The Essence of Easter

As we journey this path

We see a new world appear

With the coming of Easter

A time I hold so dear

The Resurrection

and the Light

A time for new insight

To tear away at boundaries made

To wander through the moonlit glade

To see beyond the stars

To reach for heaven afar

This Easter, come what may

Believe life is truly gay

Happy beyond all realms

Of understanding thus far

Everlasting light

Growing within the Sight

Of pure delight

A day to think deeply about the journey

A day to make amends

A day to truly enjoy life's glory

A world without end

Believe in life everlasting

Believe in the truth and the Light

See beyond the limitations of the flesh

To a world that's really bright

Where flashes of lightning

Light up the sky

Where thunder sounds like a lion's roar

Heaven all the more

Deep inside our selves

we know of this truth

I'm sure

That somewhere out there

There's more

Than simply flesh and bone

A glorious world

To be known

Onward they cry

The Angel's bright

With swords and banners raised

To the future, To the Light

Of a misty haze

Great days

Thank you dear Lord Jesus

For this day

When you rose again

The joy it brings the children of the future

Is really safe for hum'en

It reminds how the simple things

In life do really matter

How a child's smile

Can light up the world

And all that blessed chatter

Tinkling sounds from deep within

That matter much to them

Thank you dear Lord

For your listening ear

To prayers of a loving nature

Thank you for showing us the way

To believe in life everlasting

May You go on for evermore

To create and live life pure

Thank you

Thank you

Rest assured

Life will be pure

And kept as true

As that

With gracious gowns

I hide myself

To be a wild cat

The cats and dogs

We call our friends

Enjoy this day I know

The titbits of chocolate

Nice and tasty

Shared with furry friend

Their lives like ours eternal

Spiritually sound

To God abounds

Purest energies

Thank You Lord for life itself

Thank You for solace found

Blessed be

Amen

The brightest day...

St Patty is a funny creature
His eyes as bright as the shining sun
This year was so bright you could have got a suntan!
Thanks for the Saint of all Saints
His tale is tòld as big as bold
The Eirish leprechaun way
Happy times and let there be light
Both day and glorious night
Thank you for St Patrick's day
Every given year
The Lord be strong and each day long
I'll dance a merry dance!

St George and the Dragon

There was a young man named St George
Who gallantly rode a white steed
He fought to save his damsel in distress
From the fierce old dragon in need
In need of knowing his heart
In need of knowing his soul
St George the mighty knight
Helped bring an end to world of the mole
He fought and he fought
To bring light back to darkness
To shine upon life all through
To be a true knight Takes great and good might
This special day of old
St George bears a standard on high
Red and White shine through the night
Light will behold a saviour
Truth will bear through the lies
Day after day he fought
Night bringing rest til the dawn
Saviour oh how do I thank thee
Great and Gallant thee be to behold
Thanks be to St George
Goodbye to the Dragon
Welcome to a new day of peace and light
Thanks be for the Knight!

The Twelve Days of Christmas

The Twelve Days of Christmas

The Twelve Days of Christmas is a carol with a strong meaning in the Christian faith. Each of the lines of the song has a link to Christianity. It was during the times when catholics had to hide their faith from the world around them and this song used to enable them to pray in secret. It was a song the people could sing to celebrate their belief in God. 

"A partridge in a pear tree" symbolises a belief in ONE God as the commandments teach us.

"Two turtle doves" symbolised the Old testament and the New testament.

"Three French Hens" represented the Trinity, Father, Son and Holy Spirit

"Four Calling Birds" represented the four Gospels

"Five Golden Rings" is something to do with Jesus as the sacred number of Christ is five. This is the reason we have five fingers and thumb. The number speaks of the number of Holy Wounds Christ suffered. There are other links in the Bible to this sacred number and as Christian Wiccans we know how powerful a number it be!!

"Six Geese a-laying" represents the star of David. To me personally this symbolises the holy matrimony of the Lord and the Lady as one triangle pointing up is the Lord and the other pointing down is the Lady, as a symbol the star of David is powerful to keep both Lord and Lady in your heart of prayer.

"Seven swans a-swimming" is another sacred number of the Lord which is honoured especially in Rastafari teachings and is also the sacred number of colours in the Rainbow and the major chakras

"Eight maids a-milking" as a christian Wiccan would be the Sabbats of the year. There may well be a Catholic meaning from the bible which was it's true meaning in this carol.

"Nine ladies dancing" is a funny one as 9 is the number of completion and is strongly evident in the Bah'ai faith who in my book are still strongly Christian.

"Ten Lords a'Leaping" is really of Islam as there are Ten pillars of Islam although it is in my belief that there is a Christian counterpart to this. I suppose here we mean the Ten commandments!!!

"Eleven pipers piping" is for the true biblical Apostles of Jesus as represented on a Simnel cake at Easter.

"Twelve drummers drumming" is again a sacred number we find in astrology and as the Twelve tribes of Israel or Judah!

Christmas Spirit

                                   As the light fades in the distance

Christ the Lord finds rebirth

His holy presence a blessing beyond all other

Let's gather together

Sing His praises

Guide the Light

To Our hearts and minds

Let Us sing

Let Us dance

Let Us raise a glass

To peace on Earth

To bring rebirth

For Us all

The gentle heart of the Lord Jesus Christ

Touches the deepest part of Our being

"O Come All Ye Faithful

O come let us adore Him

O come let us adore Him"

Brightest Star to humanity

Shining upon Our souls

With forgiveness Everlasting

Blessings of Light and Love

Peace in a Dove

Please shine from up above

Onto this Earth

So impure

Let Us know

We will endure!

Great Guide

Let me hide

My face from thee

Let my soul shine once more

With You oh so Sure!

Thank you for Jesus!

Thank you Lord!

Happiness in a mince pie

Fireside carols

Whatever your cup of tea

May it be

In the light of the Sun

Since time has begun

The Lord's blessing of Light

To shine through the day

While the kids play

Let Us pray

For a new day

Everlasting Lord!

Soul of Gold

Heart of Might

For evermore there shall be Light!

Blessed Be, Amen

Life is magical!

With joy in Our hearts

We sing of Love

For ALL THAT IS above

Jesus Christ, the Sacred Lord

Brings harmony to discord

Brings peace to Our souls

Bringing faith to Our hearts

Light to Our minds

Remember those who are kind

Help us to remind

All about the Lord's Grace

Welcome to His embrace

The heart of Jesus

Guided by the Holy Mother Mary

To lift Our Life

To higher planes

Great new Worlds

Opening to be explored

As the Dove flies

In Our eyes

So the Earth knows peace

Once more!

With Our Way of Life

Growing in the Light

Shining, sparkling

People changing

Forever gaining

Newness of Spirit!

Blessings!
