Faery Song and Singing
The Lady of Song - The Heart of Faerie Oracle
Most people who haven't done a lot of singing, or at least not the trained kind, think singing is something that you do with your throat.
It isn't that at all. Singing requires the whole body. I try and explain that much like a guitar the sound comes from the belly, the notes come from your neck and you tune yourself with your pegs (your ears). Most everyone can sing given time, training and of course tuning.
Those who struggle do not do so because they haven't the strings (the throat) or the belly to make the sound. No only on the rare occasion when someone truly can't sing it is because they can not listen.
Listening is the skill required most to make pleasant and tuneful music. She says
"Listen! What is your soul really singing?"
When you can connect your soul with your voice, nothing short of magick happens. Music that revels that, really shows something is very different than most of the vapid junk out there. It isn't how perfect, or tuneful but how real it is that moves us.
There is something healing in song. Healing in allowing something so deep within us out. When we listen, and sing out our own song it changes the world.
The Singer of Initiation - The Faeries Oracle
I have written extensively about initiation* and this singer is the bringer of deeper secrets, hidden knowledge's and truer faith, what ever that might be. Yet you must surrender to it. Let go of the ego, let go and listen truly and deeply to your heart song. Listen to your soul song and if you can join your voice in chorus. Connect your song with those around you. It doesn't have to be their song, in fact it doesn't matter if it is totally different because it the harmonies that are important.

The Singer say
" Your soul will transform your life, or life will transform your soul."
Initiation is always a mixture of something we choose to do and something that is done to us and through us. Sometimes it hurts, because change even the best change can be painful. The doorways are open and now you must pass through. You must grow. You can not remain as you have been. You can not see and know without being changed.
