I'm writing a Wiccan novel, and I'd like to include quotes from some well-known texts in the Wiccan/neopagan community as well as have my characters say some of the chants, but I'm unsure as to the copyright status of them (or even the author of some of them):
The Wiccan Rede
The Rede of the Wiccae (this is an expanded version, various versions of which are floating around)
The Charge of the Goddess
The Charge of the Star Goddess
"Isis Astarte Diana Hecate Demeter Kali Inanna" (I've heard this chant in two different songs.)
"We all come from the Goddess, and to Her we shall return like a drop of rain flowing to the ocean." (three different songs)
"Mother of Darkness, Mother of Light, Earth beneath us all in flight. Songs of love and love of light, guide us to our heart."
"Hoof and horn, hoof and horn, all that die shall be reborn. Corn and grain, corn and grain, all that falls shall rise again. Sage and crone, sage and crone, wisdom's gifts shall be our own. Crone and sage, crone and sage, wisdom is the gift of age."
