One the same wheel we spin,
Into life and out again,
One is many, many one---
Brewing in her cauldron.
We are an old people, We are a new people, we are
the same people,
Deeper than before.

O- Earth Mother! We praise thee that seed springeth, that flower openeth,

the shining birch, thru the mighty oak.
We praise Thee for all things, O-Earth-Mother, Who givist
Life.
(Kathie

We can grow
with the fire of Freedom
Freedom
is the fire running through our veins
We can
break the power of constriction
Freedom
flowing through us flowing through the planes
(Channeled
from Goddess of Freedom)
We can rise with the fire of freedom!
Truth is the fire that breaks our chains!
And we can stop the fire of destruction!
Healing is the fire running through our veins!
We're rising with the fire of freedom
Thor's mighty hammer helps break our chains
We break
the power of constriction
Courage is the fire running through our veins.
Bright
as a flower and strong as a tree,
With our
love and with our rage,
Breaking
our chains so we can be free,
With our
love and with our rage.

All

The
rainbow is her token;
Now
winter's power is taken;
In love
all chains are broken.

All
seeds She deeply buries,
She
weaves the thread of seasons;
Her
secret, darkness carries,
She
loves beyond all reason.

In a new
form, in a new way;
Everything
hurt is healed again,
In a new

Maypole Songs
To the
May Pole we will go,
Fire
burn all griefs away,
Love
and laughter rule today!
She
will bring the buds in the Spring, and
laugh among the flowers.
In
Summer's heat, her kisses are sweet,
She
sings in leafy bowers. She cuts the cane
and gathers the grain, when fruits of Fall surround her.
Her
bones grow old in wintery cold
She
wraps her cloak around her.
Joy,
health and peace be in the world,
that
spins into the May-o,
For
Summer is a-commin'in,
and Winter's gone away-o.
Oh do
not tell the Priest of our Art,
For he
would call it a sin;
But we shall be out in the woods all night,
A
conjuring Summer in!
And we
bring you news by word of mouth
For
women, cattle and corn-
Now is
the Sun come up from the South
With
Oak and Ash, and Thorn
Fall
equinox:
The Wheel is Turning, Summer is Gone

From the
Earth, she brings forth bounty.
He

BLESSING FOR A FORMER DWELLING
Here we loved
and laughed; here we wept and worshipped; here we have lived. Now we call back out spirits from every
corner of every room. Return to us;
depart with us, and abide here no longer.
May those who come after us find shelter and safety here; and may there
be peace between them and the spirits of this house forevermore. Blessed and ever blessed be.
MENS
AND WOMEN’S RITUALS
Those chants are 2 pieces of 1 song by an
artist named Jana Runnals, from the cd, "Sacred
Home." Her work can be found at:
http://www.voiceofpower.com and http://www.wildwomenmusic.co.uk/music_jana.html.
The Women's part is:
"I feel the Goddess within me, yes, I feel Her deep inside.
I feel the Goddess within me, yes, I feel Her deep inside.
She is the part of me that lights up my soul...
She is my inspiration and Her beauty makes me whole."
The Men's version differs slightly from the original..the
words we used are:
"I feel the God within me, yes, with Him I will reside.
I feel the God within me, yes, with Him I will reside.
He is the part of me that lights up my soul..
He is the wild spirit, and His power makes me whole."
CIRCLE
CLOSING CHANTS
The Circle is open, but never broken
Merry meet, merry part, and merry meet again
Merry did we meet and merry have we been
Merry will we part and merry meet again
Perfect love and perfect trust
Joy be shared by all of us
Merry meet and merry part
Living wisdom in our heart
As the Old Moon disappears,
Until the New One Cycles Round,
Until we gather here again,
May this Circle be unbound.
(from end of the Liturgy of the Lady, by Diana
Paxson)
And we shall meet and know and remember and meet
yet again.
May our journeys be safe
May our worries be few
May we grow like a tree towards
the light
Grounded in our mother earth
(from PSG 2005)
FOR
SWEATLODGE CEREMONY
HEARTBEAT OF CREATION
Rhythm, Rhythm, Rhythm, Rhythm
In rhythm is reassurance and peaceful
expectation.
In the darkness of the womb, feel the heartbeats
of the mother.
The swaying of her body, as she's moving in her
rhythms.
Oh Heartbeat of Creation, reassure us peaceful
rhythm.
Rhythm, Rhythm, Rhythm,
In rhythm there is knowledge, the knowledge of
perfection.
In perfect repetition, all that was, that is,
that shall be, come together in their rhythms, like the Heartbeat of Creation.
Beneath life's changing music, reassure us
peaceful rhythm.
Rhythm, Rhythm, Rhythm,
In Rhythm there is movement, in movement is
expansion, in expansion is discovery of the rhythms beyond rhythm.
The mysteries without measure in the deep dark
night that beckons.
But when the darkness frightens, Oh Heartbeat of
Creation, reassure us peaceful rhythm.
Rhythm, Rhythm
(Heartbeat
of creation is more a circle utterance than a tune. The words are uttered line
by line, slowly and clearly. I guess it could be seen as an affirmation
presented to the nature spirits. A way of merging so as to be one with the
all.)
HUMOR
Perfect love and perfect lust
Hanky panky is a must
On the bed or on the floor
Give the Gods what they came for
There is only one god, and he is the Sun God, Ra,
Ra, Ra
Come Mr Crowly man, tally me cabala,
Awaz come and I wont go home
Awaz come and I wont go home
sleep in the pyramid all night long, Awaz come and I wanna go home
I got the stella of revealing and cant go
wrong...
We all come from
We are a cold people, we are a nude people
We are a strange people, weirder than before
The Goddess is alive
Twelve inches is a foot.
Listen to the Lord and Lady call for pizza, no
anchovies
(I
Abra Cinii)
Sex, sex, sex, sex
People we were made for sex
Put your finger in each other
Yum yum yum
Gay sex, straight sex
We like every kind of sex
'Cept for those of us
who don't like any at all
Young sex, old sex
Sex with maidens, sex with crones
Sex with Witches, and with Druids
Pagans do it best
Dog, sex, cow sex,
Sex with fruit, sex with peanut butter
no sex with machines
(by Starhawk)
Southern fried Wicca circle closing:
Y'all come back now y'hear
OTHER
We can do battle with demons and angels
Our weapons are water fire and air
We are resisting the newest dark age
with old Witch's knowledge and Goddess' Rage
Isis, Astarte, and I have decided to stand up and
fight
That little boy upstart who conquered the sky
Will have to move over, he's blocking the light.
There is plenty of room for all manner of beings
To whom we can happily pray
So many ways to be loving and giving
There never was and never should be only one way
This violation of all that is holy must stop
Its gone on too long
Voices of joyous rebellion are swelling
The power of life is again growing strong
(Allison Harlow and
Starhawk)
I am a strong woman, I am a story woman,
I am a healer, My soul will never die.
(Deena/Metzer/morning feather/Will shepardson/Groshan Common)
I lay me down upon the ground
And think upon the Earth Mother
Each Flower and Tree tells me of thee
Sings praises to thee - Earth Mother
Earth Mother - our songs we sing to thee
Earth Mother - we will protect thee
Snake Woman, shedding her skin; (repeat)
Shedding, shedding, shedding her skin. (repeat)
Bird woman taking flight...
Star woman shining bright...
Moon Woman riding the night...
Blossom Woman opening wide...
(Starhawk)
Where there's fear, there is power;
Passion is the Healer
Desire cracks open the gate-
If you're ready it'll take you through.
But nothing lasts forever, Time is the destroyer;
The wheel turns again and again- Watch out, it'll
take you through.
But nothing dies forever, Nature is the renewer;
The wheel turns again and again-
If you're ready it'll take you through.
(Starhawk)

Blessing your morning coffee In the
morning, when you make your coffee, this is a great chant to chant while
making it! What you'll need: a brown or white candle, ideally a coffee
scented one, a coffee perculator, some coffee beans
and a coffee grinder. Light the
candle. While grinding the coffee beans, chant this first verse: "Yummy yummy coffee bean, If you don't
have a grinder, just chant that verse over it. While putting the grinds in
the machine, chant: "Sun is rising, Great God Ra, While
putting your sugar and cream in your favourite mug (while
the coffee is brewing) chant: "Bit of cream instead of milk, As you're
mixing your coffee, chant: "Rising sun's gift, all this caffeine, Now enjoy
your perfect cup of coffee! |
