Hidden Magick
(To my Phoenix Phamily & Hidden River)

Now Witches gather at a mystical site,
A place filled with magick, merriment and light.
Some are known, and some have never been,
Yet all join together to let their energies blend.

With Blessings of Samhain

As Witches fly across the moon,
The black cats sing a howling tune.
Spirits dance in the night so fare,
As magick and wonder fill the air.

A piece of wood,
some rope and skin,
heart and hand,
bring out the life within.

Be you dancer or drummer,
or just passing by
the rhythm gets to you
and you just have to try.

It’s a spiritual journey
like no other
it calls to everyone,
both sister and brother.

It’s the heartbeat of the Mother
that creep’s into your soul,
the rhythm of life,
keeps the community whole

David Griffin

The fire crackles and sparks
The drums tap and boom and thump
The dancers spin and whirl and step
to the rhythm of the drums.

A tiny child ventures into the firelight
Spinning and whirling and learning to step
to the rhythm of the drums.

Older, taller dancers step around the child,
Or pause to dance with the child for a few
beats of the rhythm of the drums.

Older eyes, taller dancers, keep watch and gently
turn the whirling child away from the edge of the fire,
and the child learns the rhythm of the drums.

An aged dancer ventures into the firelight
Slowly spinning, slowly whirling, slowly stepping
to the rhythm of the drums.

Younger dancers see the slower steps and dance
aside so as not to bump a shaky balance;
Extend a hand to steady a hesitant step . . .
A step that moves to every third beat of the
drums . . . but a step that has not forgotten
the rhythm of the drums.

Dancer and Drumman

juh-juh ga-dung BOP
The fire still burns in my eyes

frap-tap-tap the drumman played,
and I danced, I tranced...

Frap-tap-tap juh-juh
I followed his yellow brick road and visited the place where rhythm lives.
Bi-gee di-gee-dung wuh-ga-duh-ga

Frat-atat-tat tap..... tap.....
fire-dancer juh-ga....
smoke-song rak-rak-kathaah
drumman-rhythm frat-a-tat-tat
wrapped in the spiral....
