Kasandra,
ā€œOw my,ā€ I love the Dragon :dragon: Energy! I like that we can incorporate Dragons in our rituals for extra strength and power! Thanks for sharing you always give thanks to what we do have! That is a good practice to have, and I am working with that too!

Christina, what a good poem and thank you for the chant information!

So for the challenge, do we need to write our own? I can try my hand at this. For some reason I am totally freaked out, though!

Thatā€™s a great resource- thanks for sharing, @Christina4! And a round of applause to you for the chant poem- I am lovely the firey and loving theme! :heart::fire: Great job!

Gorgeous, @Silverbear! The content you create is always beautiful, and you have a real talent for writing chants :smiling_face_with_three_hearts: Thanks for sharing!

It seems that Singold has been reaching out to you, @Kasandra- what a wonderful idea to write a chant in his honor! :blue_heart: :white_heart:

That sounds like a perfect task to dedicate a new chant to, @Amethyst! May your new pendant be lovely, and may it be cleansed by the power of your lovely chant! :notes::blush:

Youā€™re very welcome @Susurrus! Looking forward to seeing what you will do for the challenge- good luck and have fun! :heart:

Let your creativity soar, @NickWick! :dove: Your chants are always amazing- looking forward to reading your lovely words once again! Good luck! :sparkles:

Writing a chant can be very tricky, especially if it is your first time! Feel free to write if you feel the words bubbling up inside of you, but there is absolutely no need to write a chant for this challenge, @sarah29 :blush::+1: There are many wonderful chants and chant spells already out there- so feel free to explore and find a new chant, or follow along with a spell that uses a chant! These are all perfectly fine ways to tackle the challenge- good luck! :sparkling_heart:

Donā€™t be freaked out @sarah29 ! It can just be a short little thing. Chants donā€™t have to be long. You got this!

For instance, hereā€™s the first of my chants for this week. I intend to write one to Gaia later this weekend but I thought of this just this morning.

The seed.
The sprout.
The bloom.
The fruit.

Say it over and over and itā€™s a chant! :smiley:

I added my entry to the challenge in a separate post: Witchy Challenge Entry - Ritual & Chant for Goddess Artemis. I learned a lot about her & I think I will look more into her throughout the day. Then I will get into the relationship with Diana, I canā€™t tackle too many things at once or the information gets all jumbled in my head. :rofl:

This one is tricky for meā€™ and it has been for awhile. Writing my own spells have been a challenge for meā€™ to Rhyme or not to, to making sure the right words are spoken etc. I meanā€™ I love my lil sayings that help me focus or should I say ā€œget it togetherā€ lol. I clap a lot , along with a Mantra to awaken the stagnant energy around me. Iā€™ve used chants before for my own energy work with yoga. So this shall be interestingā€™ & fun ā€˜ lol.

I know exactly what you mean :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

I love writing spells! I think a good starting point is to use an existing one, like a song that I like.

Especially if the words have a special meaning (in my view). The meaning of the words is more important than who created it or what it meant originally.

Iā€™d like to enter this challenge as my first one! @BryWisteria
When I cast circle, I like to chant ā€œI cast this circle thrice about, to keep all negativity out. All thatā€™s raised shall stay within, and now the veil is getting thin!ā€ I repeat this three times as I walk around the circle three times. I am also very interested in the practice of Galdr, or ritual runic chanting. I follow the Norse pantheon and am very interested in using the runes as a form of spellwork, which was historically done via Galdr and runstaffr (as far as they can tell). Galdr from what I have read, involves entering a trance state and chanting the names of the runes in order to invoke their essence and energy into your body. Different runes can be chanted together to weave a spell which begins to take effect.

A lovely chant to Gaia- bravo, @Amethyst! :green_heart:

Thanks again for your wisdom about Artemis, @Susurrus- it was a pleasure to learn about Her! :blush:

Good luck and enjoy, @steph! :clap: Feel free to write your own chant, or relax and listen along with one of your favorites- and on that note, if you have any favorite chants, please feel free to share them here! :star_struck:

Beautiful combination of chants and casting circles, @Katy_Mysticsens! How exciting to add runes as well- really great job! :sparkles:

Wow I am very intrigued by this little information right here :thinking: @Katy_Mysticsens donā€™t know much about runes but it is nice to know that different runes can be chanted together to weave a spell which begins to take effect during a spell. I am thankful for this information :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

I am inlove working with chants, words, rhythm and rhyme and I must say I love your chant for your casted circle. It will be nice for you to enter this challenge too, you would lšŸ’— ve it.

Blessed BešŸ’«

This challenge was easier than expected. Iā€™m usually terrible at rhyming, but, surprisingly, I was able to! Iā€™m sure I have the dragons to thank for that!:grin:

Itā€™s a bit short, but I think itā€™s to the point and not too bad for my first attempt at writing a chant. :sweat_smile:

Feel free to use it in any of your rituals or meditations!

Have a blessed Friday! :sparkles:

Singoldā€™s Devotional Prayer For Gratitude

Hail Singold, the twelfth dragon of the Earth-Walk clan,

you who have the spirit of an old war horseā€”experienced, strong, and loyal.

You wander the third dimension, guiding the the souls of woman and man,

your brilliant scales shining brighter than the crowned jewels of any royal.

Heal my soul, O Great Dragon,

releasing all fears, doubts, and regrets that are holding me back, so that I may thrive.

May I always remember to give thanks for all that the Universe has given me,

and may I always revel in the pure joy of being alive.

So it is now, so mote it be.

Thank you so much! @NickWick
@BryWisteria Thanks also, I am glad you like it!
And I am glad you also liked my chant, @Amethyst
Galdr is a fascinating topic, as well as most runic magick. I love the Norse traditions. :smiling_face_with_three_hearts: Next I want to learn about Seidr.

:last_quarter_moon_with_face:I gaze into the White Moon

And boom I attune, with the Lord and Lady

Into the mystery of the universe.

Soon a single phase of divinity immersed :pentagram:

Behold threefold I am a Witch with infinite roots :infinite_roots: (x3 Say)

With love among the stars :star_and_crescent:

And Strength, Beauty, Power, Compassion,

Honor and Humility, and Mirth!

Blessed Be! :star2:
