about

One of Jo’s ancestors, Issobel Young, suffered death by strangulation and burning after her husband accused her of "attempting to kill him with magic after quarrelling about an unsavoury house guest." Interestingly, this nugget of information was discovered only after Jo had written this song. Sometimes past spirits seem to beckon their descendants to reveal their stories.

lyrics

The Spell 

Before the Essenes, there were we. 
The gift came down from my Mother to me.    
A guardian I was of sound   
To sing the Earth into the clouds. 

Who will hold you when you sleep?
In the vale of death, your heart to keep?
Who will mend the ills you fall?
The healing balm remembers all. 

I could make my throat, like a butterfly. 
I could pierce the heart like an arrow in flame.
I’m earth and wind and fire and rain.

Yeah they were afraid of the folk like me 
A witch they said would burn at sea 
They were afraid of the folk like me

But the sea is my mother 
and she will carry me
from one life to another 

I keep coming back 

(The healers, the seers, the handlers of truth)
