Our website is hatched

This is an exciting moment; the launching of pagansong.com!

For many years I have taught workshops at pagan festivals on how to use music in ritual. Many of the songs I share in my workshops were recorded by the Crow Women, an amazing group of women I have circled with since our founding in 1992.

Our workshops include tips for singing pagan chants at fire circles, in group ceremony, and in individual spiritual practice. The Crow Women and I have taught the full range; from the mechanics, like how to sing in harmony, to the profound, like how to use sound to connect to the healing power of the divine.

Over the years, I have dreamed of sharing these skills with the wider pagan community. Now this website will be a way to reach out to readers like you.

As I write this, the Crow Women are nearing the completion of our third album. We are eager to connect with pagans everywhere who can benefit from the songs we create. Our vision is that this website will be more than a band publicity page. It will grow into a storehouse of musical resources for pagans.

As we accumulate blog posts, we’ll be offering categories organized by rites of passage, from baby blessings to passing-over ceremonies. We’ll have categories for each of the 8 Sabbats. For example, under Beltane you might find a description of how to use one of our songs for a Balefire ritual at a pagan festival, another article about one of our Beltane songs that illustrates how to adapt a poem into a song, and another with a ritual outline for a coven Beltane ritual (complete with song suggestions, of course). Another article might share a recipe for a Beltane mead and tell you what to sing while you brew it!

I’ll be webmistress for this site that will include articles from all my singing, songwriting sisters of the Crow Women pagan choir. The website will evolve as we accumulate material and discover what interests our readers. For today, Valentine’s Day of 2019, I offer you the beginning of this labor of love.

May the musical magic begin!
