Winter Solstice Chant

Geese and standing stones and mist,
Baying hounds and hooting owl,
Sparkling stars, snow is crisp
Herne is here. Bring forth the Bowl.

A Solstice Eve Chant

The geese fly high
The woods are bare, the snow is deep.
We wait for Herne to sound His horn
To wake his children up from sleep
To celebrate this happy night,
When winter may be put to flight.
