Beltane
A quickening we do feel, heading to Beltane on the wheel.
Green now steadily grows enriched with life, and all that she has sown.
Feel the sun upon your face, warming our lady in her grace. I listen to the song she has sung, full of energy from the sun.
Our lady sings with all her love, showering us with flowers blessed from above. The earth and sun come out to play, glorious in their sweet array.
Beauty in color and in form, i smile at my lady, for what she has borne.
Beltane fires lighting the sky, merriment of life, you and i.
Round in a circle a widdershins we go, following the cycle, earth's rhyme tic flow.
Peace to the quarters and all that be. Celebrating all life in this our ceremony.
Leap through the fires, and purify thee, may good fortune be received cleanse us by spark and by flame, ash is your body, and smoke is your soul, red is your heart and inspiration and energy your home. Into the fire into the flame, you power the cauldron in your domain.
Flame of truth, flame of light, we turn to you in our Beltane rite. Bodies collide, rhythm dances once more, the lovers tryst in the days of yore.
Dance with the stars, sing with the moon, bring in the May, in the morning dew.
