Chant for Ancestor -- Chant for All-Mother

Honor your ancestors

For the Disting (Imbolc) --

Mothers and mothers and sisters and kin

Grandmothers, the children are calling you in,

To the center to meet where it all once began,

In the circle, the center again,

In the circle, the center again

And again…

Mothers and Mothers, Grandmothers and all

Come to the circle, oh come at our call,

For we seek thee for answers,

We seek thee for might,

We call for our loved ones tonight,

Oh, we call for our loved ones tonight,

Oh, tonight.

Sisters and Sisters, our sisters so fair,

We call for you dancing, oh, dancing on air,

As we circle and sing in this center we share,

And there’s no telling who will come here,

Will come here

And there’s no telling who will come share

With us here.

For Loafmas (Lammas)

Fathers and Fathers and brothers and kin

Grandfathers, the children are calling you in,

To the center to meet where it all once began,

In the circle, the center again,

In the circle, the center again

And again…

Fathers and Fathers and brothers and kin

Come to the circle, oh come at our call,

For we seek thee for answers,

We seek thee for might,

We call for our loved ones tonight,

Oh, we call for our loved ones tonight,

Oh, tonight.

Brothers and brothers, our brothers so fair,

We call for you dancing, oh, dancing on air,

As we circle and sing in this center we share,

And there’s no telling who will come here,

Will come here

And there’s no telling who will come share

With us here.

(If you have created a special candle for your feminine ancestors, light this candle now. A large candle is good to use, so that you can light it again at new or full moons throughout the year. A good practice to stay in touch and strengthen ties is to do Friday blessings to feminine ancestors, keeping this theme throughout the year. (Friday is Frija’s day, a day of Venus energy).

 (Honor the Mother of ALL)

If you have been making a toast in this rite, to the Handmaidens, to Frigga, to your Ancestors, now it is time to make one more, another glass of honey mead is poured:

Mother of All-Mother,

Mother of us all,

We seek to walk lightly,

Your wisdom to keep,

To follow the way of the Earth,

Mother, All-Mother

In meadow and Hall

Pathways to oldways

Now waking from sleep

Show us the way of the Earth

Mother of All-Mother,

The song when it calls

Sings to us nightly

And visits in sleep

And we follow the way of the Earth,

Mother, All-Mother

We rise and we fall,

From living to dying,

The crest and the deep,

To follow the way of the Earth

In the seed and the song

Of the Earth…
