THERE IS STILL POWER IN THE ANCIENT NAMES

 

 

 

There is Still Power in the Ancient Names

 

from Names by Clay Gilbert, adapted by Pythia & Xia

Celebrant: text

People: These words, remembered, wake Her.

 

There is still power in the ancient names

Forgotten, She does not die,

but sleeps, whispering in Her dreams.

These words, remembered, wake Her.

 

There is still power in the ancient names

surrounded by concrete

In the midst of an urban jungle

These words, remembered, wake Her.

 

There is still power in the ancient names-

Isis, Astarte, Diana-

As we call, chant, and pray

These words, remembered, wake Her.

 

There is still power in the ancient names

No grove beneath our feet,

only the rough skin of gravel and concrete

These words, remembered, wake Her.

 

There is still power in the ancient names

Every breeze whispers Her name.

Every moonbeam holds Her spirit.

These words, remembered, wake Her.

 

There is still power in the ancient names

as we sound them forth

Hecate, Demeter, Kali-

These words, remembered, wake Her.

 

There is still power in the ancient names

No longer forgotten. She sleeps by the roadside

Surrounded by technology.

These words, remembered, wake Her.

 

There is still power in the ancient names.

These words, remembered, wake Her.
