Yule Night Lullaby

Yule Night Lullaby      

        

When the wind blows through the pine boughs,

may it rock you fast asleep,

fill your dreams with velvet visions,

fill your heart with true belief.

I will sing of winter journeys

as the moon rides through the sky,

sing a song of ancient wisdom,

sing a Yule Night lullaby.

 

May the secret of the Holly

show the way through sacred stones,

give you courage and conviction,

give protection as you roam.

As the harp strings turn the Great Wheel,

spinning stars in veiled designs,

bringing music with their magick,

bring a Yule Night lullaby.

 

Now the Stag joins with the Archer

so his arrows bring no harm,

as the Green Man and the woodlands

hold you softly safe and warm.

May the Goddess lead you lightly

with the Sidhe and all the Fae,

through the labyrinth of the Solstice

with a Yule Night lullaby.

A Song for the Faeries

I wrote this song to celebrate the incredible experience of the Fairie Festival—enjoy!

Spoutwood Faerie Song

Come out, sweet Faeries, come out to play,

To celebrate Spring and the month of May.

The Green Man proclaimed a Festival day

For frolic and fun, both Mortals and Fae.

 

We’ll gather the Tribes from far and near:

Woodland and River will surely appear,

Mountain and Meadow, their air so clear

Bid welcome to Nature’s royalty dear.

 

Flitting and feasting and bubbles for some.

The Green Men protect and bless as they roam.

Fiddle and harp and pipes and drum

Delight King and Queen and all those who come.

 

The Bards will tell tales and stories of old:

Courage, adventure, and journeys unfold,

Copper bells gleaming and fortunes foretold

As Beltaine fires flame and turn all to gold.

 

“Kubiando” will echo all through the glade,

Music and dancing and wings arrayed,

Embers and Magick to light our way.

So come out, dear Faeries, come out and play!
