about

Elen, the antlered Goddess, the soul of the wildwood who guides and protects us on the pathways, both physical and spiritual. A song for all the sisters who wear the antlers!

lyrics

Spun from sunlight, woven with mist
Elen’s path is honeysuckle kissed
Honeysuckle kissed laced with the green
And along the old trackway she’s walking

I felt her presence sent in a dream of a storm
And I know her essence is the wilderness where she born
Come run with the wild things I heard her call

Spun from sunlight, woven with mist
Elen’s path is honeysuckle kissed
Honeysuckle kissed and laced with the green
And along the old trackway she’s walking

Early morn, Red the dawn
Why do I feel like the storm is still brewing me
Caught between day and the dream
Be still in your heart there is no need to flee
She waits in the shadows, the lady of antlers
Has come to guide me

Spun from sunlight, woven with mist
Elen’s path is honeysuckle kissed
Honeysuckle kissed and laced with the green
And along the old trackway she’s walking

The woodland is her temple from mountaintop to sacred spring
The keeper of the green wisdom, the gift of the wild lore she’ll bring
Through rain washed meadows or beneath snow laden boughs
You’ll find her there

Find the way, track the ley
The pathway you seek lies ahead through the trees
When she’s near you will hear
The green Goddess’s song carried along on the breeze
Crowned with the seasons, branches of velvet she wears

Spun from sunlight, woven with mist
Elen’s path is honeysuckle kissed
Honeysuckle kissed and laced with the green
And along the old trackway she’s walking

A kiss from the past caressed me last night
A journey woven with threads of time
At one with the land and lands be as one
Tracking the deer as the seasons moved on
