The Asphodel Choir is a small group of pagan singers who perform ancient, modern, and original folk songs.
They are generally available to perform at weekend events in Massachusetts, when proper notice is given. Contact Raven at
cauldronfarm@hotmail.com for real pagan music and a great performance.
The choir does not charge money for performances, as they do it for the love of God/dess, but they do reserve the right
to choose venues carefully.
If you would like to sing with the choir, or are just interested in learning some good pagan songs, our practices are on
THURSDAYS at 7pm and are traditionally cancelled the week following a performance.
It is unknown if practices will eventually go back to their regular Monday at 7pm. Practices are at
Bones & Flowers, 980 Main Street in Worcester, not far from the Clark U campus.
Beginners are welcome! You don't need to be a great singer, you just need to love to sing.
If you haven't sung with us before, or haven't sung with us in a while, please call ahead.
The number at the shop is (508) 798-3330, or you can call Cauldron Farm at (978) 928-4198.
The Asphodel Choir has begun the long slow process of putting together a songbook with sheet
music to all their original songs. You may download sheet music for their Lammas song,
"Golden One" (44KB), in PDF format. You can also
listen to a rough recording of the song from rehearsal: GoldenOne.mp3 (4.18MB)
Soon, the Asphodel choir hopes to put together a few professional-quality recordings.

The Asphodel Blessing Song
(listen to it)
May the earth welcome your footsteps,
May the wind sing your tale,
May fire dance from your fingertips,
May the ocean speed your sail.
May your courage never fail you,
May your words be blessed with grace;
May the spirit of inspiration light your way.
May you be a friend to your destiny
May you always know your name.
May you learn to dance with lightning
When life brings storm and rain.
May you never be far from family
Whether kin by blood or heart;
May you never feel completely set apart.
May you walk through life like a balance beam
And never stumble and fall.
May you walk through a hundred angry glares
And may it not matter at all.
May you never cease to teach
And never cease to learn;
May the spark of hope inside you always burn.
May you walk with light through your underworld
May you never fear your dark.
May you learn to love the monsters
That populate your heart.
May you be healed of your deepest wounds
And wear the scars with pride,
And may your soul never have to hide.
May the earth welcome your footsteps,
May the wind sing your tale,
May fire dance from your fingertips,
May the ocean speed your sail.
May your courage never fail you,
May your words be blessed with grace,
May the spirit of inspiration light your way.
