~The magic is true.

Who ever said that pigs couldn't fly
that it didn't rain cats and dogs down from the sky?

That witches weren't real and fairies were make believe
that Santa Claus didn't shimmy down the chimney?

Let it be said and let it be heard
that elephants have wings
and Shamans can transform into birds.

Don't let them take the mystery from you
don't let them tell you what "should" be true.

You make the rules, you light the lights
and if you really look you'll see magic in the night.

Now listen here friend and listen real close
I have seen those witches and I've come face to face with ghosts!

The mystery is real, the magic too
Look close for yourself, you'll find it to be true.

~ I am the witch from the wood.

I am the witch from the wood
come to stand out in the rain
and
cleanse my self from all the sins that have stuck to me like dirt and grime.

I am the woman from the wood
come to dance on this tabletop of rock
and
leave all my shackles at my feet and let the freedom pour in.

I am the mother from the wood.
come to nurture myself in the water
and
let my body be healed by the mother of all who is Earth.

I am the child from the wood.
come to stand in awe of all that is beautiful and amazing
and
to let myself breathe utter and complete freedom.
