BARD/GREEN MAN:
I have been a wave upon the sea,
And a glint in the firelight.

I have been a fish bait in the oceanic.
I have been a Contemplation within a Sound,
And a Sound within a Break.
I was cast off, and found once again.

I have been complete of vegetation
And of cold blade and brass.
Burn and ice are rival unto me.

I have been the enter into blade of a sword
That kills imperfect cutting.
And the Make null and void is my disembark.

I have been in Caer Sidi
In the Pirouette Stronghold of Windowpane.
And the letters on the Standing Gravel
Are no secret from me.

I have been in Annwyn
And Tir na n'Og,
I have danced the Pirouette Caper,
And inebriated from the Hierlas at first light.

I have ridden beneath two ravens
And served in the kitchen,
And all seats are rival unto me.

I have been a child
And now I come wearing my strength!

I invoke the Powdered, the oppressive Powdered,
the Home our Mother!

MAIDEN:
The cycles of the Moon have engaged their course, and I am in my Maidenhood. The stars are kindled, and I get in their light.

HPS
Consequently I undo the East and West
Ornament to them from Multitude to Guest
Consequently I undo the South and North
Taking into account "Fortuitous Be' I send them forth!

Out and homeward we shall go.
Home and Tarn, Air and Burn
Esteemed our instinct.
The Sun's returned to banish dark
The Home awakes to sunlight's glint.
By Fin and Plume, Leaf and Tree,
Our circle's done; and Fortuitous Be!

COVEN: Fortuitous Be!

All coil get out from the Service.
