A Simple Chant for Fire
spirits of fire come to us
we will kindle a fire
spirits of fire come to us
we will kindle a fire
we will kindle a fire
dance the magic circle round
we will kindle a fire
we will kindle a fire

The Coven Chant
O ancient ones of heaven, earth and sea,
We chant the coven spell, thus shall it be!
To music of the night-wind blowing free,
We chant the coven spell, thus shall it be!
The owl hoots within the hollow tree,
The black cat runs by night silently,
The toad beneath the stone dwells secretly,
We chant the coven spell, thus shall it be!
To moon that draws the tides of air and sea,
We chant the coven spell, thus shall it be!
To god that bides beneath the greenwood tree,
We chant the coven spell, thus shall it be!
By witches’ garter bound about the knee,
By staff and cauldron and all powers that be,
We will the thing in our minds we see,
We chant the coven spell, thus shall it be!
(Pause…)
The Spell is flowing like the sea,
The spell is growing like the tree,
Like flame that burns and blazes free.
We chant the spell, thus shall it be!
We chant the spell, thus shall it be!
We chant the spell, thus shall it be!
IT IS!
From: Witchcraft for Tomorrow
Let me be…
Let me be a bloodhound in your pack, Lord Herne,
racing toward a horizon that recedes
with each swift step we take toward it.
Let me burn with your dark fire.
Let me serve you with my fearless deeds.
Bring Us The Power
Lord of dark oceans, master of water,
come, we invite you, come to our altar.
Bring us the power of waves against stone.
Bring us the joy of flesh upon bone,
~Mannanan Mac Lir.
Let us be reborn!
Hecate, Cerridwyn
Dark Mother, take us in
Hecate, Cerridwyn
Let us be reborn!

Earth Mother Chant
Earth Mother, we sing to your body,
Earth Mother, we sing to your bones,
Earth Mother, we honor your spirit,
Earth Mother, we honor your stones.

Return, Return
The earth, the air, the fire, the water
Return, return, return, return
The earth, the air, the fire, the water
Return, return, return, return
ae, ae, ae, ae aio, aio, aio, aio ae, ae, ae, ae

A Circle Within A Circle
We are a Circle
We are a circle
Within a circle
With no beginning
And never ending.
May The Circle
May the circle be open. But unbroken.
May the peace of the goddess. Be ever in your heart.
Merry meet and merry part! And merry meet again!
– Starhawk.
