Song for Bridie

(Children, Sopranos1)
Bridie, maiden of the fire, Goddess of the source
Fill up my heart, fill up my soul,
Help me see, help me know, help me love you true
Help me see, help me know, you are coming through

(Altos)
Spirit of swan, snake, wolf and cow
Bridie brings us all of your power
Through Celtic cross and spinning wheel
Power to change and power to heal

(Sopranos2)
Goddess of inspiration
Goddess with healing hands
Goddess of celebration
Sovereign Queen of your sacred land

Song for Artha

(Sopranos1)
Artha’s fire, lights my heart from deep inside,
Life’s desire, flame so bright, I cannot hide
You are the fire in me, burning passionately, Goddess Artha

(Sopranos2)
Mother bear, in your lair, come on out the spring is here,
Cat and hare, we call you here, bring your power to share
You are the fire in me, burning passionately, Goddess Artha

(Altos1)
Artha’s fire, Artha’s fire, flame so bright
Artha’s fire, Artha’s fire, light my light
You are the fire in me, burning passionately, Goddess Artha

The fire burns so deep in my soul
I feel the heat of the fire and I'm whole
You are the fire in me, burning passionately, Goddess Artha

Rhiannon

Rhiannon, Rhiannon, let me ride your horses
Rhiannon, Rhiannon, horses in the sky

Smile on me my lady, smile on me today, riding right beside me – let’s play

Rhiannon, Rhiannon, surfing on the high tide
Rhiannon, Rhiannon, free my wild child

Rhiannon riding on your beautiful mare, Rhiannon riding with me everywhere

Rhiannon, Rhiannon, take me to your places
Rhiannon, Rhiannon, places inside me

Smile on me my lady, smile on me today, riding right beside me – let’s play

Rhiannon, Rhiannon, show me all your faces
Rhiannon, Rhiannon, journeying with me

Rhiannon riding on your beautiful mare, Rhiannon riding with me everywhere

(I feel the fire of your passion in my sexuality
Your small white doves surround me, bringing your love to me)

Song for Domnu

(Verse1)
Domnu, Lady of the Lake, your waters flow so deep inside me (waters deep)
Red as my blood, power of my heart, set my emotions free

(Verse2)
Domnu, of the rising tides, rising and swelling in my heart (summer breeze)
Tides of emotion, warm and tender love, I’m riding on your waves

(Descant -Verse1 )
See the salmon leap, see the dolphins play in waters deep
Goddess, fill our chalice with your love

(Descant - Verse2)
See the summer leaves, feel my skin grow warm in summer breeze
Goddess, fill our chalice with your love

Flowing freely, wholly flowing, feeling fully, knowing growing

Knowing what my feelings are, I can see, I can love

Domnu, Goddess of the sea, Domnu, Goddess of the deep water
Domnu, Domnu, Domnu
Domnu, Goddess of the still lake, Domnu Goddess of the summer rain
Domnu, Domnu, Domnu

Song for Ker

(Sopranos)
Ker, Grainné, Goddess of the grain
Earth, beauty, summer sun and rain
Oh, the glory of the summer sun
And the luxury of summer rain
And the wildness of your nature sets me free

(Altos)
Lady with your grain
Lady with your corn
Lady with your stag
Lady with your horn
Lammas lazy Lammas
Lammas my lady, lady with your gold cornucopia
Full of ripening corn

Song for Banbha

Banbha, Banbha in September, mellow sun and autumn rain
Ripen fruit while we remember this year’s joy and pain.
You are the Goddess of the harvest, Mother Earth, abundant one,
For all the fruits that you’ve provided, we give thanks for every one.

Chorus:

Mother Earth, Gaia, Banbha, Moronoe
Mother Earth, show us your way.
Mother Earth, Mother of ten thousand names
Mother Earth, help us all change.

Fruit and grain and nut and leaf we gather, stash and store
And wood to feed her fire and keep our families dry and warm
Deep inside the Earth is turning, fox and badger dig your hole
Store in plenty for the winter, shelter from the coming cold

(Chorus)

Standing on your Earth, Great Mother, stillness in my soul
I pray for peace on earth, Great Mother, Banbha, heal us all
You are provider and protectress, fox and badger by your side
Through you our dreams are manifested, brought to earth from deep inside

(Chorus x 2)

Song for Keridwen

Diggin’ in the dark, diggin’ in the dark, diggin’ in the dark
To find that spark. Strike gold, in the bottom of my soul
Diggin’ in the dark, diggin’ in the dark, diggin’ in the dark
To find that spark. Strike gold, in the bottom of my soul

I'm diggin in the dark
I'm gonna find that spark
Of gold in my soul

Keridwen, stirring your cauldron
Keridwen, Goddess of the underworld
Keridwen, I'll be transformed in your darkness
Keridwen, when I die I will be born again
Goddess of the underworld
Keridwen, I'll be transformed in your darkness

Song for Danu

(Sopranos)
Mother of stone, mother of crystal, mother of pearl
Mother of bone, mother of bristle, mother of this world
Silent sound in the stillness of the night
Pierce my soul with your love, Mother of light

(Altos1)
Stone bone crone, stone bone crone, in the darkness, all alone
Light my light, in the night, very small and very bright
Light of love, in my bones, light of life leading me home
Stone bone crone, stone bone crone, light my light and lead me home

(Alto2)
Danu, Danu, Danu, Danu
Danu, Danu, Danu, Danu
Goddess of the air, flying with the eagles
Ah! Danu, bring your light
Ancestors' breath
Bring your wisdom home
