Leader (High Priest/ess)
Our circle cast, we enter the night.
We sit in the dark, awaiting the light.
Waiting for light, we search our hearts,
through story and song, and ancient arts.
We let go what has passed,
and speak hope that will last.
In joy and wonder, we welcome the Sun,
reborn from the night, hope for everyone.
