The Pagan Cycle

Ancient

Eurus, we call upon the east wind 
Notus, we call upon the south wind 
Zephyrus, we call upon the west wind 
Boreas, we call the north wind 
Spirit mother hear thy pagan son 

On winter solstice night 
Waxing mon reveals a new dawn 
(The) dark king transforms to infant light 
The cycle of ancient times has begun 
IO'EVOHE we are reborn 

Candlemass brings the (growing) child sun 
The triple goddess comes shining down 
As witches sing with inspiration 
Spiral dancing round and round 

The spring equinox rises high 
(The) dark maiden returns to us 
The woods abound with faery goblins 
Pan performs his songs of lust 

Rejoice in the beltane sabbat 
When lilac performes this magickal night 
Naked we leap the sacred fire 
And feast upon fruits and violet wine 

On the day of summer solstice 
The sun king will embrace the litha queen 
And perish in the wake of Lughnasad 
So may a splendid harvest be reaped 

On Mabon we follow the lord of shadows 
The empty season is upon us 
Lady autumn blows leaves of sadness 
Chanting as our offerings turn to dust 

Ancestor wraiths ride on Samhain night 
To proclaim the mystery of passing 
Wearing a death cloak smiles the waning king 
Let us see what the future will bring 

Death is rebirth 
The end brings new beginning 
Ever turning 
The wheel of the Pagan cycle 

Anadia... Klephera... Nuit... Mercury... Hestia... 
Horus... Brigit... Vulcan... Aphrodite... Ea... Isis... 
Akasha... IO EVOHE!
