Element Chant © 1995 C. Williamson
Earth my body
Water my blood
Air my breath
And fire my spirit
I am born of the elements
Earth my body
Soil and sand
Make me strong
Heart and hand
Water my blood
Flowing strong
Lead me with
Your healing song
Air my breath
Blowing true
Let my life
Take flight in you
Fire my spirit
Burning bright
Lead from darkness
Into light

I Am © 1997 C. Williamson
I am the trees
Bowing, bending
I am the trees
Kiss the earth again
I am the sun
Burning, changing
I am the sun
Kiss the flame again
I am the stream
Flowing, shaping
I am the stream
Kiss the sea again
I am the song
Floating, calling
I am the song
Kiss the wind again

Freedom © 1997 C. Williamson
I can no more be bound
than the hawk in flight
And I am the fires
that burn in the night
And I am the shaking
and the quaking of the earth
And I am the waters
of the world’s rebirth
I am freedom, I am freedom,
I am freedom, I am freedom
I am no more contained
than the waves on the sea
And I am the fire
that burns in all things
The bell that tolls with freedom’s call
shake when you hear me ring
I am freedom, I am freedom,
I am freedom, I am freedom

One Spirit © 2000 PJ Seale
One spirit in the dark
Like a candle waivers
Many spirits joined as one
Burn with the power of the blazing sun
There is strength in community
A circle empowering you and me
The circle binds, yet sets us free
In the Goddess’ name, so mote it be

Mother Mine © 2000 C. Williamson
Mother mine, earth the land I live on
Mother mine, sea from which I came
Mother mine, sky the ceiling above me
Mother mine, the ever burning flame
Through dark of night, I see you shine
Sweet silver light, oh mother mine

She Makes a Place for Me © 1997 C. Williamson
She makes a place for me in the blowing wind
She makes a place for me in the bright blue sky
She makes a place for me where my spirit can soar
She makes a place for me where I may fly
Chorus:
She is the Lady, she is the Lady
She is the mother of all life
She is the dancer in the starlight
She is the queen of the night
She makes a place for me in the burning fire
She makes a place in the dancing flame
She knows what I mean when I’m filled with desire
She knows what I need when I call her name
She makes a place for me in the flowing water
She makes a place for me in the deep green sea
She makes a place for me and for all of her children
She makes a place for me were I can swim free
She makes a place for me in the damp brown earth
She makes a place for me where I may lie
She’s made a place for me since the moment of my birth
She’ll make a place for me ‘til the day I die

The Moon is High (Spiral Rhythm version) © Unknown
The moon is high on this night of power
The children come at the witching hour
Our hands are raised to the four directions
Spirit power is ours again
Descant © 1997 C. Williamson
Oh, she rises high above us
As her children gather ‘round
Hear us call them, all the elements
Ours again, ours again
(Original Version
The moon is high at the witching hour
The children come to the place of power
Our hands are raised to the four directions
Spirit power is ours again)

Why Do You Call

Why Do You Call © 1997 C. Williamson
Why do you call me into the sky?
Why do I hear you sing?
Why do you tell me it’s time to fly?
I’m not yet ready to take wing
Chorus:
And why, why, why do I fly, why do I soar to the sun?
I’ve places to be, and people to see, and tasks I have not yet begun.
Why, why, why do I fly, why do I soar to the sun?
I cannot start to take my heart away from anyone.
Why do you call me into the fire?
Why does it crackle my name?
Why do you fill me with this desire,
To join you and dance in the flame?
Why do you call me into the water?
Why call me into the sea?
I’ve not yet finished raising my children,
There are lessons yet set for me.
Why do you call me into the earth,
Down where the roots all grow?
I’m not yet ready for my next birth,
I’m not yet ready to go.

Life Circle © 1997 C. Williamson
Little girl, picking flowers, in the green, green meadow
Little boy, fishing, trying to catch her eye
Little girl, running barefoot, in the green, green meadow
Little boy sees the wind, says “I believe we can fly”
Chorus
And they return to me in the spirit
And they return to me again
And they return to me in the spirit
And the circle never ends
Young woman starts to soar in the great blue sky
Young man follows as his heart takes wing
Young woman turning circles in the great blue sky
Young man touches sun’s fire as his love begins to sing
Ch
Mother wraps her arms around him like a burning flame
Father sparks deep within her, his lady brave
Mother shines bright with him like a burning lame
Father, his fires burst forth into her ocean’s wave
Ch
Grandmother, she sails her ship to the water’s end
Grandfather, he leads her there with his luminescent glow
Grandmother, she starts to drift at the water’s end
Grandfather, he takes her by the hand to where the spirits go

Drum Circle © 1998 K. Hirsch, R. Neyer, A. Boehm
Feel the power rising from the drummers
The rhythm and the beat rising in your soul
The pounding of the skins beat with the pounding of your heart
The rhythm of the drums makes your spirit soar
Dancing with the drummers
Uniting with each other
Your body moves and the spirit sings
And we dance the embrace of lover’s wings
Hail to all the spirits watching
Joining in the celebration
Feel the freedom, power and love
Coursing through your body, inviting you near
Blessed be all who are gathered here
To complete this joyous rite
Power of the drums, freedom of the dance
The gifts of the watchers all make the circle whole

The Sound of Change © C Williamson 1997
Wind blows, fire burns,
Water flows and the earth turns
Wind blows, fire burns,
Water flows and the earth turns
Can you hear it?
Can you hear it?
Can you hear it?
That's the sound of Change,
That's the sound of change
Oh, that's the sound of change
Wind blows, lifts you up,
Lets you touch the sky,
And the fire burns your spirit black
Forges freedoms cry
Water flows through your veins becomes your salty tears
And the earth she turns upon her course
Marks your living years
