Invocation by the Rune Trees

This is a short piece based on the five trees that have their own runs. I have split 'Thorn' into Blackthorn and Hawthorn.

Invocation by the Rune Trees

By the power of, the mighty old oak,

By the ash that wares, the sacred fire cloak.

By the protection of, the bold blackthorn,

Under Hawthorn garland, where thee were born.

By the witness of, the long living yew,

By the birch bursting forth, that is first to renew.

I call all rune trees, to witness our rite,

And guard us here on, this fine feasting night.

Protect us from foes, with your noble might,

And help make sacred, this fair woodland site.

So mote it be
