My favorite Elaine Silver CD so far! If you are a fan of Loreena McKennitt fan you will also enjoy Elaine Silver. Her music is full of light, faerie, and the goddess. As soon as I heard it I had to buy more as gifts.

Most of these songs are haunting and beautiful, but I found some of them to be painfully slow in melody. The first song "Divine Emotion" is a perfect example. However, the rest of the songs on this CD more than make up for the few slow ones. And besides, some folks like the slow ones! I loved "In Days Gone By" especially. Elaine Silver has a pretty voice and this CD is pleasant to listen to.

I don't know what the reviewer was thinking who thought this was amaturish - maybe she needs to listen to it again. This CD is so beautifully haunting with wonderful lyrics that I get filled with emotion when I listen to it. I cried to "How can anybody" the first time I heard it. A friend raved to me about this CD and said I would love it and she was right. Elaine Silver has a lovely voice! Joy is in my heart when I listen to this CD (and sing along with it too)!

Elaine Silver has a voice you'll never forget. It has been described as stunningly clear and fine, magnificent, rich and supple. She sings a cappella or accompanies herself on guitar and banjo, and has performed in concert for hundreds of thousands at colleges, festivals, churches, clubs and children's events throughout North America and Europe. She was featured on New Jersey Network's award winning television program State of the Arts and is the recipient of a Garden State Music Award for Outstanding Folk Performer. Elaine has appeared in concert with Arlo Guthrie, Doc Watson, Tom Paxton, Suzanne Vega, Jorma Kaukonen, Tom Chapin and many more of the folk world's brightest stars. She recently teamed up with best-selling author Alan Cohen as musical accompanist for his workshops and special events. Her highly acclaimed recordings, Open Hearts, Echoes of Light and Faeries, Dreams and Other Friends continue to receive rave reviews, while touching the hearts of her listeners. Her newest release, Faerie Goddess, has garnered much attention and was named one of the top ten folk albums of 1997 by WQXR's Bob Sherman of Woody's Children. "Faerie Elaine" brings magic, light and love to her concerts and appearances.

I got this album when I was pregnat with my daughter....I played it so often that "By The Earth" is the only song she'll go to sleep to. Wonderful words, beautiful music....a truely enlightening and brightening album. I am definately going to get more copies of this album for gifts..and a new one for me...I'm wearing my other copy out!

Light and cheerful, this is a flowery, Goddess-focused collection of songs, sung with a crystal clear voice. It is a happy album, even during songs as tragic as the classic "Burning Times". Somehow, the cheeriness always shines through.

This album does not have a heavy spiritual feel, even though it is geared toward the enlightenment of spirit. Instead, it features folk-like songs that use a lighter touch to gently guide you through your day. Songs like "Softening", which is about taking life more in stride are absolutely precious on days when you feel wound up. And the inclusion of Libby Roderick's "How Could Anyone" was a brilliant idea. It's a song about what it means to be beautiful and whole.

This springy, colorful album should be a welcome addition to any Goddess-centered music collection.

My introduction to Elaine Silver was through her Cd 'Lady Of the Lake,' a Cd that is still amongst my favorites. 'Faerie Goddess' was given to me personally by Elaine as a Thank You gift when she performed for my church back in July 2006. Once again her music took me on a magical journey of truth and transformation. Elaine is a gifted singer and song writer whose roots are in folk. 'Faerie Goddess' celebrates the Goddess and introduces us to pagan folklore. One of my favorite tracks is her rendition of the song 'Burning Times' authored by Charley Murphy. Seven of the 13 songs were authored by Elaine. This is a magical Cd that will inspire you and draw you closer to the Goddess. Thank you Elaine for this incredible music. Blessed Be.

I am only 16 and throughout my childhood I have been listening to Faerie Elaine's music...I have most of her newer albums such as Faerie Goddess, Divine Favorites, Fun Stuff, The Lady of The Lake, I choose Love, and Faeries, Dreams and other friends. I have seen her in performances twice and would defenitely urge anyone who does not love her music to try listeing to some other albums of hers.

I love the album Faerie Goddess; it has chants and songs that are warm, loving and beautiful. Since I got this cd I had to know more of this Faery Elaine, as she calls herself sometimes.
She isn't really professional, but her voice makes you flesh creep. Ballads and chearful songs, in a total of 13 songs.
Although I have to say that some texts, like: don't you know you're body is a temple, the earth is a witch and nine million european women died; isn't an accurate thing to say; because it that is just a romantic idea of female witches. But if you look beyond that: it really sounds very nice!

I also have Faeries, dreams and Other Friends, which is a cd full of American Children Songs, such as; Puff the Magic Dragon and Teddy Bears'Picnic. Sadly you can't obtain it from this site. ...

Elaine Silver has the voice of an angel, and in Faerie Goddess she uses her gift to illuminate the worlds of spirit, goddesses, faeries and love. Set aside some quiet time when you won't be disturbed and let her take you to a different state of mind.
