Thank You Gerald Gardner and Doreen Valiente Wicca Ancestors of the Unboud

(Verse 1) They took the whispers from the ancient deep And woke the magic from its restless sleep Gerald Gardner with the courage to bring the hidden light Doreen Valiente with the words to set the spirit right They mapped the forest for the ones who strayed And built the circles where the prayers are laid (Chorus) Oh, ancestors of the unbound, we lift our voices high For the ecstatic fire burning beneath the open sky You made the sacred accessible, you opened up the door And we’re walking through the garden, finding what we’re looking for Thank you for the colors in our tapestry so wide For the magick in the living, and the wildness deep inside (Verse 2) Some seek the structure, the ritual and the rite Some walk the path that fades into the night The anarchic mystic, the sage without a name Yet both are burning with the very same flame We shed the rigid cages, we let the boundaries fall But we honor Gerald and Doreen who answered the call (Chorus) Oh, ancestors of the unbound, we lift our voices high For the ecstatic fire burning beneath the open sky You made the sacred accessible, you opened up the door And we’re walking through the garden, finding what we’re looking for Thank you for the colors in our tapestry so wide For the magick in the living, and the wildness deep inside (Bridge) It’s a tangled, beautiful, ever-growing vine A lineage of freedom, a space that is divine Whether we are bound by tradition’s gentle hand Or wandering as nomads across the spirit land We are the fruit of the seeds Gardner and Valiente sow Watching the sacred, untamed wisdom grow (Verse 3) So let the ritual breathe and let the mystic roam In every heart that finds the Earth its home The craft they championed is a river running free Carrying the stories to the vast and open sea We hold the thread, we weave the future bright Guided by the ancestors who turned on the light (Outro) Ancestors of the unbound, we thank you Gerald Gardner, Doreen Valiente, we thank you For the colors, for the magic, for the view The tapestry is wide, the spirit is the key We are the children of your mystery Thank you... thank you... The circle is open, but it never ends.
