We are blindly grappling for a sense of ancestral identity in this melting pot North American world. What we end up with is no more than academia, fantasy, idealization and imagination at best. And so it is with my own exploration of "heritage".
Somewhere in the intersection of English & Irish folk music, folklore, folk customs, paganism and even folk horror, a deep unnamable longing began to develop. A thirst for something beyond this empty modern alienation and outsider occultism.
Of course, these songs exist in myriad forms already, but perhaps contributing to these living traditions helps tap into that mysterious channel even for the fleeting few moments. An earnest attempt was made to create my own versions and explore them along all of the pathways that brought me to the question of heritage in the first place. These resulting ancestral cut-ups are deeply fulfilling, and, in the end, opened up even more pathways to traverse ...
May all anemoians walk your own paths, discover your songs for yourselves, and hopefully also arrive at a new-found place of spiritual enrichment. However that may look.
