A simple work of genius

The soul-stirring 'Wytches Chant '98' is no less than the Neopagan equivalent to 'Amazing Grace'. I say that it's the greatest Neopagan hymn of all-time... or actually of the time since the reawakening. However, I'm sure sometime, somewhere---in the very ancient past---there was a chant, perhaps from some forest clearing or mountain top, that may have been greater. In any case, this chant was a work of genius.

Chanting this in a special location, day or night, would be a blessing. Six of the seven goddesses named are essentially Indo-European, along with the Indian goddess Kali. However, there was a lot of spiritual conflation between Aryan Persia and ancient India. Suffice to say, the hymn emits the power of "the goddess." For me, it would be the ancient Proto-European deity "Mona," the goddess of the moon ("mon" in the ancient tongue).

"Light cultural and traditional adherence"

I wasn't trying to knock 'Amazing Grace', a powerful Christian hymn, although I can never get into the lyrics which are obviously for Christians only. I still believe that a person may lightly observe something on a purely cultural level, even if it's not exactly your thing. I think it can go both ways as well. A Christian should be able to observe---for example, the Wytches Chant' or May Day, etc.---on a purely ancestral, historical, and traditional basis. Essentially, it may have been the spiritual tradition of their ancestors for tens of thousands of years; or certainly for anyone, their ancestors for that span were not practicing Abrahamic religion.
