                        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
