Living Echoes of Ancient times was conceived during a Florida Tour when many people were asking for the melodies of the most famous chants shared at the Circle, around the fire and in Sacred Space. Many people also were asking for music with just harp, and this CD gives 10 tracks of melody medlies of the best of pagan chants, arranged with unusual instruments: celtic harp, mandolin, Djembe and some wind instruments.
You can play this for yoga, for meditation, and for Circle atmosphere, of at the office, where no-one need know, not even by reading the cover, that the music is pagan, and not just lovely Celtic music.
Living Echoes is Castalia’s fourth pagan Album and is becoming more and more popular as people realize it’s not just pagan karaoke: it’s live-enhancing spirit-music.
Castalia is a multi-instrumentalist, composer and singer who tours America and Canada playing for pagans at festivals, shops, Unitarian events and even large living rooms.
