Beltane

Beltane, Beltane, Flowers Bloom
Chase away the Winter’s Gloom
Weave Bright Fabric on the Loom
Stir the Cauldron ~ Banish Doom

Sacred Hawthorn used this Night
Feed the Fires ~ Start the Rite
Open up the Veil so Thin
Reap the Wisdom from Within

God is Sun and Goddess Earth
Burst forth Spring and all Rebirth
Wash one’s Face with Dawn’s First Dew
Circle ‘round the Mighty Yew

Emerald, Garnet, Copper, Gold
Handfast Lovers we Enfold
Round the Maypole we do Turn
Laughing, Playing, no Concerns

Join this Time of Dark and Light
Welcome Love and all that’s Bright
Hair Entwined in Flowery Sheen
Beauty’s Apron full of Green

Go and Seek an Animal’s Lair
Hunt and Kill the Moonstruck Hare
Fireweed, Nettle, Mushroom, Rose
Sanctify and Clear all Woes

Beltane, Beltane comes in May
Plant the Seeds that make the Hay
Regenerate and Dance this Day
Let Life and Fertility always Stay
