A coming together of friends on the earth
\nRoll rights the backdrop with all of its worth
\nA great spread of fields for all eyes to see
\nIn the comfort and shade of many a tree
\nOur circle was cast we held hands we were one
\nThe ritual you felt it, it had begun
\nAbove us a grey sky but the wind seemingly
\nSubsided we warmed to its true mystery<\/p>\n
Veronica arch druid spectacular
\nWith her well chosen words in the vernacular
\nShe puts all at ease some had not been before
\nAnd you just get drawn into the care at the core
\nThe Autumn Equinox and people could see
\nThe colours the vibrance of every tree
\nThe mid harvest festival to contemplate
\nAn abundance of crops for the forthcoming plate
\nToday we were fortunate for many came
\nNew faces and old faces and some of the same
\nAnd a hand fasting group whose energy flowed
\nA coming together clearly it showed
\nThey were happy and joyful and took on the day
\nMany had come from far far away
\nThey injected their love and their gleeful desire
\nWith their exuberance and with their fire<\/p>\n
They joined in the harvest play that was performed
\nAgain as the villagers everyone warmed
\nTo their spirit their playfulness they brought such fun
\nAnd the old harvest spirit in black he had done
\nA great job our Ollie replacing the sun
\nThe magic of harvest willingness to
\nBe part of the village and the great harvest through<\/p>\n
Then it was food and a small sip of mead
\nTo warm the old cockles and help all succeed
\nAnd whilst this was happening the old grey bard
\nWent into the circle to give us a yard
\nOf prose about why we were all there today
\nAnd it rolled off his tongue like a wet bale of hay<\/p>\n
Then it was Claudia’s turn in the ring
\nWith a crisp gentle voice she did gently bring
\nThe astrological meaning, and we
\nLearned a great deal from her actually
\nIn her autumnal colours she brought it to bear
\nThe harvest the equinox that we could share<\/p>\n
Then our arch druid resplendent in green
\nPicked up the speaking stick explaining the scene
\nWas set for each of us some words for to say
\nBe comfortable enjoy it for that is the way
\nAnd we went around the circle each soul in turn
\nFeeling the fervour and began to learn
\nThat we were all friends with love in our sights
\nAt the druidic circle within the roll rights<\/p>\n
There were children a dog and people who came
\nTo be part of the ritual and somehow to claim
\nA place on the earth and to feel its great power
\nTo share earnest thoughts and under that shower
\nOf historic relevance and, magic there
\nWe all became one in the oxfordshire air
\nWe ended with “Ho” clasped hands and let fly
\nWhat was left of our energy into the sky
\nFeeling it all and sharing it too
\nLaughter and joyfulness just bursting through<\/p>\n
THANKS YOU ALL FOR COMING IT WAS CHARGED WITH SUCH VITALITY
\nAND HAPPINESS and we look forward to see you all at Samwain <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
