For a Love of Winter

I noticed this week just how quickly the year had flown by. One moment it seemed I was welcoming the Spring after the Beast from the Easthad left our shores. Smiling at the blooming Spring flowers, enjoying the Blackthorn, the Pussy Willow, the Mayflower, and what seemed like the next day watching the leaves turn red and yellow, hearing the Autumn storm winds outside, and the nights have drawn in…

The Wheel Turns to Samhain Once More

Rainbow from the Long Man – Billie Wilson

We had our Samhain open ritual at the Long Man of Wilmington this past Sunday. According to the calendar date we were a little early, but as I spoke about in this recent blog postI don’t see the four Fire Festival dates as fixed to the human calendar. To me they arrive when certain natural forces occur. So Imbolc will be when the snowdrops deck the…

Y Mabinogi - The Second Branch - Open for pre-orders - Here’s the story of the album

So how did this all happen?

The first thing to do was to delve into the scholarly work that had been done on the Second Branch of Y Mabinogi. The background research, the exploring, finding books old and new, the familiar thud as they fall through the letterbox, then reading, reading, reading. I quickly found there were a lot of opinions on the origins of the Second Branch tales. Some suggested…

For the Love of Magic

I’ve always had a private love affair. We fell in love when I was at secondary school. I hunted her out in the library where she used to hang out. It was pretty exciting. To that very young Damh the things she showed me placed my feet upon a life journey. But over the years, every now and then, we lost touch. Other things took my attention. I guess it can happen to any relationship. Then over the…

Thinking About - Where the Seasons Begin and End

I thought I’d open a can of worms today. Throw a hot potato in. You know, stir it up a bit. I don’t normally go there but I think, in truth, there is no one correct answer to this so it really doesn’t matter in the end – it’s all about how you personally relate to the seasons and the land around you. So what is this contentious topic…?

Seasons

But more to the point where they begin and end.

BOOM!

Thinking About - Samhain, Bones and the Ancestors

Autumn

I still find it amazing how quickly after the Autumn Equinox the season takes hold. Maybe it’s the angle of the Sun to the Earth but the shade of light blends with a touch of gold, whereas the Summer sunshine, to my eyes at least, sparkles with silver, and with that change in light the leaves turn also. There is still a lot of green across the Sussex countryside, but the red of the…

Thinking About - Doing Druidry/Being a Druid

When I put out the question to readers of the blog what would be the topics you would like me to write about it became obvious that this one was extremely popular.

How you fit Druidic practices into daily life.

This is a very important question and as ever I find my thoughts leading me to answer it in a very roundabout way. Maybe our ideal view of a Druidic practice would be similar to the…

Fortean Paganism? Tell your Tale

In a recent blog post I asked if any of you had gone through any ‘peak’ or strange, unexplainable experiences as you have walked your spiritual path. I said at the time I didn’t know quite what I would do with any of the responses but if you had time maybe you’d like to tell me about them. Well I got a lot of tales, through email, on my Facebook page, and through messenger so thank you!

What I…

It consists of a combination of electronic, orchestral, and atmospheric sounds that create a sense of tension and unease. The use of sparse and haunting melodies in certain scenes adds a layer of menace and foreboding, intensifying the suspense and thrill of the series. The soundtrack also incorporates traditional Alpine musical elements, such as yodeling and alpenhorn motifs, to further enhance the sense of place and culture.

Общие сведения

I am a modern-day Bard. My spirituality, and love of folk tradition, is expressed through my music, storytelling and poetry. Drawing on the Bardic traditions my aim is to make my performances both entertaining and educational, weaving a tapestry of myth, peace, and anthems that speak directly to the heart, but never without a good splash of humour. I am a musical storyteller who works within the world of myth that cannot be proved; where the Faerie really do dance on Midsummer's Eve, where the trees talk, and the Hollow Hills take you into the realms of Annwn. Where the Goddess rides her horse, guiding you to magic, and the Horned God of old calls us from the shadows of the Greenwood.

Film / The Pagan

The Pagan is a 1929 film directed by W.S. Van Dyke, starring Ramon Novarro.

A greedy white trader, Slater (Donald Crisp) stops off at an island somewhere in the Paumotu Islands of French Polynesia, looking for a source of copra (dried cocoanut meat). He is intrigued to hear about one Henry Shoesmith (Novarro), a "half-caste" who inherited a cocoanut plantation from his white father, but has made no effort to work it.

Slater meets Shoesmith, who clearly was raised as a Polynesian and is so innocent and guileless that he simply lets Slater have the cocoanuts for free. Henry becomes annoyed at the frenzy of activity that disturbs his formerly quiet estate, but he's more interested in Slater's young female ward, Tito (Dorothy Janis). Tito is an orphan who has been in the care of Slater for some indefinite period. Slater, who is quite racist towards Polynesians, has been training Tito, a "half-caste" like Henry, to act and talk white. Henry and Tito are immediately attracted to each other, to the extreme displeasure of Slater, who has less than wholesome intentions for his young ward.

Made at the tail end of the silent era, this film has an original soundtrack, some sound effects, and some songs performed by Novarro and Janis. Compare White Shadows in the South Seas, another film shot by Van Dyke in the south Pacific around this same time, which dealt with similar themes.

Reviews for "The Pagan Peak Soundtrack: A Composition for the Ages"

1. John Doe - 1 star
I found the Pagan Peak soundtrack to be incredibly underwhelming. The tracks lacked any memorable melodies or hooks, and instead, just seemed to blend into one another. I was hoping for some atmospheric and haunting music that would complement the dark and suspenseful nature of the show, but instead, it felt generic and uninspired. Overall, I was quite disappointed with the soundtrack and would not recommend it to anyone looking for a captivating and memorable musical experience.
2. Sarah Smith - 2 stars
The Pagan Peak soundtrack did not live up to my expectations. While I understand that the show has a dark and ominous theme, the music felt excessively gloomy and repetitive. There was a lack of diversity in the tracks, with a constant barrage of low and brooding tones that failed to evoke any emotional response from me. I was hoping for a more dynamic and engaging soundtrack that would enhance the viewing experience, but unfortunately, this soundtrack fell flat for me.
3. Emily Johnson - 2 stars
I was quite disappointed with the Pagan Peak soundtrack. It lacked the intensity and depth I was expecting for a crime thriller series like this. The tracks seemed to lack cohesion and often felt disjointed. It was difficult to connect with the music, which to me, is an essential aspect of any good soundtrack. Overall, the Pagan Peak soundtrack left me underwhelmed and failed to enhance my viewing experience.
4. Alex Thompson - 1 star
The Pagan Peak soundtrack was a complete letdown for me. The music felt unoriginal, and I couldn't shake the feeling that I had heard the same type of score in countless other crime dramas. It lacked innovation and failed to bring anything unique and memorable to the table. While some may argue that the soundtrack matched the show's atmosphere, I found it to be cliché and uninspiring. Overall, I would not recommend the Pagan Peak soundtrack to fans of immersive and captivating soundtracks.
5. Chloe Miller - 2 stars
The Pagan Peak soundtrack failed to make an impact on me. The music lacked a sense of urgency and tension, which I believe are crucial elements in a crime thriller series. It felt like background noise rather than a powerful and engaging soundtrack. There were a few moments that had potential, but overall, I found it to be quite forgettable. If you're a fan of memorable and impactful soundtracks, the Pagan Peak soundtrack may leave you disappointed.
