Over the years, I have written many songs and chants inspired by my work in the Avalonian Tradition. I am currently working on a project with several SOA sisters to compile a CD of the beautiful original music which has come out of the Avalonian Tradition, created by many women. As this project progresses, I would like to offer a few older recordings of some of my work. Most of these were recorded in 1999 - 2000 during a previous manifestation of this project. I hope you will enjoy these sharings and that they will facilitate your connection with the Holy Island. Your feedback is always welcome If you like what you hear, for the sake of bandwidth, please download the mp3 file for your own use, rather than streaming the file. These chants and songs may be freely used and shared in a ritual context, but may not be re-recorded, re-distributed, or sold in any format. Please contact me for permissions information. Many thanks! More to come...

Tor Whistling secrets past
the gray stone Touching harp strings,
bearing song I am the Breath of The Wind above the Tor The Wind above the Tor
I am the Breath of The Wind above the Tor The Wind above the Tor
I am the Lantern on the
Tor Lighting spirits,
dancing circles Spiral hilltop’s
glowing beacon I am the Flame of
Transformation The Lantern on the Tor The Lantern on the Tor
I am the Breath of Inspiration I am the Flame of Transformation The Wind above the Tor The Lantern on the Tor
I am the Well below the
Tor Souls’ reflections,
mystic symbols Silver mirror of the
Moon I am the Womb of
Generation The Well below the Tor The Well below the Tor
I am the Breath of Inspiration I am the Flame of Transformation I am the Womb of Generation The Wind above the Tor The Lantern on the Tor The Well below the Tor

Music and Lyrics by Jhenah Telyndru Performed by Jhenah Telyndru Lyrics: With my words, may I speak Your wisdom With my deeds, may I serve You well With my hands, may I offer healing With my heart, of Your love I'll tell

Lyrics: Rise Tor, Rise Tor Rise in our hearts once again Rise Tor, Rise Tor Spin in the spiral without end
Dark caped and hooded, we circle around Labyrinthine priestesses, making no sound There on your breast, we call the Lady down Under the face of the moon
Rise Tor, Rise Tor Rise in our hearts once again Rise Tor, Rise Tor Spin in the spiral without end © 1988 Jhenah Telyndru. All rights reserved. Music and Lyrics by Jhenah Telyndru Performed by Jhenah Telyndru and Womynfolke, 2000 Lyrics: O, in that place of mist-cloaked mystery Past blood-tinged spring and blooming apple tree There lies a well-worn path which circles high That hearts can see though no moon lights the sky
CHORUS:
That spiraled path will lead you deep within Past pain and tears so rebirth can begin Uproot old fears, confront them, set them free Become the woman you were born to be
CHORUS
The road is steep and long and fraught with pain The way turns dark and shadowed by the rain But should you stumble off, She'll break your fall And guide you back along with Her sure call
CHORUS
To know Her love and love Her in return The easiest and hardest thing to learn To love the face reflected in the well To make a place inside for love to dwell
CHORUS
And when you reach the summit, you will see That which this world has taught could never be Your sisters climbing hard and reaching high Their freedom won, their wings embrace the sky
CHORUS
