Speak Witch

I stand before you today guilty

Of practicing a religion older than the stones themselves

You see only difference as we all are as night to day

In that you find what is not understood as evil

 A naked dance around a fire beneath a full moon

Blasphemy so say you

For celebrating the renewal of our earth guilty I am

For celebrate I will

Earth- Air -Fire and Water given to us, to you

Do you not celebrate these gifts

In a manner you have chosen, as do I

My path is not yor path, harm none

How many have suffered your lash? Harm none

As I have gathered herbs and berries from the forest

And blended them with blessings, you call me witch

Witch I am

You blinded by fear try my honor in this court

Why fear me so, naught to yours was evil done

Live and let live

Long after this day of condemnation for a celebration of love

I will live on in spirit

The old ways shall never be destroyed by fear baskers

Knowledge replaces that fear

Learn well

A time will come when all will live in peace

and be one with the world

But today is not that day
