about

Being a native of the hills of the Carolinas, I grew up with this song. People who know me know that I follow a Norse path. One of the names for Odin is "The Wanderer." I've always liked this song, in spite of its Christian origins. So I made a slight revision on the lyrics to reflect my own beliefs.

lyrics

Wayfaring Stranger
©2022 Charlton Hall

I'm just a poor wayfaring stranger
Traveling through this world alone
There's no sickness, no toil or danger
In that bright land I call my home

I'm going there to see my father
And all my kindred who've gone on
I'm just crossing to Valhalla
I'm just crossing over home

I know dark clouds will gather 'round me
I know my way is hard and steep
Yet the Great Hall shall rise before me
Where Odin’s chosen their vigils keep

I'm going home to see my mother
She said she'd meet me when I come
I'm just crossing to Valhalla
I'm just crossing over home
I'm just crossing to Valhalla
I'm just crossing over home

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.
