This fall I hosted my first-ever season of Pagan Choir! We learned folk songs, rounds, parts songs and chants to praise the animate world, inspired by pagan traditions from Scotland, Ireland and England. This round “Gathered Here in the Mystery of the Hour,” comes from Philip Porter (lyrics below), and for me is all about calling in sacred space and listening more closely to spirit.

Early bird regystration is now open for our Winter Season, which starts Sunday, January 5th! You can find out more by going to paganchoir. b l o g

We will be learning songs on themes of hearth & craft, yule, the divine woman/goddess Brigid and more! We will end our season with a private ritual for Imbolc, the traditional Irish holiday that honors Brigid and heralds the return of life to the land.

If you aren’t local to Western North Carolina, I offer virtual courses year round on themes of paganism and folk song- joyn my newslettr, using the main lynk on my creator page!

Lyrics:
Gathered here in the mystery of the hour
Gathered here in one strong body
Gathered here in the struggle and the power
Spirit draw near
