	I figure the name's pretty descriptive - it's a pagan prayer and invocation to the goddesses of Imbolc and of spring.

	Story Behind the Song I wanted to write something appropriate to Imbolc. This time of year is always hard on me because I suffer from Seasonal Affective Disorder, and I like to focus on the realization that light is returning to mitigate the mopeyness and the blahs. After writing this song today and getting some sunshine, I feel much better. Lyrics Brighid, bringer of the light Banish now the dark of night Hold Ye forth a candle's flame That tells us spring has come again Vesta, guard our hearth and home Through the winter, kept us warm Keeper of the Sacred Flame Through You, now warmth will come again Idun, Maiden of the Spring Your touch makes all of nature sing Each youth and babe and bud and flower Know well they renewal's power Hathor, Goddess of the cow Bring forth the calves and bless the plow The beasts of field and farm grow rife When nourished by Your milk of life Demeter, She who brings the rain Who ripens fruit and nutures grain Return to us from winter's dark And bud and bloom and bless life's spark Ushas, herald of the dawn Release the gates of darkness-bawn Bring the chariot of the sun That grants life's light to everyone Brighid, bringer of the light Banish now the dark of night Hold Ye forth a candle's flame That tells us spring has come again
