[Mystic Wolf]

The principle behind chanting is expressed in the Eastern mystical concept of the mantra, sacred words, or the names of God/Goddess, which are chanted verbally or silently. The term mantra means “to protect,” especially the mind.

The mantra harnesses the power of the vibration of shabda, sacred sound. The repetition of mantras unleashes certain cosmic forces that drive deep into the consciousness, down to the level of the cells. When the name of God/Goddess is chanted or repeated, for example, a person thus aligns every cell in his or her being with the highest divine consciousness possible, imbuing that consciousness into his or her being. The alignment of consciousness raises a tremendous psychic power for creating change.

In magic, this power is utilized in spellcraft. When the power is raised, the spell (a desired goal or outcome) is chanted forcefully. The energy sent out into the spiritual realm thus works to manifest change in the physical realm.

Chanting has been an important part of magical rituals since ancient times. In ancient Greece, female sorcerers were said to howl their magical chants. Early and medieval sorcerers and magicians also chanted their incantations in forceful voices, a practice carried into modern times. Folk witches chanted their charms and spells.

The chants of contemporary Witches and Pagans maybe names of Goddess or Horned God, rhymes, charms, alliterative phrases, or sacred words or runes (chant-songs) derived from various spiritual traditions. In Wicca, chanting may be done during a ring dance that accelerates in tempo (thus contributing to the raising of power), or while working with cords.
