The Holly god of Christmas will ride his sled tonight The Fat Old Elf called Santa Will Hold the reins so tight His gallant mystic reindeer that number sabbats eight will pull his chariot across the sky while excited children wait The chimney is his entrance into the house we're told where Fire is his element and the sacred hearth beholds The altar of the pagan the solstice of dark days where merriment and presents are exchanged in votive ways The many gods of nature whose birth they commemorate on the 25th of December with Festive Food and plate The Shaman of the winter is praised around the world For giving out his presents to happy boys and girls The Norse upon the northland have leprechauns called elves who hammer out their handy craft and set them on the shelves And when the earth is spinning and the trees are brought inside to decorate and adorn them and looked upon with pride The setting is symbolic of the gods of ancient lore and how they were once worshipped as they had been years before It's the holiday of Nimrod who was the First born King to deck the halls of Babylon with bells that we still ring The Fire god of Hestia the Fireplace divine The Flames of Vesta's memory is what you'll often find Where the stockings will be hanging waiting for their god The Thor of Famous legend will leap with just a nod We sing the many carols that tell this ancient Lore but seldom do we listen to the story that she bore The tinsel and the glitter we place upon the tree so we can hear the spirits move like wind upon the breeze We crown the Tree we worship with a star or angel breath We light the electric candles to show the hidden depth Of the god who lives within the tree the evergreen so high while all the other trees are brown this one will never die We bend and place our presents as we lean upon our knee as an offering to appease the god that lives within the tree The Mistletoe is sacred to the Druid Celtic priests and the holly god called Saturn rejoices with it's wreath Some say it is romantic to gather round the tree Some love to get engaged they say on this day of Revery The couple will be kissing neath the vine of mistletoe and few will know the meaning of the things they do and so This sacred Feast of Mithra The Yule of Odin's path became the catholic mantra which we now call The Mass Yes the Mass of Christ - called ChristMas Holds the thrill of Ancient Ways They say it is the Birth of Christ Who was born in warmer days Yes the world is held in an ancient spell that sparkles and yet it cries for it ignites and it excites the wonder of our eyes. ````````` |
