You're probably thinking of THE BURNING TIMES with the chorus of "Isis,
Astarte, Diana, Hecate, Demeter, Kali, Inanna."

Doesn't scan for the chorus. What tune? What beat?

Well, it's on Rumors of the Big Wave's CD
_Burning_Times_, in the title song, and may also be found in Kate Marks'
book _Circle_of_Song_ .
The god chant given there is "Mithra,Osiris,Cernunnos,Apollo, Hanuman,
Wotan, Chango"
My group came up with it's own variation, sticking w/ strictly
IndoEuropean archetypes "Mithra, Apollo, Odin, Osiris,Hephaestus,
Cernunnos, Horned One".

Bless the Lord and Lady! Something EVERYONE agrees on! <grin> We all
said the same seven goddesses in the same order! There's hope for us
yet!
I have a little clarification on the chant's tune, though. It is in 4/4
time, using three notes (re, mi, so). Let me see if I can duplicate it
here.
2-1 1-2- 1 1- 2- 2 1- 1- 1 1- 2- 2 2- 2 1 1-2- 4
I-sis, A-star-te, Di-a- na, He-ca-te, De-me-ter, Ka-li, x I-na- na
mi-mi mi-so- mi mi-re-re re-mi-mi mi-mi-mi so-mi x re-re(mi)-mi
Well, I'm not sure if the formatting I attempted will work out right, so
I broke down the words by syllables, with hyphens between each
syllable. The words are in the second line. The first line shows the
number of counts per syllable, and the third line shows the note it is
sung on. There's a one beat rest before "Inanna" and the second
syllable of that name has two notes.

But here the agreement ends. If you'll look at the tune layout I gave in
my post, there are some minor differences there. :) <sigh> Try to get
three pagans to answer a question, and you'll wind up with seven different
answers... <grin>

And for those of us music-notation impaired, you can go buy a copy of "From
the Goddess" by Robert Gass (sp?) and On Wings of Song. Great to meditate
to.

while I agree that this is probably the chant the poster was thinking
of, it has only been recently that I have heard it associated with THE
BURNING TIMES, I thought is was written as a chant on it's own (Z. I
think, but not certain) and I have heard two different versions of a
god chant to accompany it, does anyone have the words to one of these?

the one I remember is "Odin, Osiris, Posiedon, Jupiter, Cernnunos,
Shiva, Apollo" and I know I've heard another version, but can't
remember it.
Fasinating!

Careful wit the "Shiva". Chant it too many times and the world will
come to an end.
NO <G> . God/dess name are not to be banded about. Thats why/how they
have/keep their power.

According to Pattalee Glass-Koentop this was written by Tiresias Circle
of the Unicorn. She offers four versions in the appendix E of her volume
Year of Moons, Season of Trees. (Llewellyn Press, 1991, ISBN
0-87542-269-1)
The most well known verse, recorded by the late Charly Murphy is:
Isis, Astarte, Diana, Hecate, Demeter, Kali, Inanna.
She also offers two God chants and one that is from both God and Goddess.
Kate Marks, in her volume Circle of Song (Full Circle Press 1993 ISBN
0-9637489-O-4) credits the verse given above to Deena Metzger, and the
music it is chanted to to the late Charly Murphy, giving the citation for
'The Burning Times' recording (Out Front Music P.O. Box 12188 Seattle WA
(206) 547-4525). It is on page 134, and the God chant is on page 166. Ms.
Marks also includes the musical notation for those who play
instruments/read musical scores and instructions on a dance done to this
pair.

Couldn't resist my 2c.s worth.
You've got all the bases covered with THAT team !
Pan - Italian/Roman
Woden - Norse
Baphomet - French/Cremonial
Cernunnos - Cletic/Britsh
Osiris - Egyptian

The words to that chant, as I have learned them are:
Isis, Astarte, Diana, Hecate, Demeter, Kali, Inanna
You can repeat this indefinitely and there are now some other verses that
people are intertwining with the same tune (such as 'We are the old
people/We are the new people/We are the same people/____ than before' OR I
am a Wise Womyn/I am a Story Womyn/I am a Healer/My soul will never die).
However, I like to use the male aspect of divinity verse to follow:
Odin, Cernunnos, Myrddin, Manannan, Neptune, Osiris, Horned One!
Happy Chanting!
