The Dark Garden



				*SPRING - Barbicus* - The changeling** I am spring and bring life, Restoring the cycle from dark to light, I am the Aries eqinox, Out with the Maypoles rejoice and dance, Emerge god’s creatures, birds, hare and fox, Lambs line the fields let nature enhance. I am spring.


		*SUMMER – Yayalyn* - The Green Man** I am summer, Giving beauty and joy, Humans travel to celebrate me, my radiance gives light and life, I create joy and love. I am summer.

AUTUMN – Krute - Order of the thrones

I am autumn,
I give the leaves their decaying colours,
Making forests into timeless beauty, Lost light falls into night,
Falling deep down into winter’s sleep.
I am autumn.

WINTER - Atropos - Order of the powers

I am winter,
I breathe cold, danger and depression,
How beautiful glass looks when Jack paints,
Enchanted children gather as I transform their world,
Gardens are the pictures on Christmas cards,
Lilly ponds are freezing hard,
All the places which you knew so well,
Are under my silvery magical spell.
I am final, the end, winter.
