CHRISTMAS TIME IS PAGAN!

(Tune of Gloria in Excelsius Deo)

Christmas time is here again,
Decorations everywhere.
Christmas carols ringing out,
Gentle pagans, we don't care.

Chorus:
Glorious!
Christmas time is pagan!
Glorious!
Christmas time is pagan!

Modern folks all celebrate
What they learned in Sunday School.
In December, they don't know
They are celebrating Yule!
(Chorus)
Let them have their Christmas trees,
Decked in red and green and blue.
We rejoice at every one!
Christmas trees are pagan, too.
(Chorus)
Bowls of bubbly Christmas cheer,
Fill your cup and quench your thirst.
They think the tradition's theirs.
Wassail bowls were pagan, first.
(Chorus)
Every door and window bears
Wreaths of holly, wreaths of pine.
Circles represent the Sun.
Every wreath is yours and mine.
(Chorus)
Christmas lights on Christmas trees,
Candle flames burn higher and higher.
Let us cheer along, my friends,
As they light their Yuletide fire.
(Chorus)
There's a possibility
That this song is yours and mine
"Cause the tune was known to all
Back in A.D. one-two-nine.
(Chorus)

DANCING IN A WICCAN WONDERLAND

(Alexander & Aarcher)

Pagans sing, are you listenin'?
Altar's set, candles glisten.
It's a Magickal night
we're having tonight
Dancing in a Wiccan Wonderland.
CHORUS:
In a circle we can light a Yule fire,
And await the rising of the Sun.
It's the Great Wheel
turning for the new year
Loaded with abundance and great fun.

Blades held high, censer smoking.
God and Goddess we're invoking.
Through Elements five
We celebrate life.
Dancing in a Wiccan Wonderland.
(Chorus)
Queen of Heaven is in Her place.
Triple Goddess, now the Crone Face.
Above and Below
She's the Goddess we know.
Dancing in a Wiccan Wonderland.
(Chorus)
Now the God is the Provider,
Supplying game for our Fire.
Above and Below
He's the Horned One we know.
Dancing in a Wiccan Wonderland.
(Chorus)
Later on, by the Fire,
Cone of Power, gettin' higher.
It's a Magickal night
We're having tonight
Dancing in a Wiccan Wonderland!

GLORY TO THE NEW-BORN KING

1st verse Ellen Reed
Tune: Hark, the Herald Angels Sing!

Brothers, sisters, come to sing,
Glory to the new-born King!
Gardens peaceful, forests wild
Celebrate the Winter Child!
Now the time of glowing stars!
Joyful hands and joyful hearts!
Cheer the Yule log as it burns!
For once again the Sun returns!
Brothers, sisters, come to sing,
Glory to the new-born King!

Brothers, sisters, singing come
Glory to the newborn Sun!
Through the wind and dark of night
Celebrate the coming light.
Sun's glad rays through fear's cold burns
Life through death, the Wheel now turns.
Gather 'round the Yule log and tree
Celebrate Life's mystery.
Brothers, sisters, singing come
Glory to the new-born Sun!

WE THE QUEENS

(Tune: We Three Kings)

We, the Queens of Heaven and Earth
Bring you light and joy and mirth.
Love and laughter, ever after,
Giving the Sun God birth.
CHORUS:
Oh, time of wisdom, time of light
Time of Winter's darkest night
Goddess hold me, Love enfold me
Open me to Your Light.

Maiden of the Darkness, I sing
Underworlds of wisdom, I bring
Seeking, learning, Kore returning
Bringing the light of Spring.
(Chorus)
Mother of the slumbering Earth
Dreaming of the Daughter's rebirth
Candles lighted, world united
Knowing our own true worth
(Chorus)
Crone of deepest wisdom, I dwell
Deep in Time's mysterious well.
Dreaming, daring, teaching, sharing
Hecate's secret spell.
(Chorus)
