Hekau

I wrote this chant in 1992 for use in our Festival of Hecate ritual and we have used it every year since then. The chant contains references to the various forms she has taken over time and in different cultures. 

We use it as part of the process of calling her into her Priestesses. The picture is from an altar at the ritual.

Fates Chant


twistyeweb

I was reading an old book about the influence of classical mythology on poets and authors when I found this small edit from a longer poem by Sir Walter Scott.  This is a good chant for the Equinoxes when Light and Dark are in balance.  It is also good for dealing with sad life events and grief work.

Lyrics

Fates Chant

Twist ye! Twine ye! Even so!

Mingle shades of joy and woe

Hope and fear and peace and strife

In the thread of human life

Words by Sir Walter Scott. Melody by WindReader (Alan D. Stillman) and sung by him


Wind Whispers



Wind Whispers was written just before Rites of Spring in 2003 by WindReader (Alan D. Stillman) .  

Lyrics

Wind Whispers

We sing to the Wind and the Wind whispers

We dance to the Fire and the Fire cracks

We cry to the ocean and the waves echo

We drum to the Earth and the Earth drums back

We drum to the Earth and the Earth drums back

Waters Of Life

This is another chant in 1994 for use in our wiccan sweat lodges. We often use it as a part of circle casting, calling the power of Water, and in rituals that focus on the depths of our feelings.

Lyrics

Waters Of Life

Water, Waters Of Life

Gentle Rain, Soft Mist, And Tidal Pools.

Hot Beating Blood, Cool Ocean Deeps

Water Of Wonder. Mystery Of Our Hearts

Water Of Wonder. Mystery Of Our Hearts
