DEBUT FULL LENGTH CD FROM OF HEARTH AND HOME NOW AVAILABLE!

"Of Hearth & Home is the summation of life, its spirit and spark, its darkness and warmth. It is the story of life, one life and all life. Directed by time in the city, in the woods, time alone or with companionship. Songs of Love & Warmth is a collection of stories about family, fatherhood, isolation, connection, aimlessness and direction. It is an outward projection of everything it is to be alive. The good and the bad, the beauty and the ugliness, everything that ultimately makes life what it is… a miracle worth celebrating."

An official short film/video has been released today featuring the medicinal musical “Caller of Spirits” from my 2012 Blood of the Black Owl collection “Light the Fires!” My deepest warmth and respect to the film’s director and visionary Celine C. Cix for the authentic and beautifully profound visual journey.

Please make sure to view said film through Vimeo's full 1080P HD quality setting. Also, I strongly suggest headphones (((d-_-b))) for an optimal listening experience.

As always, thank you for the time, interest and support.

In other news,

I'll be heading off to Iceland here with my best friend in the next couple of weeks to engage in a profound and sacred journey, filled with a rich and deepening intent shared, as well as personal. One of these elements of the craft, will offer the very rare opportunity to capture and record foundation environmental recordings, as well as perspective mantric and galdr vocal arrangements, for the forthcoming 20th anniversary Cycle of the Raven Talons debut double LP collection.

Locations have been scouted through several cave systems, but most importantly, I'll find my spirit capturing the authenticity of the medicinal musical, through ritual and ceremony, within this last 20 minute meditation of said collection the Northern Altar (track 4) requires. I'll be documenting the recording sessions through the Instagram account for all of you interested in this process. May the vulture bone flute sing through the breath of mystery.

Here is a pic of said location entitled "Heimskautsgerðiðset" or "Artic Henge" located in Raufarhöfn, one of the most remote and northernmost villages in Iceland with a population of 194. I've also included a scale model pic of the entire sacred site when upon its completion. I truly look forward to not only the creative and artistic life this will give, but the vital clearing of spirit through a long meditation retreat as well.

 Be well folks and much more to come...Believe it or not.

As always, thanks for taking the time to read.
