It is Samhain...The Night of Shadows.
The Circle is cast around the fire,
And through the darkness, we glance,
For the veils are thin, in this sacred night!
Ancient voices around us,
Whispering old and forgotten songs,
While we dance the Spiral Dance,
And there She comes,
the Lady of the Gate!
Power and compassion evolving us,
As adark but comforting wave.
Beautiful  Queen of the Dark Night!
With Her mantle of raven's feathers,
And eyes deep with wisdom.
Cerridween!

She opens Her arms,
in a welcoming embrace,
We feel around us the flow of love,
Of he Eternal Grace.
And then we hear Her voice,
Melodious and grave,
That speaks from inside our soulk
As an echo ina cave.

Blessed Daughters of My Heart,
I hear your prayers from afar.
And that is why I came tonight!
Do no despair when the times are hard!
Do not abandon the Path you found!
For time has come for My return,
And you, Loved Ones, shall open the way,
Singing my names as the ancients bards.

I am always with you, do never douby that!
I am the Old and the Yound One!
I am the Keeper of the Gate!
I am the Master of Time!
I am the Dark Goddess of Death!
I am the Bright Goddess of Dawn!
I am the One!
I am Cerridween!
