Drunemeton - Guardians of the Green Darkness Gates

Through the silent and motionless forest,
They go, whispering by the wings
And mysterious sliding, a rustle of leaves,
A noiseless step of Progenitors,
The Oldest Animals gather round Him

Raven, Keeper Of The Gates
Deer of Seven Horns, Keeper Of Time
Ancient Owl, Old woman of Night
Eagle, Lord of Air, Sun Eye
And the Salmon, the Oldest of Them,
The Wisest of Wise
He welcomes and blesses them,
And they honor him, Cernunnos

Tree roots grow out of the ground
Gossip in the darkness in the magical patterns
Of roots and branches complicated the throne of the Master
Witching Horned Master of the Green Eternal Forest

Under the Crown of the Deer Horns
Two bright green eyes twinkling,
Reflected in the dark
At the forest gates behind him

Things at dusk were not clear
Nothing in the darkness does not claim to ultimate truth
Forest shadows and your imagination
Allow you to see everything as you see,
And not as it is

Flocks of prey owls and ravens
Circling over the branches of trees,
Sheltering by wings the moon and stars
Grievous wolves and terrible beasts
Of withcing forest prowl
In windbreaks and thickets

You may pass through the gates
Of the green darkness,
Only if your heart will beat
In unison with the pulse of the forest
