\n\"\"The Four Cornered Castle – Damh the Bard Songbook Volume 2<\/strong> <\/span>
\nfrom Damh the Bard
\n<\/span>
\nhttps:\/\/www.paganmusic.co.uk\/songbooks\/<\/a>
\n<\/span>
\nNEW – This chord book contains the chords from my last three studio albums, The Cauldron Born, Tales from the Crow Man and Antlered Crown and Standing Stone. As with Songbook 1 there is no musical notation in the book – I don’t read music myself – but the chord shapes and locations within the lyrics will show you more about my writing process, and how to play the songs as I do. As with my last songbook, I hope you enjoy singing these songs around your camp fires, in your covens and groves, or simply on your own or with friends. Get strumming! A4 ringbound format.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n\u201cSacred Lands & Spiritual Landscapes is based on a symposium sponsored by an old southern university & a very new seminary created to serve the communities of Pagan and Earth-based religions. Individual chapters include topics as diverse as the Glastonbury Goddess conference, Southern Witchery, the lesbian land movement, and an industrial band from Britain, among others. An Introduction by noted historian Ronald Hutton and comments by Chas Clifton serve to put this unique collaboration into context as the first book to come out of a gathering of scholars of Pagan Studies in North America.\u201d
