• Song I wrote for the Litha ritual today. Also I am posting the prolouge to my book. Hope ya'll like them

   

  Refrain:

  Goddess, let me, sing your song

  The wheel turns, I keep moving along

  Sunshine, I can feel your engergy

  Its a truth thats inside of me

  To set me free

   

  This short life, so much I wanna do

  The infinite I can feel through you

  Many choices, but just one path

  With times to cry and times to laugh

  I can't say just how I know

  All I can be and how I'll grow

  But all I need is the strength of love

  And the wheel keeping time with the sun above

   

  Refrain

   

  Take all the love thats in my heart

  To change the world... well its a start

  What can I do but aim too high?

  If I fall I'm still in the sky

  I've come so far, but this I know

  I will always have more miles to go

  And when it comes time for me to sleep

  I entrust my love with my soul to keep

   

  Refrain

  Wheel turn

  And fire burn

  And set me free

  Prologue

   

  My -no- the Knight's horse reached a gallop and the world seemed to stretch out infinitely for a moment. I breathed a sigh of relief. A new world will do me some good. The gently rolling plain abruptly became a rocky hillside. The horse careened forward, going to its knees, and I shifted my weight a second too late to compensate. A sorry excuse for a patch of grass rushed towards me as I struggled to twist into a position in which I could protect my head from the fall.

  The crash knocked the wind out of me and I laid there panting for a few minutes before I dared to move. Then I sat up gingerly just in time to watch the Knight's horse disappear back over the ridge we arrived on. I was certain that even if I limped over the rise the horse would be long gone. I sighed. It's her horse. Why shouldn't it go back to her?  Taking a deep breath, I assessed my injuries. I had acquired a few scrapes and bruises on my arms and legs, and a nasty gash on my left shoulder, but for the most part I was intact. Then I surveyed my new surroundings.

  I appeared to be in a courtyard of sorts, though the fact that it laid on a hill was odd. A single building, tall, brick, wrapped around the area like a three sided square. Bits of grass fought their way through the rocky soil, but other than that and a few sorry trees there was little vegetation. A handful of windy paths marred the grass and people strolled along them, paying me no mind.

  No one seemed to have noticed my sudden arrival. No magick, I concluded. I'll need to blend. I found a female whose apparel seemed interesting and studied it for a moment. Then I focused on my own garb, subtly bending the light around it to change its appearance. Small touches, it was only an illusion, a quick fix until I could integrate myself into their society. My neckline scooped down, sleeves vanished leaving just a thin strip of cloth holding the shirt up over each shoulder. The tails on my tunic became a skirt, a faded blue of some rough looking fabric. My leggings were paler, tighter. My brown boots were replaced with black, higher, and with laces instead of buckles. Satisfied with my new attire, I had begun to get to my feet, when a voice from behind gave me a start.

  "Are you ok?"
