The Goddess Of The Hunter Moon
(Laura Powers / David Lloyd)
The winter was long, the frost was severe
No game had been brought down
In this famine year
The ground is still frozen
The fields still lay bare
New growth in the woods
Was stunted and spare
So they gathered together,
Together they prayed
A meal would be brought forth
On this holy day
Invoking her name to deliver them soon
The goddess of the hunter moon
They built a great fire reaching up to the sky
And watched the full moon
Take command of the night
Into the clearing came a buck and a boar
As if offering themselves in silent accord
The people rejoiced at the bountiful feast
In awe of the great power of the unseen
They gave thanks and praised her
For seeing them through
The goddess of the hunter moon
