Turn The Wheel

from Wee Folk Stomp by Ginger Ackley

about

The Wheel of the Year turns and we experience each season and its own celebration. This introduces the main festivals and some of their associations.

lyrics

Chorus​: Turn, Turn, Turn the Wheel
Time will pass and all wounds heal
Through the day and through the night,
Ever turns the Wheel

Samhain ends and starts the year
All the leaves will Fall.
Yuletide nears and Nature sleeps,
Festive is the Hall!
Imbolc’s candle burning bright
Though Winter's touch we feel
Ostara blossoms into Spring,
Ever turns the Wheel! ​Chorus

Beltaine dance on a Summer’s day
Turning, turning round!
Litha Solstice, Longest Day!
Make a joyful sound!
At Lughnasadh we celebrate
The first fruit, grain and meal
Second harvest Mabon brings
Ever Turns the Wheel! ​Chorus

Descant​: Oh, my child! Be thou still.
Dream of all the love that turns
Upon the Wheel!
