Elemental Quarter Call




The following is what I remember of a chant done
by a  now defunct vocal group in the DC area for a women's
circle. As long as no one objects to the lack of
male images, though, there isn't any reason you couldn't
use it in a mixed group.

"Earth Mother, come to me. Heal my wounds and comfort me.
   "     "       "   "  "    "   "   "     "  set me free.
   "     "       "   "  "    "   "   "     "  comfort me.
I am the Earth, I am the Earth.
I am the form of the Goddess.
(repeat last two lines)

Air, wind, breath and blow. Dawn light breezes go.
(repeat x2)
I am the breath, I am the breath,
I am the breath of the Goddess
(repeat)

Fire, fire, warm desire. Change me, form me 'til I'm higher.
(repeat x2)
I am the heat, I am the heat.
I am the heat of the Goddess
(repeat)

Water falling, rain and snow. Water rushing like a stream
Water spouting up in steam, rolling in the ocean.
 "      "      "  "   "       "      "  "   "
I am the tears, I am the tears
I am the tears of the Goddess.
(repeat)

Earth, Air, Fire, and Water
(repeat x3)

This does have a tune. It is not plainchant.
However, since I know nothing about transcribing music,
if you want the chant, you'll have to find
an old "Pomagrante" tape. Good Luck! ;-)
