About
Whence Comes the Song: A Book of Elemental Rites™ A Songbook of Thresholds, Rites of Passage, and Old Ways Remembered Songs for birthing, for blessing, for dying and marrying, for crossing and becoming—drawn from the old stones and the wind’s memory. A ritual companion for the soul’s long walk. This body of work carries more than 55,000 words of myth-infused lyrics, elemental rites, invocations, and seasonal practice—each one grown from the roots of Irish cosmology and oral tradition. These songs are not a re-creation of folklore from a distance; they are the fruit of decades of embodied work with ritual, land, and story. Born of my own belonging, this collection is part of a wider legacy project grounded in cultural memory, ancestral voice, and the sacred act of remembering.
