Hello My Lovelies,
As part of my current seven day theme – May Day/Beltane – I thought I’d share some of the songs that I’ve been known to sing at this time of year. Of course, a wee drop of mead or fruit wine amongst friends helps with ones cheerfulness and reduces the fear of not being able to carry the tune!
I love Queen of the May, it’s one of the tracks on The Anthology – a great collection of the best hits from Inkubus Sukkubus
If you’d like to read more posts about this wonderful time of year, just search the tag #Beltane at the bottom of the page or click on the Sabbats category.

“QUEEN OF THE MAY” By Inkubus Sukkubus
All across the barren land
Still cold from winter’s hand
It has been a time for tears
Season of the Goddess return
(Chorus)
Hail! hail! the Queen of the May
Now is the season, now is the day
A time to laugh and a time to play
Hail! hail! Hail! the Queen of the May
On this eve, the first summer night
Out of the darkness and into the light
Set the Beltaine fires alight
Season of the Goddess return
(Chorus)
Through the time when the green leaves hide
The dream of summer has kept us alive
Through the darkness we have survived
Season of the Goddess return
(Chorus)
Let the leaves be green again
Let us all be free from pain
Out of the ice and into the flame
Season of the Goddess return!
(Chorus)
