🇩🇰 A 6/7,000 year old burial of a young woman, aged around 20 when she died, and her new born baby from Vedbaek, Denmark. By her head were 200 red deer teeth, and the baby was cradled in the wing of a swan with a flint knife at it’s hip. It’s believed that the pair died together during childbirth. @europeanvolk

Hiraeth - Some Kind of Lullaby

Thank you Arcane Accents for the gilded sunwheel/tursaansydän earrings. They are lovely!☀️

In Japan, the United States, Spain, and France, women who have kids are having more even as less women overall choose to have children. So, even as the fertility rate decreased in all of these countries, third order or higher births increased between 2000 and 2022.

Oh, do not tell the priest our plight, For he would call it a sin, But we've been out in the woods all night, a-conjuring summer in. We bring you good news by word of mouth, good news for cattle and corn, Sure as the sun come up from the south, by Oak, and Ash, and Thorn... ᛋ

This is the last demo I’ll be posting. Being a full time mom means that I won’t have time to create music for a good long while, and when I’m ready for that, it will be the start of a new project with a new name and I’m not sure what it will sound like or what that name will be. “Hiraeth” has been an incredible outlet for me over the years and I’m so grateful for the support I’ve gotten and the connections I’ve made with people in the process. But the truth is that there is a sense of homelessness that comes with the meaning of the word “Hiraeth” that I no longer wish to express or embody. After everything that’s happened, what’s most important to me now is to lay down a solid foundation for my daughter so that she has everything she needs in order to grow into the amazing person I know she already is. With that said, I will leave up my channels, but this will be the last post I make. Thank you all for listening to my music and showing me support. It means more than I can say. Following this demo, I’ll drop one last unreleased song from the album “Woven” which I feel will be appropriate for this end of an era.

This rough demo was recorded live with a tascam the first time I met Jeff in person. We were both fans of Elliott Smith so we decided to cover “The Biggest Lie” since Jeff already knew how to play it on guitar. After he passed, I have listened to this countless times. It brings smiles and tears to me every time.
