Please Note: Singing the Wheel of the Year materials will begin to be distributed in November 2023. However, payments for the subscription will begin as soon as you sign up. So, starting whenever you subscribe you will be charged 12 payments total over 12 months, but materials will be sent to you continuously from November 2023 through October 2024 regardless of when your payments end. If you sign up after November 2023, you will be given access to all materials already released, in addition to materials that will be regularly dropped for the rest of 2023-2024.
In total, you will receive song content for 9 months out of the year: The 8 holidays plus a special “Sacred Space and Invocation” theme. However, you will be paying on a monthly basis, which means that for 3 months out of the year, you will not receive new materials but will still be paying a monthly fee.

What kinds of songs will be included?
The songs in this class will offer a fun, eclectic menu that blends old and new traditions to create a fresh, but storied sound. Drawing from a wide range of historical and contemporary songs, we will explore rounds, chants and layered songs created by Saro Lynch-Thomason and other lauded song leaders as well as Scottish ballads, Irish folk songs, and middle-English rounds and poetry. The themes of our songs will be primarily animist (focusing on the forces of nature), with pagan deities and traditions as a secondary focus. Our songs will focus on the seasons (the fall and harvest, water etc.), folk traditions (plant harvesting, protective magic etc.) emotional growth (grief, hope, letting go), and praising deities related to Wheel of the Year traditions. Please see the main course description to listen to samples and review the details of the course.
