This chant was taught to me by Adam Walks Between Worlds at a Candlemas ritual the year before his death – I tried googling it today, and couldn’t find it at all, and since I think it is too lovely to be lost, I am posting it here.
If anyone knows more about this chant, please share it here. If I am in violation of someone’s copyright, please please let me know about it, and I will see if I can get permission to share this, or else take it down.
My goddess is a rock
and she whirls in space
whirls in space
whirls in space
My goddess is a Lady
with a great green face
the miracle where I was born.
I wish I knew a way to notate how this is supposed to sound — the voice deepens and slows on the repetitions of ‘whirls in space’, and the last line is very sing songy. I remember we talked about if it was properly a chant or a song.
If you are interested in hearing this chant as I learned it, drop me an email and we can set something up – maybe I can make a recording of it.
This chant happens to be a favorite of the Bee’s – I’ve sung her to sleep with it for years.
There was a second verse — which I only remember vaguely. My god he is a star….. something…. with a radiant face. I believe this is on an album by Gwidyon. Also, I think the word is “sweet” instead of “great” in the lyrics.
I also sang this to my son — born a couple years after Adam crossed. He loved to hear it while nursing and referred to it as “sweet face”.
Thank you for the second verse, Amy! I’ll look through my Gwydiion stuff for it — but I don’t think it’s in what I have. I had the impression it was something Adam had written.
I remembered more…
My god he is a star and he shines in space, shines in space, shines in space. my god he is a star with a great radiant face. He’s warmed the earth since she was born.
Thanks for posting this.
