Song of the Gundestrup Cauldron

***************************************************************************************************************

Silver Cernnunos sits in splendor
Crowned with branches of oak and hart,
Whispering a lie of immortality.
Wolf and deer gaze in wonder.

She turns the moon in her hands,
spins the bowl of blood in a silver spiral.

Silver Cernnunos looms darkly above,
Antlers stretching against the white north.
He is golden as mistletoe
Captured in oak.
He floats, a brown leaf
On silver waters.

She turns the moon in her hands
Spins the bowl of blood in a silver spiral.

A strong golden necklace
Protects the dead
On a path that is bordered
With black, waling mothers.
The Queen of Crones
Cradles the bones.
They cling
‘Til a white tree
Grows in a well.

She turns the moon in her  hands
Spins the bowl of blood in a silver spiral

Backwards she walks
Down a stairway of mirrors,
A nautilus spiraling,
A maze of ancestors…
She waits in an orchard
With a sickle of silver.

She turns the moon in her hands
Spins the bowl of blood on a silver spiral

She turns the moon in her hands
Spins the bowl of blood in a silver spiral

She turns the moon in her hands…
