Two chants

Posted on | March 31, 2006 | 1 Comment

Last fall, while waiting for the bus, I was thinking about how we needed a song for the lighting of the Samhain fires. The voice bubbled from inside:

Rise up, Sacred Fire! Burning divinity, live in me!

This last week, it began to rain as I was walking home from work. I had no umbrella. I lifted my head and this song flowed from my heart:

I am washed
Washed in the tears of the Goddess.
And her rain
Carries away all my pain.
I am washed
Washed in the tears of the Goddess.
And her love
Flows over me in a flood.

I am not exactly sure where these come from. I don’t write them consciously. They bubble up from the divine inside as it connects sporatically with the divine beyond. It’s just there, and then it’s gone. But I have a song or two to remember it by.

    Love these! You’ll have to sing them for me. They are both fantastic and I can see using them in ritual.
