‘Pagan Fire’ by Julie Walton
‘Pagan Fire’ is a musical expression of all things sacred. Created in joyous celebration of the Celtic Wheel of the Year and in honour of the divine feminine, the Goddess energy, ‘Pagan Fire’ is an emotive mix of the personal, the spiritual and the enduring heart that keeps us connected to Mother Earth and the cycles of nature.
Just as the spirit of a questing pagan cannot be contained, ‘Pagan Fire’ cannot be contained into any one musical genre. The tracks vary from soft and acoustic to pure celtic (with harp and bodharan) through to dance tracks with organic drum sounds driving the rhythm. The vocals are pure and honest with beautiful soaring harmonies.
Pagan Fire has 11 tracks – Call to Follow, Faces, Pagan Fire, Sacred Stones, Initiation, Ancestor Lines, Wheel of the Year, The Witches Dance, Moontide, Druids’ Oak, and Flight of the Bird Goddess.
This is an album that will stir your soul. Running time 51 minutes.

They have walked a sacred journey together, united as sisters. Nurturing and inspiring each other they have created sacred ritual, laughed, cried and over many cups of tea they made music. Mostly in the deepest darkest night they sang for their sisters, their teachers, their lovers & their children. They sang for each other, for the great mother, and most of all they sang for themselves. With voices ringing in harmony their spirits soared. Reclaiming their strength and pride as courageous, dynamic women and with passions ignited they have captured this moment in their journey. As Sacred Sisters they sing the Sacred Quarters.
