The baelfires are set

the prayers have been sung

as we surrender to our faith

one by one

the skies cover us with benevolence

as we begin to dance

free from our constraints

governing ourselves at last

not witch, but woman

feared or revered and misunderstood

we shake off these legal shackles

and declare our freedom for good

the baelfires are set

the prayers have been sung

as we come into our own

the days of submission are done – Caroline A. Slee
