about

Taliesin was the greatest Bard of the Welsh tradition. The Mabinogion, a book of Welsh Celtic lore, tells his tale, which is an exploration on what it means to be a Celtic shaman.
The lyrics for this track are taken straight from the Mabinogion.

lyrics

I have been a salmon blue,
I have been a dog, a stag,
a roebuck on the highest peak,
A stock, a spade, an axe in hand,
A steed, a bull, a running buck,
I was swallowed by a hen
Nine nights was I in her crop.
I was dead, reborn again
I am Taliesin.

I know why the echo rings;
Why silver gleams; why breath is black
Why milk is white; why holly's green;
Why brine is salt; why ravens fly
Why linnet's green and berries red;
I have heard the ocean cry;
Find me where the white bird sings
I was dead, reborn again
I am Taliesin.

about

Sencha Skene Seattle, Washington

(pronounced SHEN-ka SKAYNE)
I study all forms of spirituality.
The more I learn about paths from around the world, the more I know they all have more in common than not.

I seek the ancient origins of spirituality; the realms of animism and shamanism.

I began music in 1974. My influences were Neil Young, John Prine, Dan Fogelberg, and Pink Floyd.

Now I seek the mystical through music.
