I’m On My (Pagan) Way

I’m on my way, from ignorance to enlightenment today
I’m on my way, from ignorance to enlightenment today
I’m on my way, to what I want from this world
And years from now, I’ll make it to the next life
And everything that I receive in the yonder
Is what I gave to the world in this life

I took a right, I took a right turning yesterday
I took a right, I took a right turning yesterday
I took the road that brought me to a Goddess
I met a God who fills my heart with gladness
I walked the woods to find the Path I’d looked for
I climbed the hill that lead me to Nature’s door

And now that I’m learning the Mysteries
I’ll have Al Jolson sing “I’m sitting on top of the world”!

I’ll do my best, I’ll do my best to do the best I can
I’ll do my best, I’ll do my best to do the best I can
To keep my feet connected to the ground, gods
To keep my heart from jumping through my mouth, gods
To keep the past, the past and not the present
To try and learn, when You teach me a lesson

And now I’m that learning the Mysteries
I’ll have Al Jolson sing “I’m sitting on top of the world”!

I’m on my way, from ignorance to enlightenment today
I’m on my way, from ignorance to enlightenment today
I’m on my way, to what I want from this world
And years from now, I’ll make it to the next life
And everything that I receive in the yonder
Is what I gave to the world in this life

I’m on my way, to what I want from this world
And years from now, I’ll make it to the next life
And everything that I receive in the yonder
Is what I gave to the world in this life
I’m on my way …

A paganised version of the original by the Proclaimers

It’s fun and cute, what can I say? Actually its pretty darn good, if I say so myself.

Imagine how cool it would be if, someday while wandering around a pagan gathering or fest, I hear someone singing it. Just because they liked it. Hehehe

I wish I could sing, well!

(and yes I know there are even more Christian versions than the original. So what? This one is better … lol)
Love, Juni

About Juniper

Most folks call me Juniper, my friends call me Juni. I am thirty years old but eternally youthful.

I have been a farmer and a city girl, a homesteader and a wanderer. I have worked in animal rescue and occult shops, art galleries, liquor stores and bead shops.

I have been practising Paganism and Witchcraft for 15 years. I am not an Elder, nor guru. I am just a messy little Hedgewitch who speaks her mind.

I hunt in thrift store jungles and gather in the wildwoods. I practice in groves and ditches, hedgerows and sea shores, basements and vacant lots.

This is my journal. It will have funny bits, rants, ramblings, ideas, poetry and more ... Take it as you please. I suggest reading with your tongue firmly in cheek.
