Liturgical Songs and Chants

We Approach the Sacred Grove

We approach the sacred grove,
With hearts and minds and flesh and bone,
Join us now in ways of old,
We have come home.

Oh Earth Mother

Oh Earth Mother, we praise thee

That seed springeth,
That flower openeth,
That grass waveth...

We praise thee, for winds that whisper

Through the shining grass,
Through lively pine,
Through the mighty oak...

We praise thee, for all things.
Oh Earth Mother, you who givest life.

(Words by the RDNA, music by Richard MacKelley.)

We Are One

We are one, in our grove,
upon the earth, within the sea, beneath the sky.
We are joined, to send our call,
to the honored dead, to the spirit folk, to the blessed gods.
We praise thee, in one voice, in our sacred grove.
We are one.

(Words and music by Ian Corrigan.)

Portal Song

CHORUS
By Fire and by Water, between the Earth and Sky
We stand like the World-Tree rooted deep, crowned high.

Come we now to the Well, the eye and the mouth of Earth,
Come we now to the Well, and silver we bring,
Come we now to the Well, the waters of rebirth,
Come we now to the Well, together we sing:

CHORUS

We will kindle a Fire, Bless all, and with harm to none,
We will kindle a Fire, and offering pour,
We will kindle a Fire, A light 'neath the Moon & Sun,
We will kindle a fire, our spirits will soar.

CHORUS

Gather we at the Tree, the root & the crown of all,
Gather we at the Tree, Below & above,
Gather we at the Tree, Together we make our call,
Gather we at the Tree, In wisdom & love.

CHORUS (with gusto)

(Words and music by Ian Corrigan İStonecreed Grove, ADF)

Gatekeeper Chant

We invoke you\\ Opener of every gate
We invoke you
Opener of every gate.

You will reach us, you will teach us
And reveal our fate.
You will reach us, you will teach us
And reveal our fate.

(Words and music by Sable.)

Mothers and Fathers of Old

From far beyond this mortal plane, mothers and fathers of old,
We pray that you return again, mothers and fathers of old.
To share with us the mysteries and secrets long untold,
Of the ancient ways we seek to reclaim, mothers and fathers of old.

(Words and music by Sable.)

Fur and Feather

Fur and feather and scale and skin,
Different without but the same within,
Many of body but one of soul,
Through all creatures are the gods made whole.

(Words and music by Sable.)

Hail All the Gods

Hail all the Gods,
Hail all the Goddesses,
Hail all the Holy Ones,
We dwell together.

Walk With Wisdom

Walk with wisdom from this hallowed place.
Walk not in sorrow, our roots shall ere embrace.
May strength be your brother, and honor be your friend,
And luck be your lover until we meet again.

(Words and music by Sable.)
