Thank you!

I understand that the lyrics to "The Witches' Reel" (the one in Scots) are taken from a witchcraft trial circa 1500s. The one in Irish is also quite old, I believe circa 1200s, although I need to double check (and add footnotes ;) ).

I would very much like to add more songs that are in other languages, and I hope to soon. I know of Faun and was hoping to add one or two of their songs. Also I believe there are some Scandanavian bands that would be great to include.

I'm absolutely open to suggestions. :)

Faun is so good! I just wish I knew German so I could appreciate them in the original.

It looks like Occitan. :D Exciting!

I know Wardruna is rather popular on the Scandanavian front, or at least among American Heathens, and that they sing in Old Norse. But I don't know if they write their own material or if it's from the Eddas.

Ideally, speakers more familiar with the languages could "vet" them for me and pick out the ones they like best. :) Otherwise I'm afraid I'd just end up adding the ones that I thought sounded pretty. ;)

Yes, I think I remember really liking one of Nadia's translations of Melnitsa, but I've forgotten which one it was. I'll have to hunt it down.

Thanks for the suggestions! The more the merrier!

You're more than welcome to include it on your own collection. The reason I didn't include it is because the only really pagan thing I notice about it is the two words "pagan poetry."

All of the other songs I've included either directly refer to pagan deities, pagan holidays, the practice of magic in a pagan context, or are by openly Pagan artists who have publicly discussed the influence of Pagan themes in their music.

Pagan Poetry has nothing to do with paganism :/

Oh i see lol! I understand. It's just that i saw the words "Pagan" and i thought it was all related to things with songs haha. sorry

No worries. It was a good opportunity for me to clarify. :)
