Witches’ Dance Power-Raising Chant

This is a power-raising rite rooted in rhythmic movement and sound, designed to build and release energy through the body and voice. Starting with a whisper, the chant begins slowly, the rhythm grounding the energy before it builds, growing louder and faster as the chant progresses. Any form of movement—whether dancing, swaying, hand or arm gestures, or even head nods—can be used to fuel the rising power.

Round and round the Devil goes,
Hoof and heel on the hollow road.
Round and round the witches fly,
Smoke in the air and fire in the sky.

Spirits gather, shadows call,
Through the gate, beyond the wall!
Cunning ones and creeping things,
Come to dance where the dark bell rings!

Round and round the Devil goes,
Hoof and heel on the hollow road!
Round and round the witches tread,
Charmed by the quick and led by the dead!

Now is the hour, now is the way!
Night is awake and the wind will obey!

At the final line, stop suddenly—power raised, held, and cast.
