If you consider yourself of the Pagan persuasion and you don't yet own most of these tracks on another album, I highly recommend "The Best of Pagan Song." It's especially a good bargain for your buck considering all the various artists that are included, not to mention that some of these recordings are rather difficult to find anywhere else now.

Many of these songs are absolute classics and thoroughly inspirational. They touch and move the Pagan Soul deeply. My many favorites include: The Burning Times, The Heretic Heart, We Won't Wait Any Longer, We Do Not Die, Rime of the Ancient Matriarch, and The Christians and the Pagans.

The sound quality is true to any of the original releases that I have heard myself. The musical stylings are mostly folk and renn faire fare, although some tracks are a bit more modern in style. All in all, an energizing and joyous album, one that is especially great as house cleaning music! =)

This CD is a collection of all types of music from tunes that stay in your head ("We won't wait any longer" and "Lord of the Dance") to the haunting "Spirits". The CD is worth the cost just for "The Burning Times" and the "Christians and Pagans". I give the CD 4 stars because some of the songs just didn't quite click for me- but that is the joy of paganism, the variety. So, buy the CD, you will probably find a good portion of the tunes are pleasurable, and some may just stay with you forever.

Upon listening to this CD; I fell in love with many of the tracks. My favorite being We Do Not Die. There are many tracks on this CD that give the listener a very interesting survey of the diverse nature of the evolving nature of Pagan/Wiccan music. Many of the selections have most likely been used by individuals as well as groups to enhance their own ritual experience. I truly thank the many artist who are represented on this CD for having put musically the multitude of expressions it is to be Pagan.

Not all of these tracks are great but Dar Williams definitely ranks #1. If you're following the Path of the Wise, check out this CD.

Some of the songs are good, but I got a bad taste in my mouth with the first few songs. There seemed to be a lot of angst in them. I think pagan music should be spiritual and about how we celebrate, not about how it's us versus them. There is enough of that negativity out there elsewhere.
For a truly beautiful and spiritual CD try "Goddess Chant" by Shawna Carol.

This is a wonderful compilation of songs of the Pagan Heart. I sing these songs with my children and play it in the car on the way to festival. Musical, magickal performances.

A magnificent compilation for ritual, parties, or even a teaching tool. The Older Pagans will find this a wonderful reminder of why we have come this way and why we've stayed. Newer Pagans who may not be aware of our widespread presence in the arts will most likely find themselves inspired.

All said, it's just an incredible album. Whether you've been an initiate for 30 years or a student for three months, "The Best of Pagan Song" affects all that connects to the self, the Mighty Ones, and to the universal Pagan community.

it's real pagan music. i realy like the music and the songs tels you storry's.

This CD is a wonderful collaboration of pagan music artists from tracks range from soft to up beat! Highly recommended!

This CD is just what I had hoped it would be. Make no mistake, this is Pagan music at it's best.
