Made of ash and willow withe
Tied with thongs of willow bark
By running stream at moonset dark.

Sweep ye circle, deosil,
Sweep out evil, sweep out ill,
Make the round of the ground
Where we do the Lady's will.
Besom, besom, Witches' (or: Lady's) broom
Sweep out darkness, sweep out doom
Rid ye Lady's hallowed ground
Of demons, imps and Hel's red hounds;
Then stand ye down on Her green earth
By running stream or Mistress' hearth,
'Till called upon at Sabbath night
To cleanse once more the dancing site.

We Are The Old Women (People)
We are the old women (people): We are the new women (people)
We are the same women (people): Stronger (deeper, wiser etc..) than before
Wearing My Long Wing Feathers
Wearing my long wing (white) feathers as I fly
Wearing my long wing (white) feathers as I fly
I circle around, I circle around
The boundaries of the Earth: The endless universe
Arapaho Ghost Dance Song. Melody by Judith Foster (NROOGD)
We Have Gathered
We have gathered in their names: Now we sing them home again
Where I Am
I am the walking breath, I am the spirit of the earth
I am alive and walking, where I am is beautiful
Wiccan Amazing Grace
Amazing Grace, how sweet the earth
That formed (bore) a witch like me
I once was burned, now I survive
Was hanged but now I sing. (I'm free)
T'was grace that drew down the Moon
And grace that raised the sea
The magic of the people's will
Will set our Mother free
You Who Are The Circle
You who are the circle and You who are healing me
I who am the circle and I who am healing you
You are my people (Unite my people), be as one, be as one
You are my people (Unite my people), be as one, be as one
