Eagerto reach the meadow unseen
Claspinghands and running
Gigglingas backpacks bounce on their backs
Brimmingwith newfound love and joy
Cherishingthe wisdom of the pagan past
Twoyoung girls breathe in the flowery scent
Readyto weave magic on a full moon night
Thesky turns dark, dotted with twinkling stars
Themeadow gathers shadows familiar yet strange
Themoon glides upward, a patchy ball of yellow, cream, and white
Thegirls stand in a faerie circle, waiting for the silent signal
The night bird calls, awake for a day-long sleep
Handsclasped, spine bent backward
Barefeet grounded, toes digging into the soft earth
Thegirls call their ancestors, faeries, and witches
Magicdust gathers, madly swirling around
Firefliessparkle and dim, dashing about at random
Theblessings descend, one after another, in abundance –
Mayyou always have the power to follow your heart’s desires
