willowmoons I came across your song in an Elen of the Ways Facebook group. I was looking for songs I could sing along to. This is perfect and I am adding it to my playlist along with Elen of the Ways by Cernunnos Rising. Thank you so much!

Also, I love the artwork, I have this print on my altar too. Favorite track: Elen the Deer Mother.

lyrics

Finally the time has come,
All through the world,
The Reindeer, and Roe Deer
And Elk spread the word,
Go out, find pieces
And sparks of the light,
And bring them to Elen
For she flies this night.

Deer Mother, Deer Mother,
Run through the Night.
Horned Mother, Great Mother,
Safeguard the Light.
Deer Mother, Deer Mother,
Forge the path true,
Horned Mother, Great Mother,
Life lives through you.

Through the long darkness,
Through wood, sea and stone,
She nestles the new sun
In velvet and bone.
Deep in her antlers
She carries a star,
The moon and the world tree
Held safe from all harm.

Deer Mother, Deer Mother,
Run through the Night.
Horned Mother, Great Mother,
Safeguard the Light.
Deer Mother, Deer Mother,
Forge the path true,
Horned Mother, Great Mother,
Life lives through you.

Night fires to guide her,
The lamplights do shine,
Warm smells drifting upward,
Buttercakes and spice,
Music and laughter,
Floating on the wind,
Bolsters the long flight of our
Great Mother Hind.

Deer Mother, Deer Mother,
Run through the Night.
Horned Mother, Great Mother,
Safeguard the Light.
Deer Mother, Deer Mother,
Forge the path true,
Horned Mother, Great Mother,
Life lives through you.

Deer Mother, Deer Mother,
Run through the Night.
Horned Mother, Great Mother,
Safeguard the Light.
Deer Mother, Deer Mother,
Forge the path true,
Horned Mother, Great Mother,
Life lives through you.

Elen, Great Deer Mother
All Life
Lives Through You
