Chants examples

SWEEPING CHANT

All that be ill be swept away, by birch and ash and sickled hay. Bound by willow, stung by thorn, tread the mill of the circle born

SPRING EQUINOX CHANT

The moon goes round the earth, the earth goes round the sun,

when day and night are equal, the greening has begun

DARK MOON SCRYING CHANT

Dark the moon and dark the night, bring the gift of second sight.

This circle cast chant can be spoken or sung.

CIRCLE CAST

By the Blade a Circle born, between the worlds a boundary formed.

By the Powers raised herein, to Guard without and hold within, be this circle cast.

0:00.0	Hey everyone. Welcome back to Seeking Witchcraft. I'm your host Ashley, and today I have on Gabby,
0:07.6	who is going to be talking all about using your voice and magic or aka the magical voice. So Gabby,
0:13.3	thank you so much for coming on. Thanks, Ashley. So as you said, my name is Gabby. I'm a gardenarian high
0:18.5	priestess. And as well as practicing and teaching wicker, I also
0:22.0	teach eclectic wick and wick and based witchcraft. I've been a solitary witch, as well as a member
0:27.1	of groves and of covens. I've been running small and large pagan rituals and gatherings
0:32.1	in both private and public settings for more than 25 years. And these events have usually had an emphasis on group
0:38.8	practice, combining music, storytelling, trance, dance, meditation, silence, gestures, movement,
0:44.8	and also an excess of decorative elements because you always need to have the shiny. But I like
0:51.7	to give witches and pagans the tools to practice their crafts in ways that work for them.
0:56.2	And my background is in video and TV production, scheduling, music and events.
1:00.5	And so given this, I try to draw upon all of those practical lessons and elements of the mundane crafts
1:06.0	to complement and enhance my magical and my ritual world.
1:09.9	And just a heads up, I'm not a professional
1:11.6	singing teacher or a vocal coach, but I am an experienced ritualist, witch, and sing a songwriter,
1:17.3	and I try and weave music into most of my rituals and magic. And as everyone can hear, I am also
1:23.5	Australian, which means that I circle backwards and my elemental correspondences are upside down,
1:28.7	but I did translate things for everybody. So hopefully it will all make sense and you can understand
1:33.1	me. Yeah, I think we'll be able to understand. But, you know, actually, that might be something
1:38.0	new for the listener. So could you explain what you mean when you say that you circle backwards compared
1:42.1	to us in this hemisphere? So it's all to do with the directions and the apparent movement of the sun through the sky.
1:48.1	So for the northern hemisphere, which is most of the time you would be going clockwise,
