about

Remember the Hokey Pokey? Me too! But I changed the words to help kids learn the names of magical tools and implements. We use this at festivals to instigate Magical Kid Parades!!!

lyrics

You put your Magic Wand in! You put your Magic Wand out!
You put your Magic Wand in and you shake it all about!
You do the Hocus Pocus and you turn yourself around. That’s what it’s all about!

You put your Athame in! You put your Athame out!
You put your Athame in and you shake it all about!
You do the Hocus Pocus and you turn yourself around. That’s what it’s all about!

You put your Besom in! You put your Besom out!
You put your Besom in and you shake it all about!
You do the Hocus Pocus and you turn yourself around. That’s what it’s all about!

You put your Crystal Ball in! You put your Crystal Ball out!
You put your Crystal Ball in and you shake it all about!
You do the Hocus Pocus and you turn yourself around. That’s what it’s all about!

You put your Chalice in! You put your Chalice out!
You put your Chalice in and you shake it all about!
You do the Hocus Pocus and you turn yourself around. That’s what it’s all about!

You put your Incense in! You put your Incense out!
You put your Incense in and you shake it all about!
You do the Hocus Pocus and you turn yourself around. That’s what it’s all about!

You put your Pentacle in! You put your Pentacle out!
You put your Pentacle in and you shake it all about!
You do the Hocus Pocus and you turn yourself around. That’s what it’s all about!

You put your Book of Shadows in! You put your Book of Shadows out!
You put your Book of Shadows in and you shake it all about!
You do the Hocus Pocus and you turn yourself around. That’s what it’s all about!

Now for the Bestest and Most Important Magical tool!

You put your Magic Self in! You put your Magic Self out!
You put your Magic Self in and you shake it all about!
You do the Hocus Pocus and you turn yourself around. That’s what it’s all about!
