about

When the land quickens at the end of winter, after the dry heat of summer when the first of the winter rains have come and after bushfires blacken the forests and the earth, it rises. You can feel it, see it and breathe it in – The Serpent Energy.

lyrics

Serpent energy is on the rise
From the rainbow pool it flows
From the cauldron of the earth
From soil and clay the green one grows
And the voices of the land
Join the songs of ancient trees
To awaken us from our winter sleep
And feel the serpent energy

From deep within her well
Flow the sacred streams
A gifting from the otherworld
Across the plain of dreams
Spirits move in water rock and stone
Mother Earth’s sweet blood and bone
We’ve come to farewell the crone
And greet the maiden of the green

Strong on cloven hooves
Comes the horned one in his prime
Standing at the Beltane gate
With the sun locked in his tines
With the maiden he will dance
With the maiden he will sing
She’ll take his seed the Goddess’s need
And abundance in summer bring

God and Goddess bless
The new life of the land
The gift of flower, fruit and bud
Sent from the mother’s hand
It’s the greening of rebirth
From their dance of ecstasy
It’s the life force of the earth
The Serpent energy
