I Am Flame

Credits:

This playful song is about jumping over the Balefire on Beltane. Alane Crowomyn wrote I Am Flame as part of a year when she was dedicated to working with the element of fire. It’s also named for the character Flame in her unpublished novel Magical Rite. All the singers who were in the Crowz at that time sang on this track. You can purchase this track from our webstore. It’s track 12 on the album Crow Magic. Leap the fire with us!

Lyrics:

I am flame, I am flame
Blessed as I leap
And I shout joyfully…Hey!

I am flame, I am flame
Blessed as I leap
And I shout ’cause I’m me…Hey!

I am flame, I am flame
Blessed as I leap
And I shout lustily…Hey!

I am flame, I am flame
Blessed as I leap
And I shout ’cause there’s mead…Hey!

I am flame, I am flame
Blessed as I leap
And I shout nakedly…Hey!

I am flame, I am flame
Blessed as I leap
And I shout ‘cause I’m free! music & lyrics © Alane Susan Brown (ASCAP) 2011

Elemental Altars Blessing My Home

June 27, 2019

Creating sacred spaces that reflect the environment where you live is a part of ecomancy: the magic of connection to place.
