At the times appointed by the seasons of the [Em]earth and the phases of the [Am]moon. In the centre often stood a woman, [Em]Equal with the others and re[Am]spected for her worth. One of the many we call the witches, the [Em]healers and the teachers of the [Am]wisdom of the Earth. And the people grew in the knowledge she gave them, [Em]Herbs to heal their bodies, spells to [Am]make their spirits whole. Hear them chanting healing incantations, [Em]Calling forth the wise ones, celeb[Am]rating in dance and song. Isis, Astarte, Di[Em]ana, [Am]Hecate, Demeter, Kali, [G]Inan[Am]na
