The Eldritch Elder tree,
Grandmother of the Grove
Her wisdom she imparts with tea,
In her flower hat and cream lace gloves.
Or perhaps you’ll take some wine,
Wisdom distilled in elderberry,
She’s the Cailleach of the Trine,
And an Elder Queen of Fairy.
In Fall she dons a coat whose hue,
Deep purple, her delight,
And gently leads the passing souls,
From darkness back to light.
