Solstice Night: A Celebration of Light

Gather near the hearth tonight O children of the ancient light the longest night

has come once more as winter breathes across the door

we bind the log with holly's thorn A charm to see the sun

reborn and whisper spells in fragrant pine to call the dawn across

the line Turn the wheel o turning sun dark

to light the old begun Raise the yulefire bright and deep

Wake the sun from winter's sleep Sing the songs our elders knew our forest gods

and morning's hue Bless the land and bless our kin Warm the hearth
