Pagan Ways

 

Upon my altar a crystal ball,

An athame, candles and chalice tall,

A pagan goddess, a pagan god,

All laid upon my altar cloth,

A bell to help me celebrate,

Offerings placed upon a plate,

My pagan tools I now display,

How I love my pagan ways.

 

I’ll cast my circle upon the floor,

Then call upon the quarters four,

Earth, Fire, Water, Air,

The God and Goddess may join

me there,

I may sing, or I may dance,

I may even dare to chant,

As pagan music softly plays,

How I love my pagan ways.

 

My ritual over, now time to seek,

 

I’m feeling light upon my feet,

I’ll walk among the trees and plants,

And search for berries upon the branch,

I’ll feel the breath of natures kiss,

At one with all is total bliss,

I wish I lived in bygone days,

To learn first hand these Pagan Ways.
