I am the
daughter of
Earth and
Water
And the
nursling to
the sky; I
flow through
the pores of
oceans and
shores
I change, but
I cannot die.
-Percy Shelley
(from Patricia Telesco's book
The Wiccan Book of
Ceremonies and Rituals)
Chants My deepest thanks to all those who have taken the time to document and share these chants with me. Included are the members of Chalice Well, Madron Well, the Earthspirit Community, Lorelei Greenwood, Alan Windreader and many more. Each one of you has inspired me to find my own voice and given me the courage to use it. I know you help others do the same every day. We are blessed to have such dedicated people within our community.
