Dark Goddess Medley is track 5 on Crow Goddess, the Crow Women’s first album. You can purchase the album here. Carole, a beloved crone in our circle, sings lead at the beginning of the track. The other singers are Alane, Anna, Deb, Donamarie, Donna, Melanie & Rebekah. We learned this song in a chant workshop at a Mabon festival in the 90s from Anie. It’s wonderful for fire circles, but a little tricky, so we often teach the arrangement in our “13 Chants for the Dark Goddess” chant workshop. Hecate, Cerridwen is © Patricia Witt. We don’t know who wrote Down We Go or Queen of Darkness, but if you know that, please contact us.
Lyrics
Hecate, Cerridwen
Dark mother, take us in
Hecate, Cerridwen
Let us be reborn
Down we go to the realms below
We bring with us our light to show
Up we rise with the dark in our eyes
We bring to light our piece of the night
Hey-oh, hey-oh-hey
Queen of Darkness, Ancient Hecate
Wheel a’turning, caludron stirring, stirring
