Three Kindreds Villanelle (The Guests Are Here)
by B. T. Newberg
Age Group: Adult
Three Kindreds Villanelle
(The Guests Are Here)
The guests are here, the guests are here!
They hie to gain our holy grove!
O Give them hail and gifts of cheer!
The kindreds call, they're coming near,
From soil and sea and sky above!
The guests are here, the guests are here!
The ancestors of olden year,
From home and hill and barrow rove!
O Give them hail and gifts of cheer!
And beast and bird and spirit peer
From loft and limb and leafy cove!
The guests are here, the guests are here!
And goddesses and gods appear,
In gown and ring and gleaming robe!
O Give them hail and gifts of cheer!
To all the guests: we host you here!
Be welcome in our holy grove!
The guests are here, the guests are here!
O Give them hail and gifts of cheer!
Author's Notes: c 2007
The Three Kindreds, a motif from ADF Druidry, are: The Ancestors, Nature Spirits, and Gods and Goddesses.
This ecstatic poem is intended to be used as a welcoming chant during ritual that invokes the presence of the Three Kindreds.
As a Naturalistic Pagan, I believe in evidence. There is no evidence that deities and magic are "real" in the most literal sense, but they may yet be moving and powerful. These poems are a tribute to the inspiration of Pagan ways.
For more information on naturalism, see HumanisticPaganism.com.
