I first experienced the Crow Women in concert at a Dragonfest in Colorado around 2005 or thereabouts. I must have been coming from a workshop, because I arrived near the end, just in time to catch the encore. If you’ve been to a Crow Women concert, you recognize the spectacle. An array of lovely ladies, …
The Goddess is Alive, and Magic is Afoot! This is more than a bumper sticker; this is the foundation of our spiritual practice. This concept was never more clear to me than a few years ago, when the Crow Goddess gave me a song, and made darn sure that I learned and taught it! It’s …
Music and Grief Music is evocative. Music is magical. Music is emotional. It helps us express what we cannot express through words alone. It can help us celebrate our lives. And music can help us grieve. Listen to our Crow Women albums Crow Goddess and Crow Magic, and in almost every song, you will hear …

As I believe we’ve already established, Crows have a close relationship with the elements.

Imagine my elation when our most prolific and arguably most talented songwriter Alane Crowomyn asked me to sing a lead on one of her songs. If only because of that, Farewell, My Familiar holds a special place in my heart. But it isn’t the …
I was born under the Cancer sun sign, and have always felt a strong connection with the moon. I wrote the song “Goddess Moon” for a lovely outdoor ritual in a Crow sister’s back yard. We planned to use it to sing up the full moon! Goddess Moon, when are you coming?Goddess Moon, where do …
I’ve always been leery about religious or spiritual types who are unwilling to occasionally poke fun at their own beliefs and practices. As Witches/Wiccans, we have a lot of stereotypes to satirize, thanks to Halloween, such as the old hag with green skin and a big wart on her long hooked nose. Like you, I …
Happy Mother’s Day! Earth spirituality often depicts the earth as a mother: the source of nourishment, healing and comfort. From “give thanks to the Mother Goddess” to “the earth is our mother, we must take care of her”, images of the divine mother abound in pagan songs. One of the things that drew me into …
This post is dedicated to my crowsister Donna Pauline. Remembering you, the magic and the love. -“The Other Dona” Sister Dearest, I was thinking of you and our walks along the river path. Walking, talking, sharing secrets. And singing, of course. Singing the tunes we sang with our CrowSisters. The Crow Women had developed a …
