“Chant for Self-Esteem”

Earth, Water, Fire, Air
Within me all things are there
Flesh on my bones is like the Earth
It’s soft but strong and full of worth
The blood that flows within my veins
Is like the ocean, river and rain
My spirit soars and takes me higher
Here is where I keep my fire
My breath and thoughts are like the air
I can do everything and go anywhere
Earth, Water, Fire and Air
Within me all things are there
And so I pledge unto myself
Power, Love, Health and Wealth.

The circle's bound!
Evil sink into the ground!"

I am the four winds
I breath and am by their presence
I am the elements and their family
They are my kin
I am the freedom of the wind
I am the agility of the fire

My love of nature from the earth
My ignorance the darkness
my truth I tell the light
my attitude the ice
Of these things I will always be
Blessed Be

Her name cannot be spoken,
Her face was not forgotten,
Her power is to open,
Her promise can never be broken. (spring)
All sleeping seed She wakens
The rainbow is Her token,
Now winter’s power is taken,
In love, all chains are broken. (fall)
All seeds She deeply buries,
She weaves the thread of seasons.
Her secret, darkness carries,
She loves beyond all reason.
She changes everything she touches
And everything She touches changes (repeat)
Change is, Touch is, change IS.
Change us, Touch us, change US.
Everything lost is found again
In a new form, in a new way.
Everything hurt is healed again,
In a new life, In a new day.

*Dancing With Dragons* by D.j. Conway
The Sun is out.
The day is bright.
The dragons dance upon the grass
And trees and flowers brilliant.
On the winds they pass.
In and out among the clouds
They frolic in the light,
Sliding down the sunbeams,
Dragons crystal bright.
When the Sun has passed beyond
Mountains turned purple-blue,
The dragons dance on through the night
On strands of Moon-lit dew.
They dance to strains of music
Unheard by human ears,
As they have danced through eons,
Untouched by human years.
Teach me,lovely dragons,
To dance with joy life's plan,
To lift myself to higher planes
Above the limits of common man.

“Circle Round”

Circle round for freedom
Circle round for peace
For all of us imprisoned
Circle for release
Circle for the planet
Circle for each soul
For the children of our children
Keep the circle whole!

“Blessing of the Elements”

Blessed Be the precious and preserving Air
the breath of life, of inspiration and delight.
Blessed Be the precious and preserving Fire
the blood of life, our warming guest.
Blessed Be the precious and preserving Water
the water of life, our cleansing guest.
Blessed Be the precious and preserving Earth
the flesh of life, our sustainer and our wisdom.

August 11

Car protection Chant

"Taliesin, Merlyn, and Cerridwen
Protect me now, your safe guard send.
Help me see clearly, on every street.
No accidents, no harm, I will meet.
Copper star, by my fingers made,
Protect me on this very day
Keep me in your orange glow,
behind the wheel, I'm in control.
East then South, then West and North
All directions guarded, from this day forth.
By the law of three, so mote it be.

Lammas Chant (for next year)

Ashes to Ashes, dust to dust
We shall go as we can and do as we must.
The body may die but the Spirit is Free
To do greater wonders, so mote it be!

Ashes to ashes, clay to clay
We shall seek for our center and find our own way
The flesh may be blind but the Spirit can see
The Gods within all, so mote it be!

Ashes to ashes, sand to sand,
We will use all our talents to heal our great land
The flesh may be weak, but the Spirit in me
Is full with Her blessings, so mote it be!

*Perform as a chant, begin as a whisper and increase the volume as the collective level of energy grows.

HALLOWEEN CHANT

This chant can be outdoors around a bonfire or inside around an extra large altar candle.

Yet shall it return.
Clear and bright in the night,
Burn, fire, burn!
Dance the ring, luck to bring,
When the year's a turning.
Chant the rhyme at Hallows time,
When the fire's burning.
Fire glow, vision show
Of the heart's desire,
When the spell's chanted well
Of the witching fire.
Dance the ring, luck to bring,
When the year's a turning.
Chant the rhyme at Hallows time,
When the fire's burning.
Fire spark, when nights are dark,
Makes our winter's mirth.
Red leaves fall, earth takes all,
Brings them to rebirth.
Dance the ring, luck to bring,
When the year's a turning.
Chant the rhyme at Hallows time,
When the fire's burning.
Fire fair, earth and air,
And the heaven's rain,
And blessed be, and so may we,
At Hallows time again.
Dance the ring, luck to bring,
When the year's a turning.
Chant the rhyme at Hallows time,
When the fire's burning.
