The Eve of Midwinter

by Aurora Borealis Medicine Turkey


 'Twas the eve of midwinter, and all through the coven

 The witches were cookin strange things in the oven.

There were mugwort frittitas, and dragon's blood stew

 And mescaline eggnog and mandrake fondue.

There were hot mountain oysters and road-kill pate

And spotted owl kidneys, and wombat flambe.

The circle was cast and the herbs had been smoked

In the hopes that the Goddess would soon be invoked.

When out of the hot tub arose such a clatter

I jumped on my broom to see what twas the matter.

And what should I see in the blackberry thorns

But a soaking wet Goddess and eight unicorn!

"I was sitting down with my vibrating phallus

And a good book," she muttered "You bitches are callous.

I came when you called, over all my objections,

And got loss in the woods- you give lousy directions.

You turkeys invoked me, now look at my dress

My period's late and I got PMS."

She cursed and she muttered, she looked like a wreck

The unicorns whimpered and sat on the deck.

We gave her some weed and got her some grub

We brought her clean towels and she soaked in the tub.

Then she rose, hot and dripping,

And gave us her blessing,

And jumped in her chariot, without even dressing!

"On Isis, on Eris, Oya and Astarte!

On Ishtar, Inanna! Kali and Hecate!"

We heard her exclaim as she climbed through the air

"Thank Goddess there's only eight sabbats a year!"
