	THERE IS STILL POWER IN THE ANCIENT NAMES   
		     
	There is Still Power in the Ancient Names 
	  
	from Names by Clay Gilbert, adapted by Pythia & Xia Celebrant: text 
	People: These words, remembered, wake 
	Her.   
	There is still power in the ancient names 
	Forgotten, She does not die, 
	but sleeps, whispering in Her dreams. 
	These words, remembered, wake Her.   There is still power in 
	the ancient names surrounded by concrete In the midst of an 
	urban jungle These words, 
	remembered, wake Her.   There is still power in 
	the ancient names- Isis, Astarte, Diana- As we call, chant, and 
	pray These words, 
	remembered, wake Her.   There is still power in 
	the ancient names No grove beneath our 
	feet, only the rough skin of 
	gravel and concrete These words, 
	remembered, wake Her.   There is still power in 
	the ancient names Every breeze whispers 
	Her name. Every moonbeam holds 
	Her spirit. These words, 
	remembered, wake Her.   There is still power in 
	the ancient names as we sound them forth Hecate, Demeter, Kali- These words, 
	remembered, wake Her.   There is still power in 
	the ancient names No longer forgotten. 
	She sleeps by the roadside Surrounded by 
	technology. These words, 
	remembered, wake Her.   There is still power 
	in the ancient names. These words, 
	remembered, wake Her.
