MOONRISE: Songs of Love, Magic & Other Mysteries
Moonrise is Deborah "DJ" Hamouris, Robin Dolan & Denise Castleton. Together they weave harmonious spells with this collection of songs. A cappella arrangements are interspersed with guitar, Appalachian dulcimer and percussion. These original, traditional and Neo-Pagan favorites range from hearty songs you'll sing along with, to thoughtful ballads you'll listen to and remember.


Many of these songs are written by many well known authors &composers in the pagan community, such as Starhawk, Anodea Judith, Ian Corrigan, Gwydion Pendderwen, Ruth Barrett, Amber K, plus some songs we just liked the spirit of, and of course, some originals by Moonrise members.

Deborah & Rick Hamouris & Friends:
Siblings Deborah and Rick Hamouris picked up in 1986 with this recording where the late Gwydion Pendderwen had left off when a car accident took his life four years prior. Welcome to Annwfn was available only on cassette until Rick remastered this Neo-Pagan classic in late 2001 and reissued it on CD in 2004. Along with such friends as Anodea Judith and Buffalo, this collection of songs and chants remains a favourite among Pagans all over America with such standards as the title cut, "We Are a Circle" and "Horned One." No Pagan music collection is complete without this CD!

At last, there truly is a "greatest hits" album of the past 30 years of Pagan music! Here are the songs that have shaped the current resurgence of Pagan spirituality. Exclusive re-mastered tracks include the long-lost original Burning Times recording and several other rare musical gems from Gwydion Pendderwen, Catherine Madsen, and Velvet Hammer. The songs have been culled from literally hundreds of albums produced by Pagans since the 1970s, and feature popular musicians Gypsy, Todd Alan, Wendy Rule, Emerald Rose, Avalon Rising, and many more. They tell our history, and also chart the evolution of our thought and belief. What makes these songs Pagan? They may be about the ancient nature religions of the European continent, they may deal with themes such as life after death, being Pagan in a Christian world, or encountering figures from the Spirit realms. With extensive liner notes detailing the importance of each track and the artist who created it, this inspiring collection is a must-have for any Pagan music fan.

These 11 songs and chants from Reclaiming's Spiral Dance ritual are played in both a capella and full choral styles, with dance-inducing instrumentals. Includes vocals by Suzanne Sterling, Deborah Hamouris, Susan Falkenrath, Anne Hill, and Max Ventura. A ritual in itself, this tape captures the magic of Samhain.

Gaia's Voice, once a well-known Pagan chorus in the San Francisco Bay Area, performed on the West Coast for many years at festivals and gatherings. This is our first recording from 1990, and features founder Deborah Hamouris as choral director. The album includes both original sacred music and some re-written hymns from the Christian tradition. It is a wonderful album, and though Gaia's Voice is no longer with us, I hope other Pagan choruses will soon appear.

Titles include: Gaia Speaks, The Chorus of Life, Stand Up for the Earth, Angel of Bells, Morning, Thank You for This Life, Unorthodoxology, Goddess/Water Medley, Pan, Metamorphosis, One With Our Mother, The Magic Wheel, Star Spangled Pagan
