Approaching The Season of Yule Part 1

Merrie Meet

Welcome to this latest post on the A Little Bit of Magick blog page.  As we approach the Season of Yule and the Winter Solstice I thought I would set the scene with the words of a song.

The words that follow were originally a poem entitled "Spirit of Yule" from The Burbling Anthology (a limited edition publication) comprising poems written by yours truly.

The poem was spotted by a friend of mine, singer Celia Farran who contacted me to ask if I would mind if she set it to music.  Naturally I had no objections and the resulting song held the Reverbnation #1 spot in Dec 2014 / Jan 15

The Spirit of Yule

Deep in a forest on the edge of a lake
An old man is silent, decisions to take
He ponders a question yet he is no fool
How can he harness The Spirit of Yule?

People have left him to age day by day
His children deciding to move far away
And so he is asking because he's no fool
"How can I harness the Spirit of Yule?"

Alone in his lifetime his friends passed away
Summerlands' calling but just not today
The answer is somewhere, he knows he's no fool
The answer to harness the Spirit of Yule.

He suddenly wakens with thoughts rushing in
His eyes are wide open and seeing again
Dawning, enlightening no way he's a fool
He knows how to harness the Spirit of Yule.

The day is the shortest and life starts again
The spring round the corner goodbye to the rain 
The new sense of life tells him he is no fool
He's now understanding the Spirit of Yule

Rejoice in The Goddess, Rejoice in The God
Rejoice in the snow and Rejoice in the rain
Give of your heart and believe you're no fool
And then you can enter The Spirit Of Yule.

ooooOOOOoooo
