Cailleach-oidhche, Sacred to the Underworld

The Owl of Moon & Goddess Crone
Appears to skirt the sky alone  
   
To gather spirits dead of night  
To rid the evil with its flight  
And quell the forest folk of fright.  
   
For Death is starting Life anew,  
'Tis not the end as all owls knew.  
   
Cailleach-oidhche, a Wiccan sign  
To ev'ry Pagan, owls divine,  
   
Are service in and are in league  
In hidden power's psychic creed.  
   
Their stealth to know, initiate  
All wisdom, intuit, create,  
   
Not lies, half-tales, but all of truth  
To those who honor, old and youth,  
   
By whom the Owl with second sight  
Will faithful ferry silent night  
   
The ever dedicated kelm  
Who live beside the mountain realm  
   
As are descendants of the Crone  
While on the Mull she lives alone.
