About 25 years ago, in a small mountain cabin, an album of pagan songs was written and recorded by 2 sisters - Linde and Lora Craig. Their technology and equipment were limited and their creativity was often fuelled by nachos and margaritas.
Here are a couple of the songs from the album. Click on the titles to hear them and, if you like, feel free to save them on your computer and share them with others.

The "Sign of the Unicorn" spoken of in the song is a reference to Lancelot, the "unicorn" bred by Morninglory & Father Otter during the early 1980s. Many of us in the pagan community were quite excited about this at the time and took it as a sign that wicca, paganism and the goddess religion would soon be stepping out of the closet and onto the streets. This has indeed come to pass and I still like the romantic view that little Lancelot was perhaps a herald of the changing times. Midnight Celebration One of these days, I'll get around to adding the other songs on the album... |

**Something You Should Know** The
talent behind this music is my baby sister - Linde Craig-Moore. What I contributed in the way of lyrics or ideas regarding harmonies and instrumentation was brought to life by her genius. (Picture me jumping around the room waving my arms yelling, "I think we need really strong drums coming in here" (me, who has absolutely no sense of rhythm saying this!) or "Can you do a sort of 'a cappella', mysterious voice thingy without words in the middle of that?" - and Sis shaking her head and laughing or plugging her ears and groaning as I try to demonstrate. And then she comes out with something 10 times better than I was even hearing in my head. How'd she do that? I try to pretend that's what I meant all along....
