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 …
My friends have asked me to share the stories behind some of my songs, and amazingly, a theme has emerged – celestial objects.
