I call you now, attend me!
This is my will,so mote it be!
Cave and dessert, sea and hill.

Invoking the God and Goddess Chant *

Oh great Goddess I ask you as your child to come down,
And allow me to channel your power through me.
Help me be the instrument of your power.
I ask you to watch over me and my circle,
And protect it as I work my magick.

Oh Great God, who is the counter part of the Goddess.
I ask you to allow me to channel you power through me.
Help me be the instrument of your power.
I ask that you watch over me and my circle as I work my magic.

Evening Chant to the Goddess *

Hail fair Moon,
Ruler of Night,
Gaurd me and mine,
Until the light.
(say while moon gazing)

The Blessing Chant *

May the powers of The One,
The source of all Creation;
All-persuasive, omnipotent, eternal;
May the Goddess,The Lady of the Moon;
And the God,Horned Hunter of the Sun;
May the powers of the spirits of the Stones,
Rulers of the elemental realms;
May power of the Stars above and the Earth below,
Bless this place and this time, and I who am with You.

Night Prayer *

Praise be to the Lords of Light,
Whose brightness leads me to dream.
Praise be to the Lords of Night,
Whose darkness leads me to dream.
Light to guide me,
Night to hide me,
In the place where dreams roam free.

River is Flowing

The river is flowing, flowing and growing,
The river is flowing, back to the sea.

Mother Earth carry me, your child I will always be,
Mother Earth carry me, back to the sea.

The Moon she is changing, waxing and waning,
The Moon she is changing, high above me.

Sister Moon, challenge me, a child I will always be,
Sister Moon, wait for me, until I am free.

Besom Chant

Besom, Besom long and lithe
Made of ash and willow withe
Tied with thongs of willow bark
By running stream at moonset dark.
With the pentagram indighted
As the ritual fire is lighted;
Sweep ye circle, deosil,
Sweep out evil, sweep out ill,
Make the round of the ground
Where we do the Lady's will.
Besom, besom, Witches' (or: Lady's) broom
Sweep out darkness, sweep out doom
Rid ye Lady's hallowed ground
Of demons, imps and Hel's red hounds;
Then stand ye down on Her green earth
By running stream or Mistress' hearth,
'Till called upon at Sabbath night
To cleanse once more the dancing site.
So mote it be

Samhain Night (lorreena mckennitt)

When the moon on a cloud cast night
Hung above the tree tops' height
You sang me of some distant past
That made my heart beat strong and fast
Now I know I'm home at last.

You offered me an eagle's wing
That to the sun I might soar and sing
And if I heard the owl's cry
Into the forest I would fly
And in its darkness find you by.

And so our love's not a simple thing
Nor our truths unwavering
Like the moon's pull on the tide
Our fingers touch our hearts collide
I'll be a moonsbreath by your side.

Mystical Dream (lorrena mckennitt)

A clouded dream on an earthly night
Hangs upon the crescent moon
A voiceless song in an ageless light
Sings at the coming dawn
Birds in flight are calling there
Where the heart moves the stones
There that my heart is longing for
All for the love of you

A painting hangs on an ivy wall
Nestled in the emerald moss
The eyes declare a truce of trust
Then it draws me far away
Where deep in the desert twilight
Sand melts in pools of the sky
Darkness lays her crimson cloak
Your lamps will call, call me home

And so it's there that my homage's due
Clutch-ed by the still of the night
Now I feel, feel you move
And every breath, breath is full
So it's there my homage's due
Clutch-ed by the still of the night
Even the distance feels so near
All for the love of you

A clouded dream on an earthly night
Hangs upon the crescent moon
A voiceless song in an ageless light
Sings at the coming dawn
Birds in flight are calling there
Where the heart moves the stones
There at my heart is longing for
All for the love of you
