Inspire all our earthly arts.

We give to You our praises here!

New Ancestor's Chant (by GOG's former Bard, Jenne Micale)

Grandmother, Grandfather
Grandmother, Grandfather
Sacred Sisters and Brothers,
Ancestors, Come.

Mothers and Fathers of Old (by Sable)

From far beyond this mortal plane,
Mothers and Fathers of old,
We pray that You return again,
Mothers and Fathers of old.
To share with us the mysteries
And stories long untold (or secrets long untold...)
Of the ancient ways we seek to reclaim,
Mothers and Fathers of old.

Fur and Feather (by Sable)

Fur and feather and scale and skin
Different without but the same within.
Many of body but one of soul.
Through all creatures are the Gods made whole.

New Gods and Goddesses Chant (by GOG's former Bard, Jenne Micale)

Ladies of the Sacred Earth
Spirits and the Ancestors
We all dwell together

All the Gods!

All the Goddesses!

All the Gods and Goddesses!

Pigeon Song: (by Brighid Bardette & the Discordeadors)

Hail urban creatures across our whole land
Hail to the pigeons that feed from our hand
Praise them along with the stag and the lion
Part of the cosmos, there ain't no denyin'

Hail to the creatures that crawl 'cross our flats
The termites, the roaches, the mice, and the rats
Praise them along with the eagles that fly
All creatures of water, of earth, and of sky

Praise to the doggies that bark, whine, or beg
Praise to the kitties that scratch up your leg
Hail to the ferrets from Eris's hand
Hail to all creatures we don't understand

(instrumental break and lots of animal noises,
then repeat first verse....)

Waters of Life: (by Brighid Bardette & the Discordeadors)

Drink in the light
Give me them waters
Where do they come from?
The all-giving Mother
Milk of the Mother
Give me them waters
How do we thank her?
We thank her like this.
(Repeat and repeat...)

Green Man Recessional (Fare Thee Well): (by Brighid Bardette & the Discordeadors
(Click here for the full score)

The rituals' done and we want to go home.
And yet we stand here and continue to drone.
We're cold and we're tired and we need to be fed
And fortunately we are easily led.

We've sung all our praises and thank yous as well.
So what we do now, it's not hard to tell.
Let's not mill around here with nothing to do.
Let's all move our butts out and say our adieus.

So --
Fair thee well
You bet it was swell.
You're not alone, let's take it home,
Let's go
. (repeat)
