Imbolc and Brigid (or Brighd, if you make it a single syllable). The first few lines come from a ritual done in Chicago community in the late 2000s. The other three parts were newly created for this chant.

lyrics

Lady of the Hearth, Lady of the Flame
Hear us as we call our dreams by name
Lady of the Forge, Lady of the Fire
Help us manifest our heart's desire

(echo) Lady of the Hearth, Lady of the Flame
Hear us as we call our dreams by name
Lady of the Forge, Lady of the Flame
Hear us as we call your name

Lady of the Hearth
Lady of the Flame
Lady of the Forge
Lady of the Fire

Brigid, hear our call
Brighd be welcome here
Brigid, hear our cry
Welcome, Brighd!

I haven't known about Leslie for long, but I'm glad I do now. She fits my wheel house. A raw, striking feminine voice singing about everything from folklore to sci-fi. From rock to filk she can pull it off. TimTTT
