Soul-Stirrin’ Yuletide Songs

in Music, Wheel of the Year, Yule

Midwinter MoonThe wind was howling yesterday on All Soul’s Day, and I could surely imagine the ancestors riding those winds and sailing on the spinning leaves.  November 1st ushers in Winter, according to the Celtic calendar, and we will dance with the Ancestors and the Elders well into the festive Yuletide season.

My sweetheart Craig Olson and our good friend Julianne Marx released their fabulous new album of Yuletide music, Midwinter Moon, at a special early-bird price TODAY! (Juels and her husband Joe are the models for my Lovers card.)  I’ve been lucky enough to listen to Craig and Juels sing these Yuletide songs for years now. My heart is full to overflowing because now the rest of you get to hear them, too!

Solstice Night, Rozhanitsa, In the Bleak Midwinter, Lady Greensleeves, To Drive the Cold Winter Away these Pagan-themed songs (some originals, some oldies with revised lyrics) are all so close to my heart. And I’m knocked out by Juels’ sexy, jazzy vocals on standards like “Baby It’s Cold Outside” and “What Do Bad Girls Get?”. I know you will love this album!

One of the special bonuses they are offering, along with an early-bird price, is a downloadable set of four of my Winter Solstice cards — you get them for free when you buy the CD or download. Such a deal!

How wonderful! I’ll share on FB and drop a link in my next newsletter, Joanna. And, just as a fun note…I first found you years ago when I was looking for winter solstice cards ;-)

Thanks Tracie. Oh that is funny about finding me through Winter Solstice cards. I think it’s time to create some new ones!
