Sharing the Gift of Earth-as-Home

Special signed Faerie Folk albums available this Yule - Only 31 copies left!

I figured no one would jump on the offer the very first day.

That’s because my plan of promoting it, at least as far as I understand, is based on articulating me and Faerie Folk’s purpose and mission. Making it as clear as I possibly can why supporting us in that mission will help fulfill, in an ongoing way, one of your own basic needs as a peace-loving person in the times that we live.

I figured it would take a few days at least to build up that understanding through a few newsletters, videos, and musical numbers.

However, 2 people already became Chromatic Library Keyholders and will now receive their special signed copy of Faerie Folk’s debut album!

2 is a pretty small number, however those 2 people are both full-blown human beings, each with their own entire unique life story, set of values and motivations, and relationship to me and my music.

So considering that, I’m overjoyed at the number 2 for day one of this Yuletide offer I’ve set up!

But what exactly is the offer, again?

Sure, you pay me $5 and I send you a 33-of-a-kind item that’s normally worth $20+

A fine Holiday deal in and of itself. For you anyway ;) For me I’m just losing money and giving away my carefully crafted merchandise!

However here’s the actual offer. The meaning behind the transaction:

I offer you an item of deep significance. A musical album that contains a fairly simple yet potent expression of my quest as a musician and as a human being in this lifetime:

To cultivate closeness with Mother Earth through devotion to organic musical excellence. Organic musical excellence meaning:

Music that is 100% played by hand. No looping pedals, no arpeggiators, no samples.

Music that is made with Mother Earth and her healing at the fore and the core.

Music that is so finely crafted through devoted study and practice of the art, that it can contain deep meaning, love, and ecstasy, changing and growing with each listen and with each season of our lives.

Because you understand this to be what I am devoting my life to, and what I have given you a rare-print example of with your signed copy of Faerie Folk’s debut, you will offer me and my music your continued support on Patreon.

In other words,

You will ride out with me when I call for aid.

Your house will stand firm with me as I continue to give everything I have and everything I gain to this quest.

Because you know that one of the fundamental troubles of our time; indeed one of your own fundamental struggles;

Is to feel and to be close to and in harmony with Mother Earth.

Our culture and society has torn us violently from this harmony and closeness.

If you are reading this, I suspect you are working on your own way of healing that tear.

My music, the fruit of my labor, is my aid to you in your work, your healing, and your life.

This Yuletide offer is an ask for you to offer me some small, but consistent, amount of the fruits of your own labor, so that our efforts might be multiplied.

This offer is about our banding together in belief.

Belief in the healing of our lands.

Belief in the healing of our people.

Belief in the healing of our Mother, and our relationship with her.

That’s what this is all about to me. That’s why I need your help, and extend to you this offer.

So I can get this message, and its inspirational delivery through music, out into the world and deep into the hearts of many.

Ride out with me.
