                                             Chants

 

Chants have long been used as a means of altering one's consciousness in order to commune with the spirit realm, raise power from within, and commune with and connect to the Divine.

Chants can be fast moving, energy raising verses (sounds used for raising the 'Cone' for various magickal workings), or they can be soft, whispered words, heard only by you and the Divine, for the purpose of inner exploration and communion.

The following are a collection of some of the Goddess & God chants, prayers, etc., 




Healing Chant

Around the Circle, Throughout and about,
Healing within, healing without.
All health come in, all illness flee,
And by our will, So Mote It Be!


We All Come From The Goddess

We All Come From The Goddess
And To Her We Shall Return

Flowing To The Ocean

All that's cut shall rise again
