Frigga's Web

Silence before the storm
I reach the house hidden by the night

A light I saw I knocked all quietly
I entered; a woman sat by the spinning wheel

What brings you here my child, she asked?
Don't you know our lady keeps her secrets well?

It's my life I am running from
It's my fate I am hiding from
Oh, would the Goddess speak to me?

Her ways I don't understand
The mysteries that I must know
Oh, would the Mother see through me?

Why don't you rest my child, she said
I will seek her advice, I will wake you when it's time

All night by the spinning wheel
She sang an ancient tune
And in the morn' her work was done

In the distance I heard a call
I awoke and I held the spindle in my hand

My other hand it held new life
The Goddess had been by my side
And her blessing was mine
