Fire & Wind Chant

This chant is used to raise and stir magical energy for ritual and working through rhythm, voice, and movement. Its verses are designed to build momentum and volume with each repetition.

This chant can be spoken aloud on its own or accompanied by movement: clapping, stomping, nodding the head, swaying, dancing, bells or simple gestures. Begin slowly and steadily, then increase the speed and volume as the chant continues. In group settings, this chant can be layered as a round. For simplicity or solo use, it can also be broken into repeating couplets, using whichever couplet resonates most with you and your work.

The power raised through this chant can be directed into spellwork, used to open trance states, or released at its peak with the final line.

Chant:

Fire in the foot, wind in the hand,
By iron and ash, by sea and land.
Tongue to flame and breath to spark,
Turn the wheel, awake the dark.

Storm-born spirits, wild and wise,
Come on the current, ride the skies.
Witch-fire rises, heart beats fast,
By pact and power, spell is cast.

Blood to ember, bone to stone,
Light the path, break the throne!
Round and round the power sways,
By word and will, by olden ways!

Now is the hour, the working begun,
By night, by fire, by moon, by sun!

Release and direct the energy on the final line. I recommend doing this with a gesture, such as pointing the Witching Fingers (the index and middle finger of the dominant hand) at an item you are working with or a spell you are casting.
