A Page of Chants
We are an old people,
We are a new people,
We are the same people,
different than before.
We are a circle within a circle
We have no beginning and we're never ending.
Hail fair Sun,
Ruler of day;
Rise on the morn
To light my way.
Hoof and horn, hoof and horn,
all that dies will be reborn
Corn and grain, corn and grain,
all that falls will rise again
And the wheel of the year goes round and round,
The wheel of the year goes round.
We are the weavers,
We we are the web,
We are the flow,
We are the ebb.
Gentle Godddess, Loving Goddess,
We are calling your name.
All your children stand before you,
Never hidden from your gaze.
Life and death, the way we follow,
To your bosom we return.
As the seasons circle slowly,
Your eternal flame will burn.
We all come from the Goddess,
and to Her we shall return
Like a drop of rain,
flowing to the ocean.
The Goddess is alive
and magik is afoot.
It's the blood of the ancients
That flows through our veins
The forms pass
But the circle of life remains.
Isis, Astarte, Diana, Hecate,
Demeter, Kali, Inana

Apollo, Balder, Nuada
Evening Chant to the Goddess
[to be said while Moon-gazing]
Hail fair Moon,
Ruler of night;
Guard me and mine
Until the light
Evening Chant to the God
[to be said while watching the sunset]
Hail fair Sun,
Ruler of day;
Rise on the morn
To light my way.
We are the weavers
We are the woven ones
We are the dreamers,
We are the dream.
A Wiccan or Pagan Hail Mary
Goddess grant me the vision to see beyond the illusions of this world
Grant me the ears to hear beyond the words to the true meaning
and grant me a voice in which I can speak truth and compassion
In your name
So Mote it be.

Round and round
And the balance of the wheel goes round
Born of water,
Cleansing, powerful,
Healing, changing,
We are.

Spin a web of glowing light

Guide us to you
