SHORT INTRO
The memory of the fire from the witch hunts, still burns in our bones. This double album is written at the intersection between the traces of trauma from the witch hunts – that continues to affect the experience of womanhood today – and my own personal journey, marked by violence and abusive relationships, rape, and loss of three ectopic pregnancies.
The music is the culmination of 10 years of academic and musical cross-cultural research and work centred around the female experience and our connection to the power of the divine feminine. Anchored in the interconnectedness between Scotland and Scandinavia.
This is Part I, which brings grief, anger, loss into the light whilst reclaiming power, agency, and rising stronger from it – within ourselves and as a community.
By inserting my own lived experience into writing music anchored in the history of the witch hunts, I wish to create an immersive dimension that will help unveil our ancestral wounds.
These albums will create a space for healing, give others an opportunity for personal engagement with the darkest period in women’s history through a musical portrayal of it, and serve as a musical memorial to our foremothers and ancestral sisters.
By supporting this project, you become part of a community. Part of a living memorial and testament to what we will never forget, and a refusal to accept silent suffering as part of the female experience today.
The memory of the fire of the witch hunts still burns in our bones. These albums are written at the intersection between the traces of trauma from the witch hunts – that continues to affect the experience of womanhood today – and my own personal journey, marked by violence and abusive relationships, rape, and loss of three ectopic pregnancies. This is the first of two albums to be released in 2027-2028.
By inserting my own lived experience into the writing of music anchored in history, I wish to create an immersive dimension that will unapologetically unveil our ancestral wounds.
