Ancient Call

May be used as a circle chant, or declaimed (generally by HP)
generally either before the Great God Cernunnos Invocation,
or before the Witches' Rune.

HP raises his arms wide and says:

HP: "Eko, Eko, Azarak (these three verses sometimes dropped)
Eko, Eko, Zamilak
Eko, Eko, Cernunnos,
Eko, Eko, Aradia

Eko, Eko, Azarak
Eko, Eko, Zamilak
Eko, Eko, Cernunnos,
Eko, Eko, Aradia

Eko, Eko, Azarak
Eko, Eko, Zamilak
Eko, Eko, Cernunnos,
Eko, Eko, Aradia

Bagabi laca bachabe
Lamac cahi achababe
Karelyos !
Lmaca lamac bachalyos
Cabahagi sabalyos
Baryolas !
Lagoz atha cabyolas
Samahac atha famyolas
Hurrahya !

HPS and coven repeat "Hurrahya !"
