about

"Speak Thou, whose massey strength and stature scorn
The power of years – pre-eminent, and placed
Apart to overlook the circle vast –
Speak, Giant Mother!"

William Wordsworth



"Mother of fertility, on whose breast lieth water, whose cheek
is caressed by air, and in whose heart is the sun’s fire, womb of all
life, recurring grace of seasons, answer favourably the prayer…"

Magick in Theory and Practice
Aleister Crowley

lyrics

(i) From the Scented Wildwoods

At the flowering of spring,
The sabbat round he entered,
The youthful one, lusting free -
The embodiment of instinct,
In tune with sweet Nature,
The Light of the greenwood eaves.

Beth-Luis-Nion! (Birch, Rowan, Ash!)
Uath, mo chroidh! (Hawthorn, my heart!)

Thus, spoke the goddess,
Whence light equals darkness;
The seed within her growing…
And though their coupling complete,
The hunter horned he remained,
The scented wildwoods roaming…

The fires of Beltaine, the marriage fires,
Blazed across the land;
The clinnad sang the Horned forth,
To take his chosen bride,
To celebrate his antlered youth,
The lover for the May Queen,
To be the father for the child within,
The rosiest bud in the green.

Beth-Luis-Nion!
Uath, mo chroidh!
