The candles were set in the corners with care, In hopes that the Watchtowers soon would be there. We all had our robes on (as is habitual) And had just settled down and were starting our ritual When out on the porch there arose such a chorus That we went to the door, and waiting there for us Were children in costumes of various kinds With visions of chocolate bright in their minds.

A swish of tail, a movement there, What wonder has stilled to stop and stare? A place of beauty and of power, Which realms above do admire. The current moves and so do I, Behind that rock, what do I spy? A maiden of the sea before me I do see, A mermaid only she could be! Her tail, her hair of darkest night, Her flesh and soul filled with light. She begins to sing a ballad of old, Years have passed since it was told. I ...

You get their land! For every one that you do kill The scale of balance does overfill Your greed, your power comes with a price Your life within the roll of a dice So think hard before you leap to judge Those others ...

Where dark and bright Are mingled and one, Babes of one womb, And from the inmost love of her body come. And who the galaxy Of star-bright seed perceives, The impulse of might To move and waken, and start the throb of time In primal Night?

Ye must live and let live, fairly take and fairly give. Cast the circle thrice about, to keep unwelcome spirits out. To bind the spell well every time, let the spell be spoken in rhyme. Soft of eye and light of touch, Speak ye little and listen much. Deosil go by waxing moon, chanting out the baneful tune. When the Lady's moon is new, Kiss the hand to her times two. When the moon rides at her peak, Then ...
