about

Circling Jera is the turning of the Sunwheel. It is the cycle of the seasons and the activities done within those seasons that help us survive. It touches on balance of life and death and the purpose of it all within the natural world.

lyrics

A year turns with the spinning wheel.
Winter falls asleep.
The Sun returns with the mornings dawn,
her light guides my way.

The Spring returns,
as sings the birds,
The trees speak,
And flows the creek.
Seeds grow,
With my hands I sowed
This garden dear,
Theres magic here.

A deer feeds in these fields of green.
I wait there in silence.
This bow it carries such burden.
This life before me, I shall honor thee.

With knife I kneel
I begin to peel.
pelt from bone,
blood to stone.
A song I sing
to this beautiful being.
Your spirit lives,
my thanks I give.

I feel a break inside of me.
Water rushes my feet
This child beloved burden.
This life inside me,
I shall honor thee.

To Earth I kneel,
I begin to feel
a tender shaking silence.
Her head it is crowned,
As I bear down.
This blessed birth without violence.

A year turns with the spinning wheel.
Ground bears autumns flame.
The moonlit nights grow longer.
Her light guides my way.

As Winters woke,
her icy stroke.
The trees sleep
o'er frozen creek.
I lit this hearth,
from the core of Earth.
Keep warm my dear.
Theres magic here.

Sun and Moon Dance North Carolina

We're seed and tree with roots deep into earth and branches stretching to the heavens. We are the voice of creation…from the smallest of creatures to the mightiest of beasts. We are songs of dancing fire, whirling wind, flowing water and the standing stone. We are pain and sorrow woven into hope and beauty. We are forest and meadow… the mountain and river. We are what was and what is becoming. ... more
