SAMHAIN; Vanessa Mae--The Blessed Spirits
[instrumental]
YULE; Dar Williams--The Christians and the Pagans
So the Christians and the Pagans sat together at the table,
Finding faith and common ground the best that they were able,
And just before the meal was served, hands were held and prayers were said,
Sending hope for peace on earth to all their gods and goddesses.
The food was great, the tree plugged in, the meal had gone without a hitch,
'Til Timmy turned to Amber and said, "Is it true that you're a witch?"
His mom jumped up and said, "The pies are burning," and she hit the kitchen,
And it was Jane who spoke, she said, "It's true, your cousin's not a Christian,"
"But we love trees, we love the snow, the friends we have, the world we share,
And you find magic from your God, and we find magic everywhere."
IMBOLC; Vienna Teng--Hope on Fire
When the streets are aflood like a fever
It's a holiday of the new
We're coming closer now to the truth
Gotta move, gotta choose
You've got a difference to make
Don't watch it happen again
Gotta change, rearrange
Something's bending to break
It's just a matter of when
OSTARA; E.S. Posthumus--Oraanu Pi
[instrumental]
BELTAINE; Loreena McKennitt--The Mummers' Dance
When in the springtime of the year
When the trees are crowned with leaves
When the ash and oak, and the birch and yew
Are dressed in ribbons fair
When owls call the breathless moon
In the blue veil of the night
The shadows of the trees appear
Amidst the lantern light
We've been rambling all the night
And some time of this day
Now returning back again
We bring a garland gay
MIDSUMMER; Connie Dover--Summer Before the War
Warm summer places where you could taste the country air
Chasing our shadows we'd fly
Down through the narrow lanes, racing the slow trains
And the last of an age going by
And we had a good time, and we had some fun
There was time then when we were all young
One day at Whitsun, the sea and the shore
The summer before the war
Young hearts and young souls, young minds to unfold
Knowing the untold somehow
LUGHNASADH; Jann Arden--If It Be Your Will
From this broken hill all your praises they shall ring
If it be your will to let me sing
If it be your will, if there is a choice
Let the rivers fill, let the hills rejoice
Let your mercy spill on all these burning hearts in hell
If it be your will to make us well
MABON; Blackmore's Night--Dandelion Wine
Let's laugh at the memories, and talk all afternoon
Let's remember the moments that leave us all too soon
We'll smile at the pictures still lingering in our minds
When you're reminiscing, then all you need is time
Tracing faded photographs, a scrapbooks lonely charm
Pressed flowers and dreams we had, our fingerprint on time
(BONUS TRACK; Leonard Cohen & Jennifer Warnes--Joan Of Arc)
