One of the most beautiful and powerful rituals of Witchcraft is known as Drawing Down the Moon (and as Drawing Down Goddess). The sacred invocation of Goddess is an alchemical magical act unleashing a profound living energy of self-transformation, transmutation of consciousness and theurgic mystical experience. Touch the transformative power of the Moon Goddess ...

Nightside Witchcraft at its Finest - Incantations by La Sorciere Noire
י״ז באב תשע"א
Lughnasadh 19
Check out the newest addition to my collection of witch music - Incantations by La Sorciere Noire
"By the Sacred Covenant and Circle of Wytchblood, a dream-begotten musical grimoire is forged. From stellar temple to infernal abyss, La Sorciere Lylyth conjures the Nocturnal Splendor of the Ancient Night."
"Drawing from magickal forms of the Nightside Tradition, La Sorciere Noire’s invocations and blackly-tinged atmospherics are a ritual praxis that tap into otherworldly presences and places of mystery, opening the gateway between the worlds where secrets emerge from concealment."

Blue Dream
ה' שבט תשס"טImbolgen 5
Just acquired - my newest music CD - Blue Dream by Fiona Joy Hawkins. Pure mystical magic! לחיים
Reviewer Kathy Parsons writes - "Blue Dream" is stunning. Calling the musical style "World Fusion Piano," the music ranges from quiet and dreamy piano to full orchestrations. Instrumentation includes Didjeribone, a variety of percussion instruments, flugel horn, mandolin, voices, and many conventional instruments as well. Many of the tracks have vocals, but most are wordless. Those with lyrics are sung in either Gaelic or Luganda (from Uganda). There is a total of twenty-two tracks, but the longer pieces are connected by "Interludes" and other shorter pieces, creating a single (68-minute) suite of music.
"Blue Dream" has no weak points at all.

Ancient Embrace, The Silver Tree
כ"ו סיון התשס"חAlban Heruin 27
The newest haunting addition to my mystical music collection. The Silver Tree by Lisa Gerrard
Editoral Review - "Few artists last long in the rarefied terrain occupied by singer Lisa Gerrard over the last quarter-century. She shares a passion with composers like Arvo Pärt in the unrelenting pursuit of the divine. In fact, Gerrard evokes Pärt a few times on The Silver Tree, her first non-collaborative solo release since The Mirror Pool in 1995. The Silver Tree is an album of ancient echoes, ghostly refrains, and hymns to the heavens. On "Abwoon," she intones the Lord's Prayer in Aramaic, orchestrating her own voice in choral harmonies that unfold beneath her like winds on waves. But "Spaceweaver" sends chills through the soul as Gerrard unlocks this peculiar nasal, back-of-the-throat snarl that she only adopts on such tracks, with a menacing blues groove that recalls "Meltdown" from her score to The Insider. You can hear much of Gerrard's soundtrack work mirrored here: "The Sea Whisperer" picks up at the spirit-affirming end of "Now We Are Free" from Gladiator. And I suspect that the 10-minute opus "Towards the Tower" might be her rejected overture for the film Constantine. With Ligeti-like voices, suspended glissando strings, and ominous percussion shifts, it certainly would work in the cinematic context of a supernatural thriller. The album has been available for half a year in Australia (worldwide via digital download), so as a bonus, the American release tacks on a bonus track, "Entry." Its thudding electronic drum loop and sketchy vocal makes for a disruptive exit. But until you get there, The Silver Tree is an embracing experience. Whether singing Aramaic, English, or that language of her imagination, Lisa Gerrard makes the most heavenly music heard on earth--and maybe beyond. --John Diliberto"

Legends Of The Goddess III
כ'ט באדר א' תשס"חKeolwulf 30
My new awesome CD arrived today! Trilogy: Legends Of The Goddess III by Laura Powers
"Evocative, with rich lyrical symbolism and vocal textures, the endcap of the Legends of the Goddess series, Trilogy: Legends of the Goddess III, brings this musical journey full circle. Come along as the music weaves a thread though time and cultures (The World Is A River), feel the power of faith (It Shall Be No More) and touch the sweetness of the love of a lifetime (I've Loved You Forever). Mystical, personal and uplifting, these are songs for the discriminating listener who wishes for something beyond the ordinary from their listening experience."
Lyrics from Mystic & The Muse
A spiral shell
The deepest well
The beating of my heart
All echo with the
Mysteries of your art
And on this darkest night
I give my word
I take your seven secrets
Into the fire
Like the phoenix flew
Where only love can reach us
We rise anew
The Mystic and the Muse
We burn so bright
You take the light
Spin it into gold
You reach through time
To hear a voice of old
And now it calls to us
And so we go ...

Lyrics from I've Loved You Forever
The power, the glory
I see the laughter and the tears
Through lifetimes, our story
Grows ever stronger with the years
Only you hold the key to my soul ...
