By the earth, this is her body, 
by the earth, mother of us all, 
by the earth, future and past. 
the circle is cast, the circle is cast

By the air, this is her breath, 
by the air sweet wind of life, 
by the air, from the first to the last, 
the circle is cast, the circle is cast

By the fire of her bright spririt, 
shining candles in the night, 
by the fire of her bright spirit, 
oh shine - shine your light on me

By the waters, this is her blood, 
by the waters, the calm and the flood, 
by the living waters, running slow running fast,
the circle is cast now, the circle is cast
