about

The rune Inguz, the god Ing, the grandfather of the land who blesses the fields and people, and also grandfather of the twins of blessings and pleasure, Freyja and Freyr. And no, circles are not cast in the Norse tradition but my background is with mixed pagan groups and we all celebrate something around Beltaine -time, so...

lyrics

Ride your wagon right over the waves
Come to bless my fields in a special way
Sympathetic magic is our sacred prayer
When we join in the circle with Freyja and Freyr

Spring is here and the land awakes
Time for earthy fun and the magic it makes
So flaunt your finery as we fuel the fire
Dance until the dawn as we drown in desire

Ride your wagon...

Ancestry and a family
Connection and a community
A great river runs reaching into the past
Feel the fabric of life when the circle is cast

Ride your wagon...

So relish life on the land and the fruits you find
Choose with confidence 'cause your kinsmen are kind
'Twixt the Golden Twins in the twilight fair
I will wait for you, you will find me there

Ride your wagon...

Ride your wagon...

Uh-huh!
