The Wiccan Book of Days for Monday, March 4

On this day in Ireland and Wales, the annual Feast of Rhiannon is celebrated by many Wiccans in honor of Rhiannon, the Celtic/Welsh Mother Goddess who was originally known as Rigatona (the Great Queen) and identified with the Gaulish mare-goddess Epona.

On this date in ancient Greece, an annual ritual called the Anthesteria was held to honor the souls of the dead (the Keres). The ritual lasted for three days.

On this date in the year 1968, the Church of All Worlds (founded by Otter Zell) was formally chartered, thus becoming the first federally recognized church of Neo-Paganism.

The Maiden’s Song

---

The Maiden feels a yearning
to know a glow within
Tis the cycle of the seasons
about to start again

She dances in the moonlight
She sings and leaps with joy
She dances in the Moonlight
and calls her Darling Boy

He’s now a mighty hunter
A warrior swift and strong
Protector of the animals
He joins her in the song

She dances in the moonlight
She sings and leaps with joy
She dances in the Moonlight
and calls her Darling Boy

The Lovers come together
their passion begins to burn
the joining of their bodies
ensures the Wheel will turn

She dances in the moonlight
She sings and leaps with joy
She dances in the Moonlight
and calls her Darling Boy

Within the seed is planted
and soon it will grow true
as it has since the beginning
life is born anew
