My name is Arthur, I am he,

Once and Future, born to be.

Celtic Chieftain, Knight of Old,

I am the story as foretold.

Loyal Knights, must come to me,

Bowing to their destiny.

Where 'er we find them, we'll right wrong,

For this must always be our song.

The Cauldron and the Cross unite,

Christian and Pagan, join our fight.

To re-unite the Celtic creed,

In it's time of greatest need.

From the Rallying Song (c) Arthur Pendragon 1987

There are tales, and there are stories,

Of Arthur and his Knights.

Of Standing Stones and Circles,

And ancient Battle sites.

But the place that figures most, is not a place at all,

'tis Castle Camelot, without a Castle wall.

You'll not find it on a map, or posted on a sign,

But it's there wherever we gather and partake of the wine.

From Castle Camelot

And its here and now, Stonehenge, Summer Solstice,

Come and Join Us.

The Druids Oath

We swear by Peace and Love to stand,

heart to heart and hand in hand,

Mark, Oh Spirit, and hear us now,

confirming this our sacred vow!

Lammas

The mighty wheel of the year has turned upon us once more,

And I give thanks for the bountiful harvest.

All hail the Sun, whose golden rays have bestowed magic

upon the growing fruits of our lands.

All hail the Sun, He has ripened our fields

And blessed us by grain without number.

This joyous time is the first harvest of Lammas!

So All hail the great Sun And He will come again.

And now all about us as days do shorten,

We stand ready for the dark time ahead.

With corn stored in abundance against the cold darkness of winter

We face the bleak hardship without any dread.

So mote it be!

Celestial Elf Heart Songs & Poems

High Elven tasks I have in mind,

To reach beyond, above divine,

To establish perspectives true and fine,

Of hearts now centered, outside of time.

Of dancing souls, both thine and mine,

Starclad in moonshine, insight sublime,

To share the song of sacred circle,

As Far life whirls in joy internal.

To learn the truth of being free,

As love's light flows eternally,

To give of patient, gentle care,

As ultimate soul smiles through our stare.

Awake and laughing with delight,

look now and celebrate the endless height,

The softest brightest purest light,

The path that knows no end or start,

The secret of the opened heart.

Perfect shapes are everywhere,

In the Sky and in the Air,

Dancing Lights transforming Lives,

The mysterious motion of eternities Rise.

Golden dappled tree leaves shine,

As this years paths they leave behind,

Crossing thresholds to Divine,

Transcending Earths Harvest Sublime.

Of colours, smells and sights so fine,

The Season passes on its way,

A Herald to a brighter Day,

Autumnal Magic shows the way.

Dressed in Natures richest Hues,

The Sacred Life sings through sky blues,

As Winter gently calls to All,

Tree Leaf and Flower Ascend to be reborn.

Gifted then with second sight,

The Natures Robes are sheer delight,

And offer now to you who hear,

Your Chariot to Infinity, the time is here.

It doesent matter where you think you are,

Or where you think you've been,

Or where you plan on going,

Or the wonders you have seen,

It doesent matter wether rich or poor,

Or True/False, Or Inbetween,

As Natures Crown you'll allways wear,

Invisble, Unseen.

Simplicity,

To live,

With simplicity, dignity, humour,

Abandoning luxury,

Remembering humility,

Generating goodwill.

To learn,

With Wisdom and Love,

Understand Life's impermanence,

Nurturing gentle compassion for all.

To practise,

With effortles serenity,

Peacefully accepting every changing moment,

As the path of freedom.

These joy's beyond compare,

Let them guide us everywhere.

Shimmering in,

The Secret heart of Golden Flower,

The Timeless Soul of Endless Oak,

The Shinning Light of Morning Star,

Look within, it's what you are.

All about You, They,

The Everybody of Everyday,

Wreathed in darkbright wonders curling,

Ellusive halfhopes endless turning.

With Star Blessed Heart and Laughing Eyes,

With Gentle Grace and Simple Sighs,

Steadfast Lightly, Stepping Brightly,

Uncurl the Sacred Ground of Being,

Singing In the Song of Seeing,

Seeding Freedom every Breath.
