Ariel’s Craft Music

The Hex Mistress

Sun, 11 May 2008 20:12:41 -0700

Neither this piece nor the piece called “Grey Magic” were ever produced due to the choreographer’s opinion that the music was “too difficult to listen to.” I guess it just is a matter of personal taste.

Grey Magic

Sun, 11 May 2008 20:09:51 -0700

This modern dance piece never made it to the stage.

Free Me

Mon, 28 Apr 2008 20:21:38 -0700

A short modern dance piece. It was used several years ago as a part of a compilation. No real Craft significance, but I’m putting it up anyway, just coz I can!

Orixa Flow

Tue, 26 Feb 2008 14:29:14 -0800

I was commissioned to compose this piece to be included in a modern dance piece with a Yoruba theme. On it’s own I have used it for magical dance, and for raising energy in “body magic.”

May The Circle Be Open

Wed, 9 Jan 2008 10:52:06 -0800

This is another very common chant which we love to use at the end of ceremonies.

We All Come From The Goddess/Medley

Sun, 23 Dec 2007 08:48:53 -0800

This track has a large medley of chants that we use all strung together. You can use them all together like we do here, or you can use them separately.

Circle ‘Round the Fire

Wed, 12 Dec 2007 23:21:12 -0800

A very effective chant for raising energy around the sacred Sabbat bonfire: Circle ‘round the fire; To raise the Cone of Power; To bring our heart’s desire; Oh so mote it be; Weave the magic by the firelight; Dance the circle all night long; Weave the magic by the firelight; Dance and sing the Witches’ song.

Horned God Chant

Fri, 7 Dec 2007 23:25:23 -0800

This chant has been around for as long as I have been in the Craft. I first heard it on a Gwydion Pendderwen's album, “Songs for the Old Religion,” which I believe has been reissued. Visit www.serpentinemusic.com and search for it by name; the album is a true Craft Classic! Horned One, Lover, Son; Leaper in the Corn; Deep in the Mother; Die and be reborn!

Fire Chant

Tue, 4 Dec 2007 16:48:46 -0800

Traditionally, we use this chant during the burning of the Wicker Man at Lammas, but it can be used during any fire ceremony: With the lighting of the pyre the flame of life grows ever higher; Ignite in us our heart’s desire; Lord and Lady of the Fire.

Full Moon Chant

Sun, 2 Dec 2007 23:32:49 -0800

We often use this chant to dance around the bonfire at the Sabbats. We simply change the words “full moon night” to “Lammas Night,” “Beltain Night,” etc.: Into the full moon night we dance; spirits dance, we dance; Joining hands we dance; Joining souls rejoice.

Lady Weave Your Circle

Fri, 30 Nov 2007 08:06:55 -0800

This is a commonly known chant. It is used while casting a magic circle or raising a cone of power: Lady weave your circle tight; Spin a web of glowing light; Earth and air and fire and water; Bind us to you.

Merry Meet

Wed, 28 Nov 2007 09:08:10 -0800

We use this chant during the Spiral Dance prior to starting a major sabbat: Merry Meet Good Friends’ Until We Part Again; Merry Meet.

Fire Wheel

Wed, 20 Jun 2007 00:06:16 -0700

A dance of fertility and protection (this is another excerpt from a ballet with a pagan theme that I was working on for several months. The project has since been shelved, but I use the music as background for many projects).

Vivianne

Wed, 20 Jun 2007 00:04:20 -0700

This piece was composed as an homage to the early tutor of Merlin, The Lady of the Lake(this is another excerpt from a ballet with a pagan theme that I was working on for several months. The project has since been shelved, but I use the music as background for many projects).

Jump the Balefire

Wed, 20 Jun 2007 00:01:15 -0700

This piece was composed in honor of our Beltain (spring) festival where we jump the sacred fire as an act of spiritual purification and fertility (this is another excerpt from a ballet with a pagan theme that I was working on for several months. The project has since been shelved, but I use the music as background for many projects).

Brigita

Tue, 19 Jun 2007 23:54:15 -0700

Celtic themed piece honoring the celtic goddess of poetry, music and crafting (this is an excerpt from a ballet with a pagan theme that I was working on for several months. The project has since been shelved, but I use the music as background for many projects).
