Eclipse Rite before Samhain
Bright the moon shadows
That softly steals the light
As the eclipse of Autumn
Runs round tonight
Greetings
Great Mother
on
this night of power
May
your love shine bright tonight
Hail
blessed Father
on
this night of shadows
May
your wisdom help us see the light
Wisdom
we seek
Enlighten
us we pray
before
the eclipse has faded away
Like
the passing of moments
day
by day does tread
So
too our lives, let not one moment be shed
Lost
like the wisps of forgotten lament
Light
high the fire
May
the warmth be blessed
We
seek the lights of wisdom
May
fires light caress
Lift
high the Chalice
Full
of Autumn wine
We
seek our souls tomorrow's
in
the reflection of thine
Pile
high the fruits of Earths bounty
May
no man know hungers bite
We
seek full bellies of enlightenment
May
the souls food be right
Hear
the leafless trees clatter
In
the wind so bright
May
we hear the song of understanding
In
the winds winter song tonight
Light
and dark the moonlight flows
Open
are we to the new and the old
A time
of changes
A
time of light
A
time to make choices
A
time to shine bright
A time
to reflect on the year gone past
A
time to seek forgiveness for trespass
A
time of deciding what is really true
A
time to settle ills and all things we rue
A time
to let go of illusions and lies
A
time to seek out wisdom that gives us the will to fly
A
time to seek our freedom
A
time to seek out what lasts
A time
to spend in the timeless moment
Between
tomorrow and the past
Hail
Great Mother on this night of nights
We
seek to be filled with your light
Show
to us the pathway
Show
to us the Right
Let
the stones of the years past pains
Be
swept from our path tonight
We
Lit high the fire
By
the warmth we are blessed
We
sought the lights of wisdom
Blessed
is the light that caressed
We
Lifted high the Chalice
Full
of Autumn wine
We
sought and found our souls tomorrow's
in
the reflection of time
We
Piled high the fruits of Earths bounty
No
man knew hungers bite
We
sought full bellies of enlightenment
We
found the souls food to be right
We
Heard the leafless trees clatter
In
the wind so bright
We
heard the song of understanding
In
the winds winter song tonight
Blessed
be
