Blade and Broom | Witch Chant - Eko Eko Chant (v1) #witch @bladeandbroom | Uploaded December 2023 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
This chant dates back at least to the 13th century, when it was featured in a French miracle play called La Miracle de Theophile. A fictional character patterned off of the historical Saladin delivers these lines in an invocation to the Devil. In 1952, Pennethorne Hughes wrote a treatise on witchcraft which claimed that this text is actually a garbled version of a Basque language chant to summon the witch father. It is certainly used that way by modern Witches.
