By Gregory Michael Brewer (AutTumn)
Hello and Merry Meet Jenna. There are some such as myself that have been deeply touched by your music, but for those who have not yet had the opportunity to discover your talents and gift of music, could you please give our readers a bit of background concerning your decision to make and record Pagan music?
Merry meet and thank you! Spiritual music has always been a part of my life. I grew up singing in my family’s church. I started writing music as a teenager and I knew I wanted my songs to have deeper meaning than the pop songs on the radio. I had just discovered Celtic Wicca and I began to study nature mythologies. I have a rather active imagination so I would put myself in the roles of the heroes, the goddesses, the muses, and the fairies - to really experience their meanings. They were - and still are - sources of empowerment and inspiration for me. I began to share my songs in the hopes that they would have the same effect on others.
I own a copy of your first album entitled Crossroads. What initially inspired you to record this album and what are your favorite tracks?
I had left singing and song writing for a few years. I had a safe, corporate desk job and I was miserable. When I gave birth to my daughter in 2003, I had the constant thought that I wanted to be able to tell my little girl to follow her dreams. How could I say that if I wasn’t pursuing my own dreams? I decided, with the support of my wonderful husband, to make music my career. I started gathering my old songs and writing new ones. By the end of 2004, I was performing all my own songs live and audience members started asking for recordings of them.
Right now “Acceptance” is especially important to me. When I’m up on stage performing, I’ve got to be able to put all my self-consciousness aside, connect with my Goddess self and connect with my audience. I use “Acceptance” to remind me that my music is about sharing love, empowerment, fun, and not about how flat my belly is (or isn’t!)
On the Crossroads album you recorded a rendition of the Charge of the Goddess entitled “Soul Of Nature.” In my opinion this is one of the most moving pieces of Pagan music I have ever heard. What inspired you to write this song?
Doreen Valiente’s words beautifully sum up what Joseph Campbell called the quest. What we are all seeking we have to find within before we can find it outside of ourselves. When you choose to love and respect yourself, you will find love all around you. When you choose to find joy in your life, you will find joy
in the world around you. Of course, it’s very easy to say, but sometimes very hard to do! I wrote the melody so I could remember all the words and “charge” myself when I was feeling lost. I decided to put it on the album hoping that listeners would be uplifted as well.
You have a new album coming out soon entitled Wild Earth Child. Could you tell us a bit about this project?
Yes, I am so excited about making my second album. The theme is the ecstatic dance of life that joins spirit with nature, myth and music. The title is taken from my Green Man song: “Wild Earth Child, return to the land. Join in the dance of the Green Man.” It includes many upbeat, rhythmic songs with Celtic, Spanish, Middle Eastern and African influences. There will also be a few ethereal, sultry ballads. Fans and friends have the opportunity to get involved in the production. I am asking for sponsorship in return for goodies such as the very first copies of the CD, T-shirts, a song especially for you, house concerts and more. Please visit my website blog for more details.
Who are some of your favorite Pagan musicians?
My favorite musicians are all my friends I enjoy sharing the stage with at festivals: Imakhu, Evan Worldwind, HannaH’s Groove, The Gypsy Nomads, Kellianna, Featherscale, Peter Janson, Bercilak, The Harper and the Minstrel, and Wendy Rule. I’m also a big SJ Tucker fan. I haven’t met her yet but hope to soon!
My biggest musical influences are Loreena McKennitt, Clannad and Dead Can Dance.
I am curious to know what led you to the Pagan path and spirituality. Do you follow any specific traditions, Pantheons, or do you consider yourself eclectic?
I think that Paganism as a whole is turning more towards an Eclectic path. There are more traditions which are surfacing and they have a valuable place in our society. Many people study and become degreed in several traditions throughout their life, in addition to training and studying on paths outside of Wicca/Witchcraft. Some people stick to one tradition throughout the course of their training, but most people adopt what they identify with from each tradition and path and keep that as their personal beliefs.
When I was a teen, I was confused by the difference between what I was taught in church and what I believed in my heart. My boyfriend at the time was part of a mythology group. Most of the members were Pagan. I was introduced to nature spirituality and the concept of the divine feminine. I was thrilled to find out that these new, exciting concepts were a part of my own Celtic ancestry. My roots are Celtic Wicca and Reconstructionism. I have branched out on many paths since then studying any and all traditions that use chant, rhythm or any kind of music for transformation. I also have a passion for taking Law of Attraction concepts and applying them to eco-spirituality.
Do you have any favorite Pagan authors and books?
“Earth, Air, Fire and Water” and “Living Wicca” by Scott Cunningham were two books that influenced me when I was younger. “The Hero with a Thousand Faces” by Joseph Campbell and “You Can Heal Your Life” by Louise Hay, while
not specifically Pagan, have deeply enriched my spiritual life. Right now I’m enjoying reading Imakhu’s book “Understanding Kemetic Magick.”
Could you please share with us one of your most remarkable and moving experiences while performing live?
Last Beltane I shared the stage with Wendy Rule, Imakhu, Evan Worldwind and HannaH’s Groove. We all chanted and drummed together and then led the crowd to a fire circle. Guided by Evan’s didgeridoo and Imakhu drumming, I went into an ecstatic chanting trance. I felt like I had a soul-to-soul connection with everyone around me. I felt like I was pouring love, peace and healing out through my voice and deep love was also being returned to me.
In your opinion, what is the benefit of listening to Pagan music for the practicing pagan?
Great question! Music raises consciousness. Music is Magick. It is the force that creates the universe. Everything is made of vibration, literally made of music. In my music workshops, I go over just some of the hundreds of creation myths that state that the Gods spoke or sung the world into existence. If the Gods are a part of us, then we too can use music - especially Pagan music - to create, heal and shift our perceptions.
How can our readers purchase your music?
Please visit www.greeneladymusic.com to purchase downloads, physical copies of my CD or sponsor the Wild Earth Child album.
Last but not least, do you have any last words of wisdom or advice to help people along their Pagan path?When you’re an alternative thinker, you can sometimes feel like an outcast. If you don’t feel like you fit in, it’s because you are meant to stand out. Keep being who you are and be proud of yourself. We all get caught up in the idea that we’re supposed to live up to someone else’s idea of normal. There is no such thing as “normal.” It is your uniqueness, your imagination, striving toward your dreams, and your fire that makes the world a fantastic place. One of my favorite quotes is, “Your individuality provides a light for others.”
Some thoughts on following your dreams and creating your reality:
“When you follow your bliss doors open where you thought there were no doors.” - Joseph Campbell
“Believing is seeing.”
“Your perception and attitude toward any situation will determine the outcome.”

Handfasting
By:James Holan
This is copywrited material reprinted with permission.
The Pagan Religion is probably one of the most
misunderstood religions in the world. The average person,
regardless of religious beliefs, associates the term
"Pagan" with devil worship, witchcraft, animal sacrifices,
and sadistic ceremonies. Contrary to this belief, the term
Pagan is actually a very board term that generally refers
to any religion other than the Christian or Jewish faith
(Alder). These alternate religions are usually referred to
as the "Earth Religions." Some Earth Religions are Wicca,
Druidism, Asatru, the ancient Greek and Roman religions,
and Women's Spirituality or the belief that God is female
(Wright). None of these religions practice the conquering
of demons or the devil, the worship of evil entities, or
the sacrificing of animals. These misconceptions are really
the product of centuries of ignorance, fear, superstition,
and religious power struggles. In reality the Pagan
religion is, perhaps, one of the most tolerant and peaceful
religions in practice today. The religion believes in
gender equality, the freedom to choose ones sexuality, the
ability to believe in many different religions, and that
both males and females hold power (Alder). All and all, the
Pagan religion simply allows a person to discover his or
her own opinions on religion. It allows for the exploration
of individuality in all fields sex, gender, philosophy, and
personal opinions. The Pagan wedding ceremony or
Handfasting, which I got the honor of witnessing,
demonstrates these concepts.
The Pagan Handfasting ceremony is arguably the first
wedding ceremony to be legally binding in "modern" culture.
It dates back to the ancient Celts and was recognized as
the legal wedding ceremony until "Lord Harwickes Act of
1753 that declared Marriages in England were legal only if
performed by a clergyman" (Reverend Thompson). Before 1753
Handfasting was considered a legal marriage, although it
was sometimes used as an engagement rather than a marriage
ceremony. When used for an engagement it was only binding
for "a year and a day," at the end of the year the couple
could either chose to renew the vow or separate (Reverend
Thompson). In modern Handfasting the ceremony is legal as
long as the proper state documentation is submitted and the
bride and groom visit a Justice of the Peace. In some
cases, however, the ceremony cannot be binding because of
the people being married. The Pagan culture allows for
gays, lesbians, and groups of people to be married, which
is not a legal in most America states (Wright). This shows
Pagan tolerance for alternative life styles.
There is no set ceremony for Handfasting, unlike other
religions that have a standardized ceremony. Instead the
ceremony is individualistic to the bride and groom, or
whoever is being married. Some couples can chose to have
elements from other religions in their ceremonies such as
exchanging rings, lighting a unity candle, or even reading
from the Bible or other spiritual text (Fox). Another
interesting facet of the Pagan Handfasting is that it can
be officiated by either a man or women (Williams). This
shows that the Pagan religion is not gender bias.
The Handfasting I witnessed was officiated by a woman,
referred to as a minister during the ceremony. She made
sure to include several elements that were requested by the
family of the bride whom, I later found out, were Catholic.
The two traditions that they really wanted to keep, for the
mother-of-the-bride's sake, where the lighting of the unity
candles and the exchanging of the rings. I thought it was
really interesting that the minister so readily did these
things. There are some religions are completely against
adding in aspects of other ceremonies to their own. It was
very interesting to see her carry out this aspect of the
ceremony with no bias or anger. She did mention to me
later, however, that the majority of people who have
Handfasting ceremonies do not include too many traditional
Pagan rituals. Instead they simply include the actual
fastening of the hands and then stick to a more "secular"
ceremony (Williams). The actual hand fastening, I found
out, is the symbol for tying two souls together in the
Pagan culture (Stephenson). It is not tying the woman to
the man, as some people have come to believe. The ceremony
that I saw not only included the Handfasting but also
included several other strange and exciting Pagan
traditions.
The first Pagan tradition that was included in the ceremony
was the blessing of the elements. Some Pagan's believe that
the world is made up of elements and that each of the five
pertains to a different aspect of everyday life. To begin
the elemental blessing the minister took the bride and
groom to the Northern most wall of the room to ask the
Earth element for its blessing. The Earth element
represents "good health, fertility, groundedness, and
things concerning the physical realm," to ask for its
blessing they took a dish of dirt and placed it in the
corner (Wright). The dirt, the minister said, represented
fertility, so apparently this couple wants to be fertile
(Williams). They then went to the Eastern corner of the
room for the Air element, which represents the mental realm
(Wright). There they brought a bell to ring. They then
moved to the southernmost corner of the room for the fire
element, which represents harmony (Wright). They brought
with them a candle, which represents the harmony of their
souls being united. Then they moved to the westernmost
corner of the room for the element water, which represents
the emotional realm (Wright). They brought a bowl of water
to this side of the room and said a blessing over it to ask
for future emotional help. Finally they moved to the center
of the room, which represents the spiritual realm (Wright).
Here the minister held a Pendulum to encourage the bride
and groom to grow spiritually together. The bride, groom,
and the minister finished by walking back to the Alter. It
was a relatively simple portion of the ceremony but it held
a lot of spiritual significance. It shows that the
authority in the Pagan religion does not lie in a
particular God or Goddess but instead in the earth itself.
By asking for the elements blessing over a person, deity,
and/or God, it gives the overall authority to the earth.
This is interesting considering the fact that most
religions look to a single God or to a group of Gods for
guidance; they do not, however, look to the earth to bless
their rituals.

Isaac Bonewitz Healing Spell
As many of you already know Isaac Bonewitz has been battling cancer and has had to postpone his interview with EKO newlsetter.
The pagan pride coordinators have posted this in hopes that we circulate this to
get as many people as possible to participate in this healing spell for him. Please feel free to pass this message on to any groups or facebook,
myspace or twitter pages that you can in hope of getting more people involved.
Please share this with everyone! :)
Some call it a rolling thunder ritual, as our wishes unite and roll across the sky through the time zones. Others call it a string of pearls, as we add our wishes to the string and send it on. You may have another name for it. Whatever you call it, we need to make it happen now!
As you may know, our beloved elder, Isaac Bonewits, has been battling cancer for several months. His wife,Phaedra, says, "We want his tumors to fade away to nothing, and we want 30 more years together. Pass it along." Yes, please do pass it on to all groups and individuals who will help.
May 27 is the full moon. That should give us enough time to circulate this message and make preparations. You may wish to print a picture of Isaac and Phaedra from his website or Facebook, to be your focus. Beginning at 9:00 p.m. in your time zone, start the thunder rolling! Cast a circle, light a candle, do whatever works for you. Then chant
repeatedly:
"Isaac's tumors fade away.
Thirty more years with Phae."
So mote it be.
Thank you for your caring and for your participation.

I Wandered Three Lawns
by Sherry Gilles
I wandered three lawns with toppled stones
most spirits there lay cold, alone
beloved husband, baby, child,
mother, sister, brother,
underneath the stones in piles are bones
these little commentary stones
close together and all alone
the flowers for the dead presume
the flowing alabaster tombs
the doors have fallen, with the fates
exposing drawers beyond the grates
iron tends to rust, our bodies turn to dust
and yet, it seems we must
build monuments to pain
so we can cry again
a little concrete tenament, row houses do decry
that every one of us from birth is destined, yet, to die
i do not seek a final place... for beaks of mourning birds impale
warbling, screeching from the palls of marble, what tales!

May Pagan Movie Night: Egyptian Cartoons Friday, May 21, 2010 7:00 PM
This month, we'll be watching several episodes of "Tutenstein" and "Mummies Alive!"
"Mummies Alive!" is a superhero-style cartoon that incorporates elements of Egyptian mythology. Nice action, a little light on the scholarship.
"Tutenstein" is a Discovery Kids cartoon about a boy pharaoh whose mummy has been brought back to life. Not as heroic, but it's more serious about representing Ancient Egyptian religion & culture. And it's funny, too. Light snacks and refreshments will be served (I'll even try to pick up more Turkish Delight! :) We often go over to the Hollywood Diner on Ashland/North Ave after the movie to chat and hang out.
