Stag King!
Lord of the grove
God of the good green Earth
Beneath my feet
Hear my call
And answer me
With heart in hand
And soul on sleeve
I call to thee
Cernnunos!
Come to me!
Come to me!
*
Join me here in this place
This sacred space
By well and rock
In green grove
Of cedar and larch
Aspen and rowan
Elder and rose
Oh great god
I call to thee
Cernnunos!
Come to me!
Come to me!
*
I hear the rustling of the leaves
The chorus of bird song
The wind picks ups
And then dies again
I feel it in the Land
Rushing towards me
Sending shockwaves through my bones
The wild god!
He comes!
He comes!
*
With cloven foot he comes to me
The whole world shivers
With each sacred foot step
I tremble with terror and desire
Nipples harden and strain
Against the soft fabric of my dress
The lover!
He comes!
He comes!
*
The air is filled with a kind of thunder
I shake and shiver in anticipation
Quaking like the leaves on the trees
That surround me
Crowned seven times
With seven tines
He towers over me
The lord of the woods!
He has come!
He has come!
*
Silent as snowfall
He gazes at me with the eyes of a hunter
It is not until the wetness runs from my face
Onto my hands
Do I realise that I weep
Oh Herne!
He has come!
He has come!
*
Pale flesh
And white hide
Dark antlers
And deep eyes
The Lord has come
The hunter!
He is here!
He is here!
*
With the breath of new spring
And the promise of winter’s death
He blesses me
I bow before him
Afraid to speak
There is no need
He sees into the heart of me
Oh great god!
He is here!
He is here!
