Voices of the Earth:
Pagan Songs and Chants
by Shanddaramon
This is a book of songs and chants for the Pagan community or for anyone who may want to sing songs that celebrate Earth, the Spirit of all life, and cosmic cycles. I know that there are already some time-honored chants that most Pagans come to learn and love but in my many years of leading rituals I have found that there is always a need for more. Inevitably, the part of a ritual that is most enjoyed and talked about is the singing and the dancing. Pagan spirituality is about moving and expressing Spirit and what better way is there to do that than through song and dance?
