V6-MINI

### Chant I

**Circle the ember, circle the fire,
Call what is elder, call what is higher.
Hill under hollow, branch over bone,
What has gone wandering has not gone alone.
Veil over visage, lantern at hearth,
Walk where the old roads cross worlds apart.
Hallowed and haunted, shoulder to shoulder,
Meet at the threshold as night grows older.**

### Chant II

**Circle the ember, circle the flame,
Whisper the hidden and soften the name.
Root under river, stone under tree,
What sleeps beneath us still listens to thee.
Mask over mortal, shadow at door,
Cross through the places crossed before.
Blessed and banished, hand within hand,
Dance at the border of sea and land.**

### Chant III

**Turn with the candle, turn with the smoke,
Mutter the word that was never quite spoke.
Heather and hollow, thorn and stone,
What walks in darkness walks not alone.
Face under feather, veil under veil,
Follow the footpath where moon shadows trail.
Witch-fire and chapel, dusk over dawn,
Sing to the boundary until it is gone.**

### Chant IV

**Round goes the whisper, round goes the flame,
Old goes the secret, older the name.
Mound under mountain, tide under tree,
What was remembered remembers thee.
Mask in the moonlight, hand on the door,
Step through the threshold and step back no more.
Holy and hidden, cursed and blessed,
Lay down the lantern and leave the rest.**

### Chant V

**Ember to ember, breath unto breath,
Name unto nameless, life unto death.
Hill unto hollow, river to sea,
What is forgotten still waits to be.
Veil unto visage, shadow unto skin,
Close every doorway that darkness walks in.
Old ones and lost ones, gather the flame,
Whisper together and swallow the name.**

### Final Chant

**Circle the ember, circle the flame,
Call what is elder, call what has no name.
Hill under hollow, branch over bone,
What has gone wandering has not gone alone.
Veil over visage, lantern at hearth,
Walk where the old roads cross worlds apart.
Hallowed and haunted, shoulder to shoulder,
Meet at the threshold as night grows older.**

**Round and round.
Low and slow.
What we remember,
What we don't know.**

**Round and round.
Near and far.
Keep the flame.
Guard the door.**
