In Pagan and Earth-based music, a spell song is more than just a melody—it’s an act of magick in motion. It isn’t written simply to be sung or performed; it’s crafted to shift energy, focus the mind, and weave intention into sound. A spell song can offer protection, comfort, or transformation, depending on what the moment …
Over the past year, I’ve been quietly building something very specific: a growing body of ritual chants and spell songs designed to be used, not merely listened to. Each Chant of the Month is written with intention first—ritual timing, breath, repetition, communal voice, and magickal function. Some are spoken. Some are sung. Some are meditative …
The Tower If we were asked to choose one tarot card to represent the times we are in, a great many of us would conjure the Tower without skipping a beat. The Tower, crumbling under the strike of lightning, can no longer support the people or the institutions within its walls. Systems that once worked …
The Longest Night is just around the corner and we here at Pagan Song are taking time to rest, heal and prepare for longer, brighter days ahead. From our hearts to yours, we offer two gifts for the season. First, a playlist of over five hours of Yule/Winter Solstice music that I’ve built up over …

I am truly grateful for my friends and the people I have met along my magical, musical path in this life. One of my many awesome friends is Kathleen Hannan who I met at the Gulfport Women’s Music and Spirituality Festival. The timing was around Fall of 1991 or ’92 (we can’t quite remember). I …
Autumn is the cool, crisp, deliciously colorful taste of memories and reminders. Earthy gemstones flood the senses, amber scarlet pumpkin latte-colored leaves bounce over roads and fields, skipping, floating, flitting, dropping, tumbling into the forest’s floors like tiny dancers…twirling their last dance in a whirl, landing quietly to become food for next season’s saplings.

It is said the ancient Celts believed the seasons of the year were divided in half between summer and winter. It is also said the Celts believed the seasons which we call spring and autumn are a transitional and liminal time, a time between time where this world and the otherworld are separated by the …
