Fire Spinning Song

Credits

The energy of fire, spinning in circles and weaves, thrills both the fire dancer and the observers. Play this song around your bonfire, or whenever fire is a part of your ritual. Honor to Pele, Goddess of the ever-burning fires of Mother Gaia!

Fire Spinning Song was composed by Marilyn Krowommn, the Crow Women’s very own fire spinning goddess! We have sung this song while Marilyn spun poi. The arrangement is timed to last about as long as it takes a pair of flaming poi to burn to their completion. We hope other fire spinners will perform their fire magic to this song, too!

This song is track 4 on our album Pantheon: Honoring the Pagan Divine. The whole album is available for sale here on Bandcamp, and this song can also be purchased as an individual digital download. The song features Deb on the “calls” and the whole Crow Women choir on the “responses”. Percussion by Echo Nightfire.

Fire Spinning Song was sponsored by Amber K: “For Azrael Arynn K, with all my love: you are the fire that warms me at our hearth, always.”

Lyrics

Fire burn (fire burn), fire spin (fire spin),
Take us out of time.
Fire burn (fire burn), fire spin (fire spin)
See the firelight shine.

Flame is dancing
Fill the night with the light, Ancient and Free
Flame is dancing
As above So below, so mote it be.
