First off, I totally took Nymphaea's idea in creating this chant, secondly there is some UPG involved in the chant and lastly in writting this I initially followed the number of intonments (that's a word right?) that Nymphaea used but in performing the chant I altered it to the following:

Pri-ah-pus
Pri-ah-pus
Warden of Gardens

Pri-ah-pus
Pri-ah-pus
Punisher of Theives

Pri-ah-pus
Pri-ah-pus
Holder of Ways

Pri-ah-pus
Pri-ah-pus
Speaker of Bones

Pri-ah-pus
Pri-ah-pus
Mycelial Lord

Pri-ah-pus
Pri-ah-pus
Watcher on the Rock

Pri-ah-pus
Pri-ah-pus
Savior of Ships

Pri-ah-pus
Pri-ah-pus
Dancer on the Shore

Pri-ah-pus
Pri-ah-pus
Chaser of Nymphs

Pri-ah-pus
Pri-ah-pus
Teacher of War

Pri-ah-pus
Pri-ah-pus
Bathed in Wine

Pri-ah-pus
Pri-ah-pus
Champion of Aphrodite

Pri-ah-pus
Pri-ah-pus
The Bull Roarers' Son

Pri-ah-pus
Pri-ah-pus

May someone else out there find this to be of some use and may the gods be given their due.

I can definitely see this being chanted around a fire at Pagan Spirit Gathering or another event.

Thank you all, I hope to be using this chant a lot more in the future. Actually, it may get some use tonight when I get to set my alter up again.

lorna Several of the roles I give him are UPG, or many of them are depending on how one looks at it...I don't know that he was called by any of those titles in ancient times, but they are descriptive of how I see him and there is historical/mythological precedence for many of them.

If anyone is interested I could write something up on the titles and see if I can scrounge up sources for the historically inspired ones.
