someone asked where the title came from? One of my favourite pagan chants.
BORN OF WATER

Born of water, cleansing, powerful
Changing healing, we are...
This goes well with
THE RIVER
The River is flowing,
Flowing and growing,
The River is flowing,
Down to the sea.
Mother Earth carry me, your child I will always be.
Mother Earth carry me down to the sea.
Here endeth water while I get on with earth shawl:) No name as yet we shall see what suggests itself as the shawl unfurls.
The musings and meanderings of a mixed media artist and yarn junkie who loves to knit,spin, crochet, make a mess, write and enjoy life. I try to follow the wheel of the year and enjoy each day of it. My art reflects that spiritual journey.

One of y most enduring memories was singing the river chant over and over with thousands of other women as we danced round and round by the light of hundreds of candles in the moonlight outside Greenham Common after the 'Embrace the Base' Another one that comes to mind is the Ova chant:
Under the full moonlight we dance
Spirits dance we dance
Joining hands we dance
Joining souls rejoice
