Hoof and horn, hoof and horn, all that dies shall be reborn
Corn and grain, corn and grain, all that falls shall rise again

We come to praise the Lord Poseidon! (x2)
All hail the Lord of the Sea! (x2)
Strong Like the Ocean
Gentle like rain
River, wash my tears away
Aphrodite, Aphrodite
Sea foam, sea spray
Love us, we pray
Aphrodite
Lessers Part 2
Ancient Mother, I hear you calling
Ancient Mother, I feel your pain
Ancient Mother, I hear you crying
Ancient Mother, I taste your tears
Gayatri Mantra
Aum Bhur Bhuvah Svah
Tat Savitur Varenyam
Bhargo Devasya Dheemahi
Dhiyo Yo nah Prachodayat
I am the Goddess
My feet are rooted
Deep within the Earth
My head among the stars
My crown the universe
My arms are open wide
To hold eternity
I am the tie that binds
Encircling you and me
I am the Goddess
In life is death, in death is life
Round the tree of life, we go
Twisting, turning, quick and slow
Wending, winding, to and fro
Endings to beginnings flow.
Greater Mysteries
Earth my body, water my blood. Air my breath and fire my spirit (x2)
I am born of the elements (x4)
Other songs
(not to be sung along with performers)
I see the moon and the moon sees me
Down through the leaves of the old oak tree
Please let the moon that shines on me
Shine on the one I love.
Over the mountains and over the sea
Back where my heart is longing to be
Please let the moon that shines on me
Shine on the one I love.
