Feri witch, siren, songstress, storyteller and babe are all ways to descibe the lovely Sharon Knight. A singer-songwriter for over a decade as both a solo act and the rock fusion band Pandemonaeon based out of San Francisco, Sharon Knight has been gracing audiences with her shadowy voice and poetic songwriting reminding one of classic poets like Yeats and Tennyson.
Incantation is Sharon’s first album released in 1996 and is a well-known classic in the Neopagan community for its lyrical songwriting of myth and magic transporting listeners to ancient groves of oak trees under a full moon’s light. Full of songs of gods, goddesses, spells and curses, Incantation is timeless as Celtic-influenced Pagan folk music. Sharon’s musical style, instruments, and songwriting remind me of the bards of old travelling from village to village with tales on their silver tongues. Songs that make this witch’s heart soar from this album include “Mother of the World”, “Lord Fenugreek”, “Bewitched”, and “13 Knots”.
All of Sharon Knight’s albums are still available for purchase from both CD Baby or iTunes as the full album or individual MP3’s – to purchase Incantation see Sharon’s Store.
