About Alexian

Alexian

Alexian is a Pagan recording artist, songwriter, producer, musician, and educator whose work blends modern music with Earth-centered spirituality, ritual, magick, healing, humor, and the mysteries of the Craft. His music ranges from deeply spiritual songs such as Save Me to playful Pagan favorites such as Cool to Be a Witch, along with ritual chants, spell songs, meditation music, and other music created to be experienced as well as heard.

Raised on a farm in the Ozarks, Alexian felt a strong connection to nature from an early age. That path eventually led him to Boston and the Berklee College of Music, where he studied Music Education, Songwriting/Composition, and Music Synthesis. During this same period of his life, he was initiated into the Alexandrian tradition of Wicca, beginning a lifelong journey that would eventually bring his musical and magickal worlds together.

Alexian is the High Priest and founder of Twisted Oak Coven, an Orlando-area Alexandrian coven founded in 1993. He has also studied Qabala and the Golden Dawn system of Magick. His decades of experience as both a professional musician and practicing Witch continue to inform his music, writing, teaching, ritual work, and spiritual community.

After more than 36 years of professional music teaching, Alexian retired from regular one-to-one lessons in 2026 and began pouring that lifetime of experience into Alexian’s Learning Grove. The Grove is built around three Trees of Knowledge: the Musical Arts, Mystical Arts, and Inner Arts, offering structured education in music, magick, meditation, and related subjects.

The first course in the Musical Arts Tree is So Note It Be, a complete course in learning to read music. Rather than relying on disconnected videos or isolated cheat sheets, the course leads students along a structured path through the fundamentals of music reading using written lessons, video instruction, downloadable worksheets, interactive practice games, scoring and leaderboards, and a private course community where students can receive direct guidance and feedback from Alexian.

His goal with the Learning Grove is to preserve the depth and progression of serious education while presenting it through a Pagan framework. The musical information itself remains real, rigorous music education—but the imagery, language, examples, community, and spiritual context can finally speak directly to Pagan students.

Alexian also created the Cool Kats, his private online Pagan community, where members can gather for conversation, challenges, Tarot, creative activities, and events such as the Bonfire Bardic Circles. These virtual gatherings provide a place for Pagans to share songs, chants, poetry, stories, music, and other creative offerings—or simply come and listen.

As a recording artist, Alexian continues to write, record, and release original Pagan music. His growing catalog also includes a collection of ritual chants and spell songs created for use in ritual, meditation, healing, celebration, and personal magick. These chants are available through AlexianMusic.com, with releases also beginning to make their way to streaming audiences.

Alexian founded Earth Tones Studios and PaganMusic.com, and in 2021 was named Best Pagan Male Artist of the Year by the International Pagan Music Association.

He lives in Florida with his husband and a backyard filled with carefully nurtured orchids.

Alexian on the Red Album

“Roe vs Wade, human rights denied.
Faith is law, now pay the fine.
‘Nother vote, another dime… Born of Crime.”

The Red Album: Pagan Voices for Reproductive Rights is a Pagan compilation giving a powerful voice to women’s rights while raising awareness & dollars for charity. When Alexian was asked about his song, Born of Crime, he said; “After talking to many women, one common thread appeared: CHOICE. Born of Crime tells the story of a young woman who is raped, forced to carry the baby against her will, and dies in childbirth.”
