The North West Passage

Would be a fun youtube video..

Reviewing your claims, I believe that you may, in fact, BE the very model of a pagan intellectual.

Nicely done. Glad you enjoyed the conference…..bang up job the local committee did.

Does that mean I’m called little Buttercup?

Oh, my. I am so sorry to have missed this in live performance. In the audio version in my head it’s just priceless! As with the original, I suspect I could name a few more Pagan Intellectuals who might make similar claims … but probably none who could speak quite as fast or clearly.

Thanks so much for sharing this.

I am the very model of a modern esotericist,
A seasoned astral traveler and an edifying exorcist,
A sparkling star astrologer, a dead adroit necromancer.
A dab hand as a palmist and a card as a Tarotmancer.
I’ve folk tradition lineage-both Celtic and Germanical;
I’ve channelled Robert Heinlein and I’ve busted cults Satanical;
Elusively mysterious in Eleusinian Mysteries,
I’ve proven eighty-three per cent of Velikovsky’s histories.
My patent aphrodisiacs would make a satyr hornier;
I’ve manufactured unicorns in northern California.
In short, in matters magical I’m manic as a terrorist;
I am the very model of a modern esotericist!

I am the very model of a modern esotericist.
My mystic methodology’s inherently empiricist;
I’ve tread the Cretan labyrinth on pathways that I travel on;
I won’t deny the rumors that I ghostwrote Mists of Avalon.
A truly great Great Riter and a master of tantrickery,
I’m up the Shining Pathways til the Guardians are sick of me.
I dazzle Neo-Pagans as I breakdance round the Wicca ring
And, miracle of miracles, I even stop them bickering!
I’ve raised the ghost of Crowley in a Gnostic Mass invoking in
Sumerian, Bavarian, Etruscan and Enochian.
I’d sing another chorus, but I have to see my therapist;
I am the very model of a modern esotericist!

I am the very model of an eclectic wiccan pagan
I’ve read all of Buckland’s books, was helped most by Nancy Reagan’s
I’m always first to circle ’cause I’ve got to call the spirits in
If ever I met the goddess, the bitch would make my head spin
I always worship skyclad with no thoughts to what arises
And carry a pouch of stones to counter bad surprises
I’ve never really listened at each or any ritual
My pagan craft is so ingrained others call it habitual

Her pagan craft is so ingrained others call it habitual
Her pagan craft is so ingrained others call it habitual
Her pagan craft is so ingrained others call it habit-habitual

I started as a self-initated priestess of Ianna
Then I heard of the craft called Wicca and shouted Hosanna!
I could mix and match from this and that, even some from old Sagan
So, I am the very model of an eclectic wiccan pagan

She could mix and match from this and that,even some from old Sagan
So she is the very model of an eclectic wiccan pagan

I’ve been in circle with the greatest names in pagan folklore
And I can say triumphantly that I am one they all adore
Now I’ll say something that I don’t go into very often
That their hard views about mix and match simply should be softened
For there is good in everything if I only know how to look
That perfectly astute perception should be written in a book
And it is ok if I gloss over the bad or deep or hard
Of course, anything I do not like, I completely disregard

Of course, anything she does not like, she completely disregards
Of course, anything she does not like, she completely disregards
Of course, anything she does not like, she completely disre-disregards

I try so hard to learn new things but have awful concentration
So, I stick to what is easy for little education
A method followed faithfully from here to Copenhagan
So, I am the very model of an eclectic wiccan pagan

A method followed faithfully from here to Copenhagan
So, she is the very model of an eclectic wiccan pagan

I do not bother with any tools or calling out the quarters
For I think that like in Star Trek spirits come with a transporter
Every spell works out perfectly filling me with ecstacy
Of course, I’ve never run into any big or bad or nasty
Some call my life frivolous but I prefer to say carefree
You can be just like me just never ever study
Simply do as you will and never mind the consequences
Practicing wicca with three syllable sentences

For she practices wicca with three syllable sentences
For she practices wicca with three syllable sentences
For she practices wicca with three syllable senten-sentences

In closing I would like to say: I think mine is the perfect way
For I’ll never ever listen to whatever others have to say
And next week I’ll learn some more about an old god they called Dagon
For, I am the very model of an eclectic wiccan pagan

And next week she’ll learn some more about an old god they called Dagon
For, she is the very model of an eclectic wiccan pagan
