Evocation Of Faunus
-------------------
All wild creatures hear thy cry
upon the haunted wind.
Within thy soul the Horned One
returns to Earth again.
Together thou shalt maifest
the magick of the man,
And falcons soar from out the sky
to perch upon thy hand.
The Serpent's wisdom thou shalt learn
from tip of forked tongue;
The fleetness of the white stag's flight
in starlight or in sun.
Lord of Light and Lord of Shadow --
Keeper of the Key
Which unlocks the Door of Dream
whereby men come from to thee.
Cernunnos, Tane, Horus, Pan:
by name we set thee free!
Oh Shephard of the Wild Woodland
may thou be One with He.
- Morning Glory Zell, 1974

A CALL TO LORD AND LADY
She lives and breathes upon the Earth
Her wheel spins round the hub of June
She is the web of life and birth
Her smile floats softly with the moon
Heart of life, and caring mother
Loving sister, noble princess
Firebird spirit, restless lover
Shadowy hidden sorceress
His strength is there in mountains high
His lightning flys from air and cloud
His horn heralds the wild hunt's ride
He quickens forest, roaring proud
Children's friend, protecting father
Watchful brother, noble fighter
Laughing wise one, dark magister
Player of pipes, thoughtful sheperd
Their faces many, countless names
Pan, Diana, Zeus, Astarte
Teachers from dreams, oracle's flames
Speak, and guide us within our hearts

THE WITCH'S BALLAD

THE WITCH'S BALLAD
Oh, I have been beyond the town,
Where nightshade black and mandrake grow,
And I have heard and I have seen
What righteous folk would fear to know!
For I have heard, at still midnight,
Upon the hilltop far, forlorn,
With note that echoed through the dark,
The winding of the heathen horn.
And I have seen the fire aglow,
And glinting from the magic sword,
And with the inner eye beheld
The Horned One, the Sabbat's lord.
We drank the wine, and broke the bread,
And ate it in the Old One's name.
We linked our hands to make the ring,
And laughed and leaped the Sabbat game.
Oh, little do the townsfolk reck,
When dull they lie within their bed!
Beyond the streets, beneath the stars,
A merry round the witches tread!
And round and round the circle spun,
Until the gates swung wide ajar,
That bar the boundries of earth
From faery realms that shine afar.
Oh, I have been and I have seen
In magic worlds of Otherwhere.
For all this world may praise or blame,
For ban or blessing nought I care.
For I have been beyond the town,
Where meadowsweet and roses grow,
And there such music did I hear
As worldly-rightous never know.
D.V.
