From one of those chain e-mails... here are some words that my friends have used to describe me, if they could only use ONE...

What's New: In the Studio... I'm working on a song called The Chalice currently. It is about taking one's power back and being the strong and magnificent Goddess within... I have been inspired lately to get this one out. It's coming along... The CD will have 13 songs on it

BellaWyck... back in the studio the second weekend of March... we'll keep you updated as it also comes along... Spring is coming... Much Love

Magickal Hibernation is coming up again! Please join us for lots of music with not only BellaWyck, but SONA, too! Here is the link:

BellaWyck and I are keeping warm by the fires in our own homes, and planning our next move as far as recording goes, which we plan to commence in January sometime. My solo album is also still in the beginning stages, but much more musical inspiration fills me every day. Things are pleasantly quiet right now, though we have been spending a lot of time working on the shop: Beltana's Wellness Center... and at home. BellaWyck has their very own web presence now, at www.bellawyck.com , although nothing much has been done yet, or won't until we find a good web designer. (Or I learn how to do it with this new program, myself.) I am excited about the prospects of putting together this BellaWyck CD... we have such diverse sounds as individuals and such a wonderful harmony as a group. We'll keep you informed!

The first two performances with BellaWyck have been quite enjoyable!!! First, at the Ozark Avalon's Harvest Gathering, and last weekend, at the all-women's Gaea Goddess Gathering, we came together in some pretty magickal ways as a group. All of us have had our own individual place in the project, and it wouldn't be the same without any of us. I am working on some reviews right now for the BellaWyck page. I am excited about our upcoming Soule Feste, and also about our first time (with SONA) out at WytcheHaven #6. Good things are happening. I'll keep you posted!

The Ladies and I are getting geared up for Ozark Avalon's Harvest Gathering, on Labor Day weekend, August 30 - September 3rd, and we hope you will join us! I'll be playing there with SONA, and will also be doing my first set with BellaWyck. Very exciting! We are getting out the drums and guitars this weekend out at Wolvenwold, to do some practicing, jamming and chanting... so get ready for something very special.

Even sooner, I'll be at the Festival of Tara (August 17 - 19) with my SONA cohorts, jammin' away amidst a mass assembly of hot sweaty Scottish Highland Gamers doing the caber toss, and drinkin' mead! What more could one want? Hope to see you there!!!

Hello, Blessed Be and Namaste to All! I am excited to tell you that I am finally in the process of recording not one, but two albums. We have at last "broken ground," and have the beginnings of several tracks completed, out of the twenty-two or so songs that I am eager to record. So far, we are calling them, for studio organization sake; "The Treasure," and "Song Terrestrial." Those are tentative names, of course, but you'll be hearing a lot of very new music, sometime in the near future. My current goal is to have at least one of the projects completed by April of 2008, in time for the Spirit Awakening festival in Alton, Il.

I'll be performing at said festival, and also the Gaea Goddess Gathering Festival (in September of 2007), both as a "solo" act. Fortunately, I have the support of several of my female cohorts, who will be joining me for GGG for certain, and possibly also for the Spirit Awakening CD release. Here is some info on both of these events, and about the lovely people who will be joining me:

September 13 - 16, 2007 at Camp Gaea, Kansas.

Gaea Goddess Gathering (GGG) is a festival for all women. The founding mothers, Rosalie Vaught and Carrie Moonstar started GGG in 1997 and the festival has evolved into a wonderful 4-day women's spirituality event focusing on the celebration of the Goddess in every woman. There will be wonderful workshops, vivacious vendors, and excellent music. Beltana will be offering her singing/songwriting and guitar skills on various pieces, performing at around 8PM at the main pavilion, on Friday evening. Joining her will be Michelle Eagle Heart on violin/guitars/vocals, Jennie Starr on percussion/vocals, and Kittin on percussion/vocals. Click the link above for more information on the Gaea Goddess Gathering.

Spirit Awakening

Beltana and her new gang of gleemen (to include Beltana on vocals/guitar, Johnny on classical/acoustic/electric guitar, Jennie Starr on percussion, Kittin on backing vocals, and more tba) will perform in the main ballroom on Friday evening, from 10:30 pm to 12:30 am. This special event is hosted by some of Bel & Johnny's most excellent friends, and will take place in a lovely hotel, with a swimming pool, workshops, children's and adult's programming, drumming, dancing, singing and more. Click link for info, which will be updated as time permits.

Also, here are some more links to keep you up to date on what is going on with solo things,
