  Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album

  A "6x6” six panel deluxe gatefold CD
  featuring a smoked dark matte brown foil stamping!​​​
  
  The debut full length journey from Cedar Spirits features a
  collaborative offering from two Pacific Northwestern ritual folk
  artists, known to the community as novemthree and
  Cycle of the Raven Talons.
  
  From the opening invocation; “Oh spirit Sun, guide
  and protect us. Oh spirit Rain, cleanse and inform
  us. Oh spirit Earth, nurture and feed us. In this
  life, I start anew....”
  
  Through this organic and purely acoustic presence,
  It becomes self evident the Cedar Spirits express a
  growth of spirit, light of life within a deeply respectful
  musical craft. A craft focusing a humble, apologetic
  nature through a richly intent filled medicinal musical.
  An honoring of the Mother through every note and
  every word.
  
  A collective practice, a declaration of vows through
  important, careful stewardship and human well being
  towards a bio-region in need of love, strength, respectful
  participation and vital protection!
  
  “To the keeper of the woods, under moonlight
  stood, deep within your earthen womb....
  please forgive us.”

  ​ "Such an achievement is all too rare, and speaks to both the artistic brilliance and the spiritual courage of its creators. There is more of both darkness and light in a second of this music than in many musicians’ entire discographies. Its ultimately positive spirit – not of denying darkness, but of accepting it and therefore allowing it to grow into something more – is a healing balm.​
  
  ​Anyone who is interested in underground/post-industrial/neo-folk music needs to own this release. No – anyone who is interested in music at all needs to own this release. No…anyone with the slightest spark of spirit in their breast needs to own this release. It could just change your life."
  
  ​----HEATHEN HARVEST​
  
  "The sounds of the Cedar Spirits are elemental, drenched by rain, warmed by the sun, in deep connection with the woodland soil.
  
  ​​There’s a lovely, distinctly modern pagan feeling in Cedar Spirits, one that leans less on man-made tradition, and more on a direct communion with the environment, channeled through a uniquely American musicality that combines influences foreign and native. It is perhaps precisely what you’d expect to hear from these artists, fated to work together at some point, but that doesn’t make it any less impressive. Possibly the best bit of wyrd witchery you’ll hear this year."​​
