Finding Your Enchantress
Enchantment is a state of mind
That embraces you by choice
It permeates the open hearts
That willingly rejoice
In nature, art, and music
The mysteries unseen
In fish and birds and mammals
Spry creatures in between
Brighid, singing soothing verse
That comforts and elates
Leading minds to consciousness
Where Danu celebrates
Your entrance to a hallowed ring
Where Aphrodite reigns
To purge you of stale energies
Your former self retains
Those who fear her healing power
Will miss the chance to feel
Marvels, wonders, ecstasies
Beyond the temporal wheel
Proudly strive to free yourself
Unfurl your nascent wings
Launch into the sublime sphere
That your Enchantress brings
