The Crow Women are a pagan choir that has been bringing Goddess-oriented sacred music to the pagan community for three decades. They are the coordinators and sponsors of the Pagan Song blog and website.
The Crow Women began as a women’s spirituality group in 1992. They are a Wiccan coven that is dedicated to the Goddess in all her forms, including her manifestation within each of us. Early on, they discovered that they are all highly musical. They incorporated chants into their rituals and delighted in elaborating them with harmony and other embellishments. As the beauty and complexity of their arrangements grew, they began to share their music with the pagan community. They have performed concerts at fesivals in the Southwest where they make their homes. They have performed at Dragonfest and Beltania in Colorado, and at Magical Moutain Mabon, Beltane Southwest and Albuqueruqe Pagan Pride in New Mexico.
Crow Women have released 3 albums and are working on their 4th. Their songs include chants for moon rituals, songs to the elements, for rites of passage and for all the Sabbats of the Wheel of the Year. The first album, Crow Goddess was a mix of covers and original music. The subsequent albums, Crow Magic and Seasons are all original compositions by members of the band. All of the Crow Women are priestess-songwriters. Most of the music began as music for their own rituals, and they are honored to offer that music to you to incorporate in your own rituals.
The Crow Women have led many chant workshops at pagan festivals and are available to lead live or online workshops for your event. They can tailor their workshops to the theme of your event. They have 25 years of experience in creating music workshops for any subject.
“How dare you try to limit the Goddess? I am choice far beyond what governments control!”
The Crow Women are among 19 bands who have contributed a song to the pro-choice compilation The Red Album: Pagan Voices for Reproductive Rights. When asked about their song, How Dare You! they said; “We are both a pagan band and a feminist Wiccan coven. We wanted to express our grief and outrage at the loss of reproductive choice, and give voice to the Goddess as she pours out comfort and strength to support us in working to regain our rights.”
