New moon before Imbolc
The weather turns, the fire burns
A new day comes to the light
Winter slumber
tosses in bed, the land soon to be awoken
Hail Great Mother
your labor we honor
To bring forth
your son of light
Newborn son of
light
We hail thee
and greet thee
Great Stag of
the greening soon to come
To the North we
honor
Earths shivering
awakening
Hail and blessed
be
To the East we
seek
Winter winds
still to blow
Hail and blessed
be
To the South we
yearn
Suns light we
call thee
Hail and blessed
be
To the West we
turn
Ice gives way
to flowing water
Hail and blessed
be
Tonight we seek
for harmony
A balance of
day and night
We look for the
moment of dawning
We hunt for way
to make things bright
Call we now to
break the chill
of mind body
and soul
Frost King ease
thy hand
Let the light
come forth from the gloom
All the nameless
fears in the night
We bring now
to Kali to make them right
To thy blade
go our cares and woes
Dark Mother of
night we send you our foes
Beat the drum
loud, feel earths heart pound
In the mud beneath
your feet
Call down the
power of the cosmos
To feed the land
with its heat
Renew, rejoice,
sing out with your voice
Let the call
be heard
Let not fears
in the dark of night
Still your call,
it is your right
Peace we call
down on the earth tonight
Let all men know
the story
We join our hands
the circle round
To raise them
up in glory
Soon the Bride
will come to stay
Sweet Bridget
we are ready to greet ye
Let all unions
feel thy sway
That all hearts
be as one we pray thee
Shake off the
cares that gloomy night brings
Rise up your
heart and feel its power
For love is the
greatest gift of all
We stand in the
center of its bower
Hail blessed Mother
your children have gathered
To renew our
sprits and dedication
We open our souls
to thy loving grace
May you find
us fit for consecration
Hail and blessings be
To the North we
honored
Earths shivering
awakening
Hail and blessed
be
To the East we
sought
Winter winds
still to blow
Hail and blessed
be
To the South we
yearned
Suns light we
call thee
Hail and blessed
be
To the West we
turned
Ice gives way
to flowing water
Hail and blessed
be
