‘Twas the night before Solstice and all through the place
Was a bunch of old crones creating sacred space
They smudged well their Temple, a circle was cast
The Ritual was about to get started at last
They opened the Quarters with a well cared for sword
The called on the Goddess, they called on her Lord
Intents were called out by the crones; one by one
They spoke in turn, deosil, til each one was done
“I thank Thee dear Lady and Lord by her side
For being my teacher, my parent, my guide”
“I thank all my sisters who circle with me
No finer group of women will I ever see”
“Blessings to our families on this sacred night
When our Mother is resting under a blanket of white”
“To all of the witches, beyond time and space
Who’s names and deeds we can never erase”
“To our Blessed Mother, who gave forth the things
That adorn all our robes, our altars, our rings”
“We offer our gifts to the Great Spirit here
While we sing out our praises with the one’s we hold dear”
“And as we light this candle, this lovely Yule night
We send out the power from this sacred Rite”
They all held their hands, they all sung aloud
They stood with heads held high, regal and proud
They circled and circled and chanted their tune
In a Grove in the forest, under a bright full moon
And then it had ended, when all power was spent
The Witches closed shop and back to their homes they went
But one witch yelled out as they vanished from sight
MERRY YULE TO YOU ALL . . . AND TO ALL A GOOD NIGHT!
