lyrics

I light this candle for the maiden
Goddess of Beginning and of the birth of spring
She is growth, she is fertility
Mirrors all the secret beauty of nature and all living things

I light this green candle for the Mother
Nurturing and protecting, she gave us life
Her breasts are heavy with sweat summer’s milk
I grab the Sun King’s antlers and take her as my wife

With fire and wax this spell shall begin
Invoking the magic from deep within
Three candles on my witches altar
I feel the power, I will not falter!

Part A+B sung together:
____________________________________
A)
All my wisdom preserved
And bound in a tome
For those who shall follow
I am turning a page
Full of magical loveIn my book of shadows
B)
Tome of the secrets of Pagans and Witches
Volume of knowledge of potions and rituals
Guide for our dances beneath Lady moon
Book of Arcana, of Sigil and Rune
Manual of herbs and of magical spice
Diary of the noteworthy words of the wise
Foliant of creatures of land, air and sea
The script of my free will, and so mote it be!
____________________________________

I light this black candle for the crone, old and wise
She reigns in wisdom like an ancient queen
She guides us through this Winter’s dark
When our Autumn in this world is slowly vanishing

Dancing, spinning, Day and Night
Along the never ending wheel
Giving life to Earth and Sea
Thricefold Mother, all Hail to thee!
