(Tune: The Beverly Hillbillies by E.Scruggs) (Lyrical adaptation by Hare)
Now listen to the words of the Great Star Mother,
In days long past called by one name or tuther,
"I am your Mammy, Queen of Earth, Air, Fire, Sea,
So you better quit your yappin' an' listen to me."
(Isis, that is...Astarte...Cerridwen)
"When the Moon is full, bright as a silver dollar,
Open up yer winder an give your Mam a hollar.
I'll hear you callin, jest as clear as a bell,
An I'll come a runnin an visit fer a spell."
(Circle, that is...Esbat...Draw down the Moon)
"Now y'all listen up, 'cause I'd hate to be a bitch,
When we have our shindigs t'aint none should wear a stitch.
Y'all will eat an' drink an' dance an' love, to show that you're free,
'Cause all acts of pleasure are sacred to me."
(Skyclad, that is...Great Rite...Cakes an' Wine)
"If you wanna know my secrets, then look in your own hide,
'Cause if what you seek ain't there, well, it won't be found outside.
The greatest Mysteries t'aint really dread nor dire,
I'm with you at the start, and at the end of desire."
(That's right, listen to your heart! Y'all will come back now, y'hear!)
