Green Rite
Breathe deep the
smell of flowers
That wreath around
my head
Bright the sunlight
pours
Down through
the trees were the altar is set
First herbs and
fruits on the table be laid
All honor to
the Mother in this precious glade
Hail to the Fire
Of Bright sunshine's
blessed
Let us bloom
neath thy protection
like the flowers
on the crest
Hail to the Waters
of the river of life
Let us be washed
of all ills and strife
Like the rocks
of your riverbed
May you protect
the rite
Hail to the Earth
Of so green and
and full of life
Like the flower
heads that bloom
Please thou Protect
us this night
Hail to the Air
Sweet breezes
that blow
The green grass
dances with thy rush
Protect us now
with thy gentle touch
Hail Mother of
Sunshine
Great Mother
Amaterasu
Hail to the light
that shines
May we ever depend
on you
Hail the Green
Man
The forest come
to life
The trees to
speak with a whisper
The leaves to
wink their colors bold
Soft footed the
Green Man walks among us
Hail Xochiquetzal
Goddess of love
and beauty
Keeper of Passions
fire
Flower faced
lover of delight
Comes the flames
of desire
Gather the light
shine
To brighten the
darkest rain
Gather the Green
leaves of spring
To feel the life
force roam
Gather the love
and laughter
To bring the
power home
Heal we say with
the bright suns light
All ills and
woes take flight
Heal we say with
herbs delight
Let all bane
fall under its sway
Heal we say with
the power of love
To make this
a better day
Hail to the Fire
Of Bright sunshine's
blessed
We bloomed neath
thy protection
like the flowers
on the crest
Hail to the Waters
of the river of life
You washed us
of all ills and strife
Like the rocks
of your riverbed
You protected
the rite
Hail to the Earth
Of so green and
and full of life
Like the flower
heads that bloom
Thou Protected
us this night
Hail to the Air
Sweet breezes
that blow
The green grass
dances with thy rush
Protected us
with thy gentle touch
