Autumn's chants

Post by AutumnMaidens »

Me and my niece write chants and write music with them and sing them in. I have been working on a few but we havent had any time to propperly record any of them, I would still like to share them with anyone who might be interessted. Also suggestions would be nice, if you want a chant for a certain occasion or a certain god/goddess I can see what I can cook up. :D

While baking cakes

From the earth from which you came
Golden feast of corn and grain
Charge the feast I now prepare
So that your blessings we may share
May it taste as good as gold
And that therin my love may hold

While sweeping

Hestia Vesta hear my call
Help me clean from wall to wall
Charge my broom with every sweep
So that a clean house I may keep

For the Esbat

Selene, Luna, Diana, Artemis x3
Her breath the clouds her eyes the sea
Selene, Luna, Diana, Artemis
her hearts the fire that burns in me
Selene, Luna, Diana, Artemis
her body the earth we walk so humbly
Selene, Luna, Diana, Artemis x3

So, what do you guys think?

I love those, you are both clearly gifted with the power of words. I especially like the Sweeping one, I can see how the ryhme of the chant helps the act of cleaning. I also like how they are simplistic yet complex if that makes sense.
My soul is awakened, my spirit is soaring. And carried aloft on the wings of the breeze. For above and around me the wild wind is roaring. Arousing to rapture the earth and the seas.

Thank you ^^
The sweeping one pretty much wrote itself, I was cleaning my apartment and felt like I should do an honouring to the goddesses Hestia and Vesta whom are my household goddesses and so this little things popped up. I originally wanted to do one for the vaccum cleaner though, but this will just have to do. :)
I try not to make them to complicated because it has to be a catchy tune so that you can remember it while doing mundane everyday things. I actually wrote the music for it already but havent had a chance to record it.
Thank you for the sweet comment, hopefully I'll be able to record them soon.
Bless

I love it :).
When Time is at it pivotal; all answers will be spoken; all tongues will be silent; all hearts will be joyful; all will come to past; even as it is ending it shall be beginning so let it be.
