The power of the pulsing, the pounding of the drum, The power of the circle, everything merges into one. Skyclad, frenzied dancers continue round and round, A powerful magick circle of pulsating light and sound, The beat is a living thing, and it merges with the fire, It combines the dancing and the frenzy, and combines desire. Instinctively witches hear this primordial drumming song. Powered by need and inspired by mead, all night the beat goes on. Feeling power, desiring trance, the devoted dance and drum, The power of the circle, everything merges into one. Rev. Grey Willowhawk Heartland Pagan Festival, 1998 Email: greywill@kcmarket.com Honoring Grandma -- by Victoria Glynn (midnightfarm@hotmail.com) Josie of the hard bright eyes eyes known rarely to mist Josphine` of old world ways called by the Gods to be kissed. You were my strength when the world went mad the only friend I knew You wrapped me in your circle of light and the demons all withdrew. For what demons could stand in the presence of love and invocations of Mary? Even today, I call your name and my demons all grow wary. Grandmother I call you, and so you are and Maiden and Mother as well. The lessons you taught are deep in my soul the truth of my life will tell How a bird on the wing is a prayer to the ears of the Wise Ones who guide all our ways And I thank you for this, the gift of your life and shall do, beyond all my days.
