Thread Name: Samhain songs
Subject: RE: With Samhain approaching, Does anyone
"Oak, Ash and Thorn" [A Tree Song] is a favorite of mine. "Gently Johnny" from "The Wicker Man" is about the oldest ritual of all ;). The songs of Gwydion Penderrwen, while modern, are concerned in many cases with old ritual as researched/reconstructed by modern Wiccans (redundant?). Isaac Bonewits wrote a wonderful song called "Come to Me" which tells the myth of the Descent of the Goddess - from the God's point of view! (I played guitar and keyboards on that - pardon the plug!). A friend of mine wrote lyrics about Inanna's descent to the tune of "Copacabana" (really!). Try searching the music page at the Witches' Voice website ( http://witchvox.com ). And Blessed Be!
