Book I: T he Magick Circle 79
80. We are the Flow (round)
We are the flow, and we are the ebb;
We are the weavers, we are the web!
We are the weavers, we are the web;
We are the spiders, we are the thread!
We are the spiders, we are the thread
We are the Witches, back from the dead!
We are the Witches, back from the dead;
We are the flow, and we are the ebb!
—Shekinah Mountainwater
81. Spell of Manifestation
As above me, so below
As outside, so within
The Power’s mine, the Light divine
The Magick now begins!
By Fire and Water, Air and Earth
My Magick brings the spell to birth
By light of Star and Moon and Sun
As I do will, so be it done!
—Ian Corrigan
82. Cauldron of Changes
Cauldron of changes, blossom of bone,
Ark of eternity, hole in the stone.
—Oothoon/Morning Glory Zell
83. Well Song (round)
We will never, never lose our way
To the well, of Her memory
And the power, of the living flame,
It will rise, it will rise again!
Like the grasses, through the dark,
Through the storm,
Towards the sunlight, we shall rise again!
We are searching, for the Waters of Life,
We are moving, we shall live again!
—Starhawk, Rose May Dance,
Raven Moonshadow
84. Mystery Chant
Tumble the bones; Cast the stones
Dream the night; Open your sight
She waits within; Now we begin
See the flame; Whisper Her name
Hear Her voice; Remember the choice
Truth She explains; Mystery remains.
—Laura Cates
85. River Song (round)
The river is flowing, flowing and growing,
The river she is flowing, down to the sea
Mother, carry me; your child I’ll ever be.
(or: A child I will bear for thee)
Mother, carry me, down to the sea.
The Moon she is changing, waxing and waning,
The Moon she is changing, high above me.
Sister, challenge me, your child I’ll ever be,
Sister, wait for me, ‘til I am free.
—Diana Hildebrand-Hull
86. We Are an Old People
We are an old people,
We are a new people,
We are the same people,
Stronger than before!
We are an old planet
We are a new planet
We are the same planet,
Greener than before!
—1st verse, Morning Feather
—2nd verse, Julie Middleton
87. Fur and Feather
Fur and feather and scale and skin
Different without but the same within.
Many of body but one of Soul;
Through all creatures are the Gods made whole!
—Sable
88. 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
—Linda Hirschhorn
89. When We Are Gone
When we are gone, they will remain
Wind and rock, fire and rain
They will remain, when we return
The wind will blow, and the fire will burn
—Starhawk, Anne Hill
