What do you think? Answer below!
what music?
Rhapsody has some good music. Laura Powers is there. The Libana website has some good ritual music. Loreena McKennitt, though not overtly Pagan has some great music that many Pagans use.
Also, wiccanweb.ca has a radio section with some good music on it.
I just have to say… Loreena McKinnet (sp?) has some great music with pagan themes…
Have you got an mp3 player that can download from the net?
Look for
Steeleye span
Enya
Loreena McKennitt
The Mediaeval Baebes
Celtic Woman
and
Pagan Musicians Sites:

Chants
I
Horned one, Mother’s son, (Horned one, Lover, Son)
Leaper in the corn
Deep in the Mother
Die and be reborn.

We are the old people
We are the new people
We are the same people
Stronger than before
III
Return to the Mother,
Return to the Mother,
Return to the Mother,
Die and be reborn.

We give thanks
for unknown blessings
already on the way.

X
We have gathered
In their names
Now we sing them
Home again.
XI
Stone on stone and hand in hand
Heel to Earth as we pace the land
Ancient markings on the ground
Ancient songs the stones resound.
Dance, the giants, dance
Dance, the giants, dance.
XII
I believe that the day will come
When we will work as one
I believe that the time will come
When our Will will be done
Our Will will be done
Our Will … will be done.
XIII
We are one with the Lady
We are one with the Lord
We are one with the Lady
We are one with the Lord
And we pray that the balance will one day be restored
And they will know we are pagans by our love
by our love
And they’ll know that we are pagans by our love.
XIV
Listen to the Lord and Lady
Call their children
In the moonlight
XV
Fire to water to earth to air
It’s a circle of life, the dance without end
So merry meet and merry part and merry meet again
Merry meet and merry part and merry meet again
XVI
We all come from the Goddess
And to her we shall return
Like a drop of rain
flowing to the ocean
We all come from the Horned One
and to him we shall return
Like a flash of light
coming from a fiery stone (shining on the mountain)
Hoof and horn, hoof and horn,
All that dies shall be reborn.
Corn and grain, corn and grain,
All that dies shall rise again.
I don’t know about downloads for pagan music, but I bought a CD online called “The Best of Pagan Song” which has some of the BEST pagan music, it is a collection of a bunch of different artists, and I can’t recommend it highly enough! I think you can get it anywhere they sell pagan stuff online, like abaxion.com.
Ariel, Ariel, all hail to Ariel, Queen of Wiccan Wonderfulness!
Love you a bunch!
Lady Morgana
“Carmena Burana” by Orr. Xcellent!
steeleye span, EARLY Spacegoats cd’s (not recent stuff) tantara “into the light”, blue horses (welsh band, the singer is a lovely celtic witch), seize the day “alive” (double cd), celtica, baka beyond..
i think you would enjoy all these, especially tantara (three very witchy women!). if you have trouble locating any of them, email me.
seize the day are folk/protest earth loving types, and some songs will make you cry, or laugh out loud. they have one little song/chant which is nice to use for meditation or before spells …
oh round mother earth,
bring her into birth,
sweet creatress of the night and day,
bring your spirit through,
rest our thoughts in you,
guide our feet in the natural way
they sing this 9 times, gradually becoming louder towards the 4th/5th time, then becoming quieter again.
if i think of any more i’ll let you know!
blessed be sister

ps.. mr indigo, i know some of those chants, and i think have some on cd, maybe the spacegoats cd has the horned one on it??? and another lovely one about diamond rain. nice choices! )o(
I tend to stick to Enya…Loreena McKinnett, and then there is my all time favorite…Tai Chi !
Blessings!

I love Loreena McKinnet. She lives about an hour away in Stratford, Ontario. A beautiful place. Thanks everyone for all the great stuff. I’m still very new to the Pagan/Wiccan community and I have received sooooo much priceless information from all of you. Thank you all for not judging a “Newbie”. Much love to Ariel for this wonderful question.

I don’t know about downloads, but Laura Powers is one of my favorites for Pagan music. I really like Celtic Woman too. Enya is pretty good also. I might check out Loreena McKennitt now after reading some of these other answers.
