Avast, Me Hearties!

It be International Talk Like a Pirate Day! I be showing ye a video of Aelstorm, a pirate metal band I discovered just today.

Sudha

I discovered this singer recently thanks to last.fm. The music is beautiful, and could be beneficial for meditation music.

Kellianna

Kellianna sings pagan music in a style similar to Christian Gospel music. Her music can be used for ceremonies, but I have not yet listened to her entire catalog, so I am unsure if her music is holiday specific or not. Either way, her music can be appreciated as religious music.

Spiral Dance

Spiral Dance is a band from Adelaide, South Australia. Their music is religious, Wiccan specifically. They have songs for each of the Sabbats, and sing many songs about mythology as well. This is one band I would recommended to anyone looking for Wiccan religious music.

Týr

Týr is a band from the Faroe Islands. They are in the genre "Viking Metal". For those of you that might not know, they take old Viking folk songs and re-write them to modern sounds.

Some don't like the band because of some of the symbolism they use. What they are doing is using the symbols of pre-Christan Nordic religions. Unfortunately, the Nazis also took these symbols and changed the symbolism of them. This doesn't mean that this band, or others like them, are racist however. They are just proud of their pre-Nazi and pre-Christian ancestors.

Inkubus Sukkubus

This band has a unique sound, and is religious in nature. I admit I haven't listened to all of their music yet, so I'm not sure if any can be used as Sabbat music, but anything is possible.

Celtic Woman

Celtic Woman is a band of Irish women who perform traditional Irish/Celtic music. They have beautiful singing voices, and the violinist flits around the stage while playing fast music. It almost feels like she really is a fairy flying around the stage.

Although they do sing some obviously Christian tunes, I would still consider some of their traditional music pagan. They are a great choice for a New Age music library.
