Witchgirl's Warning
Twist about the
spiral, foot upon the stair,
Turn the key by widdershins
And soon you may be there-
Close your eyes and count to nine, then count to nine again
Dream a day in other times
And focus on the "when".
Turn about the spiral, climb the winding stair
Turn the key about the lock
And soon you may be there.
Raise a wand of hazel wood, just above your head,
Dipped in holy water's font
To weave a fluid bed-
Turn yourself by mystic nines, then turn yourself again
Cast a charm for other times
And fix yourself on "then".
Raise a wand of hazel wood, raise it by your head,
Dip your hand in morning dew
To form a fluent bed.
Weave yourself infinity, unseen upon the air,
Cast yourself adrift in time
Your life is your affair,
Yet think, my love, before you act, before you whirl away
Before you walk the misty road
To see a vanished day.
Turn about the spiral, climb the winding stair
Dip your hand in morning dew
Your life is your affair.
Close your eyes, remember mine, then count the days again
Cast a charm for other times
To see a vanished day.
Twist about the spiral, foot upon the stair,
Weave yourself infinity, unseen upon the air,
Raise a wand of hazel wood, just above your head,
Remember me before you go – where you may find me dead.
But- turn about the spiral, climb the winding stair
Cast a charm for other times
Your life is your affair.
