While I’m thinking about the Green Man/Horned God. I thought I share what is perhaps my favorite song dedicated to the God. “Hymn to Herne” by S.J. Tucker – her voice is perfect for this!
And for your reading pleasure, the lyrics:
You can say your prayers
Work your rites
Burn your little candles
Day and night
You can shimmy till dawn
To the pounding drums
But you best be ready
When the Horned One comes, yeah
If you wake to the sound
Of a hunting horn
dance a ring
In the gathering storm
If the Solstice time gets
Your panties in a wad
It’s just the coming
Of the Horned God
He will call you out
Make you sweat
Give you a blessing
That you’ll never forget
So revel in the chase
And let your heartbeat run
Blessed are the children
Of the Horned One
Blessed are the children
Of the Horned One
Hunter who tracks
Outside of time
Guardian lord
Of ancient rhyme
Brother stag
In the musky glen
And consort of the Goddess
In her woodland den
We call you forth
As we make our way
Walking in your power
Every day
Guide us true
In our hunt this night
and maybe even later
In the Great Rite
He will call you out
Make you sweat
Give you a blessing
That you’ll never forget
So revel in the chase
And let your heartbeat run
Blessed are the children
Of the Horned One
Blessed are the children
Of the Horned One
If you wake to the sound
Of a hunting horn
Dance a ring in
The gathering storm
Revel in the chase
And let your heartbeat run
But you’d best be ready
Little one
You’d best be ready
When the Horned One comes
He will call you out
Make you sweat,
give you a blessing
That you’ll never forget
So revel in the chase
And let your heartbeat run
Blessed are the children
Of the Horned One
Blessed are the children
Of the Horned One
