Moon of Silver
(To the tune of We Three Kings)

Come thou Lord, the Newborn sun
Come sweet mother, Holy one
Praise we sing thee, Love we bring thee
As ever shall be done

Chorus
Oh moon of silver, Sun of gold
Gentle lady, Lord so bold
Guide us ever, failing never,
Lead us all in ways of old

Maiden, Mother, ancient Crone
Queen of Heaven on thy throne
Praise we sing thee, love we bring thee
For all that you have shown

Chorus
Oh moon of silver, Sun of gold
Gentle lady, Lord so bold
Guide us ever, failing never,
Lead us all in ways of old

Lord of Darkness, Lord of Light
Gentle brother, King of Might!
Praise we sing thee, Love we bring thee
On this Solstice Night!

Chorus
Oh moon of silver, Sun of gold
Gentle lady, Lord so bold
Guide us ever, failing never,
Lead us all in ways of old

Christmas Time is Pagan
(To the tune of Gloria)

Christmas time is here again,
Decorations every where
Christmas carols ringing out
Gentle pagans we don’t care

Chorus
Glorious
Christmas time is pagan
Glorious
Christmas time is pagan

Modern folks all celebrate
What they learned in Sunday school
In December they don’t know
That they celebrate Yule!

Chorus
Glorious
Christmas time is pagan
Glorious
Christmas time is pagan

Let them have their Christmas tree
Decked in red and green and blue
We rejoice at every one
Christmas trees are pagan too

Chorus
Glorious
Christmas time is pagan
Glorious
Christmas time is pagan

Bowls of bubbly Christmas cheer,
Fill your cup and quench your thirst.
They think the traditions theirs.
Wassail bowls were pagan first

Chorus
Glorious
Christmas time is pagan
Glorious
Christmas time is pagan

Every door and window bears,
Wreaths of holly wreaths of pine
Circles represent the sun.
Every wreath is yours and mine

Chorus
Glorious
Christmas time is pagan
Glorious
Christmas time is pagan

Christmas lights on Christmas trees,
Candle flame burn higher and higher,
Let us cheer along my friends
As they light their Yuletide fire.

Chorus
Glorious
Christmas time is pagan
Glorious
Christmas time is pagan

There’s a possibility
That this song is yours and mine
‘Cause this tune was known to all
Back in A.D. one-two-nine!

Chorus
Glorious
Christmas time is pagan
Glorious
Christmas time is pagan

The song is sung to the tune of Amazing Grace. Enjoy!
Verna Knapp

Amazing grace, how sweet the Earth
that bore a witch like me!
I once was burned, now I survive,
was hung and now I sing.

T'was grace that drew down the moon
and grace that raised the seas.
The magic in the people's will
will set our Mother free.

We face the East and breathe the winds
that move across this earth.
From gentle breeze to hurricane
our breath will bring forth the change.

Turn towards the South and feel the fire
that burns in you and me.
The spirit's flame will rise again
and burn eternally.

We greet the West, our souls awash
in tides of primal birth.
Our tears and blood, our pain and love
will cleanse and heal the earth.

Reach into the North and know your roots
down deep ancestral caves.
We find the wisdom of the Crone,
Of circles we are made.

Amazing earth, enduring life,
from death into rebirth.
T'is earth I am and earth I love
and earth I'll always be.

Amazing grace, how sweet the Earth
that bore witches like we.
We once were burned, now we survive,
were hung and now we sing.

Goddess bless, so mote it be,
Our magic spirals on.
Merry meet and merry part
and merry meet again.

I believe there are other variations to this song, this is the only version I have.

We All Come From the Goddess

We all come from the Goddess,
And to her we shall return
Like a drop of rain
Flowing to the Ocean.

We all come from the Horned One,
And to him we shall return
Like a flash of flame
Ascending to the heavens.

Hoof and Horn, Hoof and Horn -
All that dies must be reborn.
Vine and grain, vine and grain -
All that falls shall rise again.

I might be able to try to sing it for you, if you have MSN messanger and the connection isn't acting up. I don't know where to find the music for it though.

Once again, there may be variations on this song. (And please don't ask me how to pronounce some of these).

Isis, Astarte

Isis! Astarte!
Diana! Hecate!
Demeter! Kali!
Inanna!

Neptune! Osiris!
Merlin! Manannon!
Helios! Siva!
Horned One!

Pan! Poseidon!

yeah I have MSN and it is pretty good most of the time, I would really like to learn it. It is so hard to learn pagan music because all you can find most of the time are the lyrics

This song is just funny, but no one get insulted, okay? My friend sings it a lot, and says it's a real pagan camp song, but I don't really know.

Jesus hates me, this I know,
For the bible tells me so. (in some versions "For the high priestess tells me so")
The Christains scream, yell, and curse,
Who gives a damn? We were here first.

Like I said, just a funny, kinda cynical song.

I think I'll sing the pagan versions around christmas time. I like them. I'm sure my family will approve.right...

So glad I finally got accepted! So many threads I've been wanting to post on, this being one of the top ones.

Well, this is a song I found in an anthology called "The Green Man: Tales from the Mythic FOrest" in a story called "Among the Leaves So Green". One of the main characters sings this song. The story didn't give complete lyrics, so I just used what it gave me and put it to music. It doesn't need a specific tune though, I just came up with mine because I read the story about 6 times. Anyway:

For I shall wed a bold young knight,
Come from the east, so fine and grave.
And he will dress me in ring of gold,
And I shall be his own true love!

Then he shall take me for his bride,
And I shall live well as a queen,
And like the stars, his armor all
Shines in among the leaves so green.


It was the closest thing to a pagan song I could find, and I sing to myself so much, I needed something to remind myself of my chosen path.
