BURNING TIMES/CHANT      
                          -Charles Murphy 1980
                                       
In the cool of the evening, they used to gather, ‘neath stars in
      the meadow, circled near an old oak tree.
At the times appointed by the seasons of the Earth, and the phases
      of the moon.                     
In the center of them stood a woman, equal with the others, and
      respected for her worth.         
One of the many we call the Witches, the teachers and the keepers
      of the wisdom of the Earth       
The people grew through the knowledge she gave them, herbs to heal
      their bodies, spells to make their spirits whole.
Hear them chanting healing incantations, calling forth the Wise
      Ones, celebrating in dance and song
