I think it's available online through the Archive.org website. It was called elfland and it went like this:<br>I've been out wandering in foggy country<br>Out where strange things exist<br>The edge of magic, the edge of science<br>Meet and merge in the mist.<br>And I've come back with a book full of songs<br>A handful of tactics for righting old wrongs<br>And all you can say is I've "been gone too long."<br>You don't know me at all.<br>I've been out wandering in hidden country<br>Out where your rejects reside<br>Where dreams are solid, where words are fire,<br>Out where the free thinkers hide<br>And all you can say is that you don't care<br>You can't put a meter on sunlight or air<br>You've got no use for the new world out there<br>You don't know us at all<br>Guess I'll go back there with all I'll get here<br>All that will help us go on<br>That country's growing with every outcast<br>You never notice we're gone<br>And when you've won all the games that you play<br>You just might see there's no one left to pay<br>We'll have the whole world that you threw away<br>And we won't know you at all<br>I feel there's a similar poetic sentiment in that tune.fritterfaehttp://fritterfae.livejournal.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13919887.post-68466941191559221202006-10-02T18:14:57.000-07:002006-10-02T18:14:57.000-07:00I have enjoyed this little book for many years and...I have enjoyed this little book for many years and recommend it to students, as it is free of much of the New Agey influence so pervasive in neo-Wicca and neo-Faery traditions.<br>I also like that the author uses the O.E. "Wicce-craft" (from whence the word "Witchcraft" is derived), as I have always felt that it is somewhat ridiculous to call a Goddess-centered religion by the masculine pronoun ("wicca"). And so I prefer the Wicce spelling (which also distinguishes it from Gardnerian Wica and neo-Wicca) or simply Witchcraft, which in my mind is more inclusive.<br>Ironically, this and similar books may be as much a reenvisioning as modern traditions of the Craft, but <i>Horned Piper</i> certainly has more flair than most of the MacWicca books sold today. Just MO. YMMV.soulfire06http://soulfire06.livejournal.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13919887.post-63809830911513564032006-10-12T13:28:44.000-07:002006-10-12T13:28:44.000-07:00What are you thinking of the book?

So, the Faery Folk are my ancestral Deities.ardaraithhttp://ardaraith.livejournal.com/noreply@blogger.com
