Alane Crowomyn wrote this song for a pagan handfasting. We’ve included it in the handfastings of several of our members and hope others will use it for committment ceremonies, too. That’s Alane singing the short solos the first time through the song. Chalice to Blade is track 9 on Crow Goddess. You can purchase it here. It’s true, isn’t it? There’s no power greater than love.

For there is no power greater than love
