Burning a Wicker Man at Butser Beltaine 2007

This ancient celtic festival is brought alight, literally by the sacrificial burning of a wicker man.

the scale and intensity can not be underestimated. A really powerful experiance.

Music is by Jim Faupel

WICKERMAN




People say our tribe is gone

In Adam's field we were under the stars as one

People say our God is dead

But I've been blessed with a fire in my head




Raise him tall, people, see him stand

Burn, burn, the wicker man

Bless our harvest, heal our land

Burn, burn, the wicker man




By Arth's light he had his birth

Crawling cold from the pit of the deep dark earth

He is Cernwn, he is Bran

He is god and the devil's father, he is An




I shall go into a hare

I am borne on the breath of a witch's prayer

I shall go into a stag

Augustine better take his bad vibe back!
