Merry meet.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

In my practice, I accept that everything has a vibration, be it an object such as a besom, or a sound such as a bell. Our own voices put out vibrations that are like no other. Your voice is your unique signature. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

As was explained on the Wicca Spirituality website, <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>\u201c<\/span><\/span><\/span>When you sing magical chants and songs, you bind your intention to the vibrations of your voice, vibrations which you send out into the ever-vibrating world.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

It<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>\u2019<\/span><\/span><\/span>s reflected in the word en<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>chant<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span>ment, as your magical intention is wrapped into a chant <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>\u2013 <\/span><\/span><\/span>or a song <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>\u2013 <\/span><\/span><\/span>and released to the Universe.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I like to chant and sing during ritual, and have been toying with the idea of doing a ritual completely with songs. It helps that I don<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>\u2019<\/span><\/span><\/span>t mind using electronics in sacred space, because an iPod is perfect for this. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Below, I share with you a playlist that takes you from grounding and centering to opening the circle <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>\u2013 <\/span><\/span><\/span>all using songs. A link is provided for each. Please forgive any ads that appear. Alternatives are noted and lyrics are given after the playlist in the same order songs appear. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I hope this inspires you to share your suggestions and experiences.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
