Gypsy boasts an incredible voice! This song is a favorite among younger Wiccans and little ones thanks to its catchy tune. The lyrics enchant listeners with lines like:

Throw a coin in a wishing well and see what you can see

Listen to your inner voice, you will find the information
With magick, magick, magick
You can take your imagination.”

Finding faith and common ground the best that they were able,
And just before the meal was served, hands were held and prayers were said,
Sending hope for peace on earth to all their gods and goddesses.”

One of the many we call the witches
The healers and the teachers of the wisdom of the earth.”
