 <\/p>\n

My name is Freya, Goddess of Love<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

And yet I am no stranger to death<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Upon the battlefields you will find me<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Collecting warriors from their untimely death<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

With death comes life \u2013 rebirth<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

With day comes night<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

My husband Odur is the symbol of the summer sun<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

But now you and I celebrate the return to darkness<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The Wheel of Life turns round and round<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

So now before we turn inwards<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Celebrate all that you have achieved<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Celebrate all that you are<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Stand tall with the mighty oak, the tree of courage<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

He holds the doorway to your inner strength<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

On those dark nights look back<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Remember the first swallow that returned bringing hope and joy<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

And as you gather round the winter fires remember the fire of the sun<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The warmth and heat upon your face<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Remember those heady days of freedom and<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Remember that the wheel turns ever more<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

And the light will return once more<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Until then celebrate you<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Dance light of foot and feel the heat of the sun<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Watch the swallows fill the skies<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Until next time dear friends<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Until next time.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
