Lammas The Seasons Turn

Bright the Moonlight
On this the seasons eve
Changes in the Wind
Tonight we perceive

Hail Magic Mother Tailtiu
In the Moonlight Fair
Flowers of Summer
Still in your Hair

Hail Blessed Father Lugh
Of the seasons Grace
Teach to us now
Thy wisdom's embrace

Grace of the Earth defend us
As we circle round
We behold the dust of ages
Blessed be

Winds of change blow around us
As we circle round
We breathe the scent of Holiness
Blessed be

Warm the Fires protect us
As we circle round
We bask in the light of security
Blessed be

Mists of Rain to cool the day
As we circle round
We drink of life that surrounds us
Blessed be

Summers fires start to dim
The Air smells of rain and wind
The Earth has weathered the summers fire
The Rains to come spell our desire

Dance we in the Moonlight
On this seasons eve
To autumn winds and cooling days
We give our thanks and praise

We take a moment to count our blessings
To count the joys of living
We take a moment to bow our heads
For all the good we have been given
We take a moment to speak farewell
To those no longer with us
We take a moment greet the children
Born in the Summers fire
We take a moment to greet the day
On this the seasons change

Hail Father Lugh
Whose time this be
Great Shinning one
Come dance with me
High on the hill tops
As the sun burns bright
Come dance with my spirit
Neath the waning summers light

Master of all trades
Please Bring thy skills to me
That my works be the best they can be

Hail the Great work before us
On this the seasons eve
With thy help blessed Father
May I make you proud of me

Grace of the Earth defended us
As we circled round
We beheld the dust of ages
Blessed be

Winds of change blew around us
As we circled round
We breathed the scent of Holiness
Blessed be

Warm the Fires protected us
As we circled round
We basked in the light of security
Blessed be

Mists of Rain to cool the day
As we circled round
We drank of life that surrounded us
Blessed be
