profusely and give birth to may
I succumb soporous in ebondusk under budded rosids
swallowed up by meadows bloom

Fairies' Reward
03:36
|
|||
|
Beneath shadows and stars they are dancing
to music that haunts those who hear it
Between night and day the bridle's ring
The fair folk among us passing unseen
Seek them at midnight
Seek them at dawn
Seek them with courage
Their blessing to earn
Sleep on a hill
and for your reward
you're dead mad
or a poet by morn
To bless and curse is their power
aid, heal and help those who please them
bring illness and ill luck when annoyed
we give to earn friendship
and harm to avoid
Starlight and moonlight, shadow and song
blessing and cursing, a dangerous game
The gifts are abundant, but only the brave
will find their reward in cold morning light

quaking aspen dryad eyes quietly watch
as I offer rose crystals
and scry-gaze into a dark river mirror
for a spryght
I do believe that faeryfolk live in these oaks
as I wander over to them for a visit
strange symbols I follow
alongside a narrow path through the wood

Silver Tongued
01:49
|
|||
|
shower in lunar light
my amulet engraven upon silver under the wax moon
shivers of delight claw up my flesh
crush leaves on my skin
sweet exhaustion with wild abandon
honeyed and silver tongued
I walk into the lake
and my body afloat draws unto me magic afoot
with sorcery in my eyes

Wisht & Hood
04:42
|
|||
|
climbing roses in profusion bloom
shadowy ivied canopy of beauty
wild doorway spellbound
flowery accoutrements for a daydream
set in heaven on earth
fortune's vernal gifts
a feast for the eyes
blend sun-ripened fruit
brim with golden peaches
crimson plums and luscious berries
in a witch's kitchen
a spell of daffodil under sky euphoria
with vanilla lobelias and violet petunias
a dark cup to capture the moon
old besom to open a door
green ribbon on a rose-stem
candlelight through larkspur
visions in smoke of coltsfoot
soothed by a lunar tea
baubles on blackthorn hung
visit bluebells on oak root grow
dressed of velvet red-bloodied and a green shawl
a lamp to light my crooked path
way-veil betwixt of dusk enshroud

mountains shall rain new wine
hills shall flow with milk
rivers shall flow with water
and a fountain shall spring up
to water the valleys
sons and daughters shall prophesy
old men shall dream dreams
young men shall see visions
handmaidens do speak
under an oak I've hidden a stone
the stone has heard my secret prayers
I shall be as the harp of god
dancing around the flower boughs of the garden
I who bear the arc in my body
|
||||
10. |
||||
|
by honeyed tongue and daisied dress
brandy in my elf-cup under weeping cherries
love as sweet as honey-sweet
stripped and rain-showered
bathed in silver-moon
a dream is a wish
by witchblood and faerysight

12. |

|
under night's black spell
in rapture and silvermoonbeams gleam
within a ring viridescent
enveloped by a threshold of fog
I sought drakes in the flame
I sought visions in the fire

Magickal Friends
02:07
|
|||
|
magickal friends of my childhood
I am happy you are still with me
I remember all those moments together
I call you all closer to me
I listen for your voices
