GODDESS MEDLEY

1. Isis, Astarte, Diana, Hecate, Demeter, Kali, Inanna
2. We are an old people, we are a new people
We are the same people, Deeper than before.
3. I am a strong woman, I am a story woman,
I am a healer, My soul will never die.

AIR I AM

Air I am, Fire I am, Water, Earth and Spirit I am.

by Andras Corban Arthen, copyright 1982

RISE WITH THE FIRE

And we can rise with the fire of freedom,
Truth is the fire that burns our chains,
And we can stop the fire of destruction,
Healing is the fire running through our veins.

WE ALL COME FROM THE GODDESS/HOOF AND HORN

We all come from the Goddess,
And to Her we shall return
Like a drop of rain,
Flowing to the ocean.

Hoof and horn, hoof and horn, all that dies shall be reborn
Corn and grain, corn and grain,
All that falls shall rise again.

by Z. Budapest/Ian Corrigan

WE ALL COME FROM THE SUN GOD (same tune as above)

We all come from the Sun God,
And to Him we shall return
Like a spark of fire
Rising to the heavens.

by Lady Nokomis

WE ARE THE FLOW

We are the flow, we are the ebb,
We are the weavers, we are the web.

KORE CHANT

She changes everything she touches
And everything she touches changes.

Her name cannot be spoken, Her face was not forgotten;
Her power is to open, Her promise can never be broken.

All seeds She deeply buries, She weaves the thread of seasons
Her secret, darkness carries, She loves beyond all reason.

All sleeping seeds She wakens, The rainbow is Her token;
Now winter's power is taken, In love all chains are broken.

Everything lost is found again, in a new form, in a new way;
Everything hurt is healed again, In a new time, in a new day.

Bright as a flower and strong as a tree
With our love and with our rage,
Breaking our chains so we can be free
With our love and with our rage.

We are changers, everything we touch can change.
We are changers, everything we touch can change.

Change is, touch is, touch is, change is.
Change us, touch us, touch us, change us.

by Lauren Liebling, Starhawk

HORNED ONE

Horned One, lover, son
Leaper in the corn
Deep in the Mother
Die and be reborn.

by Buffalo

SNAKE WOMAN

Snake Woman, shedding her skin, (repeat)
Shedding, shedding, shedding her skin (repeat)
Bird Woman taking flight...
Star Woman shining bright...
Moon Woman riding the night...
Blossom Woman opening wide...

WHERE THERE'S FEAR THERE'S POWER

Where there's fear there's power, passion is the healer
Desire cracks open the gate -
If you're ready it'll take you through

But nothing lasts forever, time is the destroyer,
The wheel turns again and again -
Watch out, it'll take you through.

But nothing dies forever, Nature is the renewer,
The wheel turns again and again -
If you're ready it'll take you through.

by Starhawk

HECATE, CERRIDWEN

Hecate, Cerridwen, Dark Mother take us in
Hecate, Cerridwen, Let us be reborn.

by Patricia Witt

RETURN TO THE MOTHER

All over the world, the waters are breaking (repeat)
Everywhere, everywhere, the waters are breaking

And so return, return, return
Return to the Mother (repeat these two lines)

by Judy Grahn/Wind Hags

BORN OF WATER

Born of water, cleansing, powerful
Healing, changing, we are.

by Women's Workshop

AIR MOVES US

Air moves us, Fire transforms us
Water shapes us, Earth heals us
And the balance of the wheel goes 'round and 'round,
And the balance of the wheel goes 'round.

WATER AND STONE

Solid as a rock, Safe within the harbor
Ancient as a stone, and strong as the sea.
Solid as a rock, set deep within the Mother
And water that flows 'round me.

SUN KING

O tell me why, O tell me why,
Tell me why must the clouds come to darken the sky (repeat)

This is the wake of Lugh the Sun King
He lost his life on the Solstice Day
This is the wake of Lugh the Sun King
He steps into the dark and guides the way.

by Raven Moonshadow

WE ARE ALIVE

We are alive, as the earth is alive
We have the power to fight for our freedom.

If we have courage we can be healers
Like the sun, we shall rise (repeat)
