The river is flowing, flowing and growing
The river is flowing down to the sea
Mother Earth carry me a child I will always be
Mother Earth carry me down to the sea
The moon she is waiting, waxing and waning
The moon she is waiting until we are free
Sister moon watch over me a child I will always be
Sister moon watch over me until we are free
We are the old people
We are the new people
We are the same people
Deeper than before
We are the spinners
and weavers of destiny
we stitch together
the patterns of time
We spin out the seasons
one into the other
We weave the web
of the world's designs
I step into the flow
and then i let it go
I open my mind
my heart and my soul
x2
I surrender,
I surrender,
I surrender,
I open my mind my heart and my soul
Earth my body,
Water my blood
Air my Breath and
Fire my spirit
i am born of the elements
i am born of the elements
mother i feel you under my feet
mother i feel your heart beat
Simple recordings of chants for calling in elements, some for each elements
Some of the ones I give words for including - Rise with the Fire of Freedom, Born of water and more

For closing participant circle
Spiral Dance
Let it begin with each step we take, and
Let it begin with each change we make, and
Let it begin with each chain we break, and
Let it begin every time we awake.
Interspersed with
We are alive
With a growing call to
Let it begin now

Thinking of songs for the 4 directions to use in setting circle around camp
For fire
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
- Starhawk
OR
You Can't Kill the Spirit
You can't kill the spirit, She is like a mountain
Old and strong, She goes on and on and on
For Earth
Touching Her Deep *
Touching Her deep
Deep in our center
- Feather Singing
OR
My Roots Go Down
My roots go down, Down into the ground (3x)
My roots go down
Water
The river is flowing
Flowing and growing
the river is flowing, down to the sea
Mother carry me, your child I will always be
Mother carry me, down to the sea.
OR
Blood of the Ancients
It's the blood of the Ancients, that flows through our veins
And the forms pass, but the circle of life remains
- Charlie Murphy
Born of water
Born of water, cleansing powerful, healing, changing we are.
Before or after walking camp
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.
- Cathleen Shell, Cybele, Moonsea, Prune
Every Step I Take - alternate with sacred step
Every step I take is a healing step (2x)
Healing, healing
Healing my body
Healing, healing
Healing the Earth
- Donald Engstrom
Part of closing ritual as ending and opening circle
Remember the way of the air and breathe and blow
Remember the way of the fire and sparkle and glitter and glow
Remember the way of the water and ebb and flow
Remember the way of the earth and grow
We are an old people
We are a new people
We are the same people
Deeper than before
We All Come From the Goddess *
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
- Z. Budapest, Ian Corrigan
Dancing Circles in the Night
If the people live their lives
As if it were a song, for singing out of light
Provides the music for the stars
To be dancing circles in the night
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
- Rose May Dance, Starhawk
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 and Anne Hill
We are the Power in Everyone
We are the power in everyone
We are the dance of the moon and sun
We are the hope that will not hide
We are the turning of the tide
- Starhawk
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
- Starhawk
Koré Chant *
She changes everything She touches
And everything She touches changes
We are, Changers, Everything we touch can change
Change us, Touch us, Touch us, Change us
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
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
- Lauren Liebling, Starhawk
