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
