Pagan/Wiccans Do you know any Apple Wassailing Songs or Chants?

Question

I would love some Pagan/Wiccan Apple Wassailing songs or chants for our Wassailing party this year if anybody could help me out please.

Answer 1

Now Christmas is comen, and New Year begin
Pray open your doors, And let us come in.
With our wassail, wassail, wassail,
And joy come with our jolly wassail.

This ancient house we will kindly salute
It is an old custom you need not dispute.
With our wassail, wassail, wassail,
And joy come with our jolly wassail.

We hope that your apple trees will prosper and bear
And bring forth good cider when we come next year.
With our wassail, wassail, wassail,
And joy come with our jolly wassail.

We hope that your barley will prosper and grow
That you may have plenty and some to bestow.
With our wassail, wassail, wassail,
And joy come with our jolly wassail.

Good Mistress and Master how can you forbear
Come fill up our bowl with cider or beer.
With our wassail, wassail, wassail,
And joy come with our jolly wassail.


The Wassail Chant

Oh apple tree we honour thee
In hope that you will bear
The blessed fruit of Avalon
At harvest time each year.

Each golden apple you bring forth
A gift to Aphrodite
Has at its heart a pentacle,
The symbol of her mystery.

Your blossom heralds Springtime
Your leaf brings Summer shade.
Let Samhain’s* harvest cup be filled
With cider freshly made.

When Winter’s cold envelops you
In wind and rain and hail
Then we’ll return each year to bring
Our grateful thanks WASSAIL!

*Samhain, an old word for Halloween
is pronounced sow-ayne

Answer 2

Wassailing Songs

Answer 3

Here is a loosely- Christianized carol for Wassailing. A little alteration should set it towards your needs. Also, although not specifically for wassailing, "Deck The Halls" is a WONDERFUL Yule carol.

Here We Come A-Wassailing

Here we come a-wassailing
Among the leaves so green,
Here we come a-wand'ring
So fair to be seen.
Love and joy come to you,
And to you your wassail, too,
And God bless you, and send you
A Happy New Year,
And God send you a Happy New Year.

We are not daily beggers
That beg from door to door,
But we are neighbors' children
Whom you have seen before
Love and joy come to you,
And to you your wassail, too,
And God bless you, and send you
A Happy New Year,
And God send you a Happy New Year.

Good master and good mistress,
As you sit beside the fire,
Pray think of us poor children
Who wander in the mire.
Love and joy come to you,
And to you your wassail, too,
And God bless you, and send you
A Happy New Year,
And God send you a Happy New Year.

We have a little purse
Made of ratching leather skin;
We want some of your small change
To line it well within.
Love and joy come to you,
And to you your wassail, too,
And God bless you, and send you
A Happy New Year,
And God send you a Happy New Year.

Bring us out a table
And spread it with a cloth;
Bring us out a cheese,
And of your Christmas loaf.
Love and joy come to you,
And to you your wassail, too,
And God bless you, and send you
A Happy New Year,
And God send you a Happy New Year.

God bless the master of this house,
Likewise the mistress too;
And all the little children
That round the table go.
Love and joy come to you,
And to you your wassail, too,
And God bless you, and send you
A Happy New Year,
And God send you a Happy New Year.

Answer 4

My people don't wassail, lol. jk - good luck.


Actually, in Chamber choir we had one that went like this:

Wassail, wassail, all over the town.
our toast it is white, and our ale it is brown
our bowl is made
of the white maple tree
with our wassailing bowl,
we'll drink to thee.

not one of the better ones, I guess. But, it's Christ-free, so Pagans can use it.
