\u201cCELIA\u201d<\/strong> \u201cI\u2019ve been entangled in your soul Once I heard the above words I kept singing them over and over again back in September of 2003, I can remember as if it were yesterday and for me that is a miracle.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 My husband had been deployed for some time by then and the words were so fitting as I was so angry still trying to get over the events of 9\/11 and at the fact that he had to be deployed while I was healing and my feelings were just so mix wired.\u00a0\u00a0 The name of this song is Trees Breathe.<\/a><\/p>\n Once things finally got through my very thick head, and I really took time to listen to the entire song I got back to my roots and grounded with the oak tree outside my house and center and then was able to let go and be free and again breathe and trust in what will be.\u00a0 That is the magick in Celia\u2019s music.<\/p>\n Celia has a gift and a magical touch with every song she produces.\u00a0 I have listened to 5 albums, and within that group there is the CD Breathe<\/a> recorded after the 9\/11 disaster and released in August 2003.\u00a0 This album was completed with lots of love, warmth, energy and spirit.\u00a0 It is vitalizing and all about re-energizing you life.\u00a0 Her sultry voice seeps deep into your soul soothing the anguish, the hurt, the pain and encourages the light, the warmth of the moon and energy of your \u201cself\u201d to rise up and breathe once again.<\/p>\n When Celia released this album she did so with all original songs in hopes of touching the world after all the pain it had endured.\u00a0 I don\u2019t say this often but being one of those that survived 9\/11 in NYC the album \u201cBreathe\u201c does exactly that.\u00a0 For those of you not familiar with Celia and her music you have truly been missing out on one of most talented performers the Goddess has created.\u00a0 \u201cBreathe\u201d – enjoy it while on a country ride or just sitting by the fireplace with a glass of wine or great cup of tea on a quiet evening.<\/p>\n Celia\u2019s current CD release Red Alabaster & Blue, is turning heads everywhere she goes and doesn\u2019t go for that matter.\u00a0 When I first heard the album I cried.\u00a0 Being a pagan military spouse the first song that yanked at my heart strings, is her song Symbol<\/a>.<\/p>\n This song was written when Celia heard about the fight with VA Affairs office by SGT. Patrick Stewart (a Wiccan Soldier) who was killed in action while in Iraq being denied his Pentacle as his emblem of belief on his grave marker.\u00a0 Celia being stunned as the rest of the Pagan world wanted to show her support and thus \u201cSymbol\u201d was born.\u00a0 It has sense been named the Anthem for the Pentacle Quest by Rev Selena Fox of Circle Sanctuary.<\/p>\n This particular verses is my favorite:<\/p>\n \u201cWell he served as any other with his hands and with his heart. We have several pagan soldiers deployed today who need your support The albums<\/a>\u2019 title song Red Alabaster & Blue<\/a> is a perfect example of not only her vocal talent, and writing talent but also reaches out and touches every single American individually with its strength and energy. It is what America is all about and yet it tells you what is also all wrong with America.<\/p>\n Celia is a storyteller and tells a story with each and every song she creates.\u00a0 With some music you listen to you get a beat and there are words and sometimes you get the opportunity to understand them.\u00a0 At least I do.\u00a0 With Celia, she doesn\u2019t leave you asking yourself what the meaning of the song was.\u00a0 If there is message to be given you\u2019ll get the message.\u00a0 If there\u2019s a story you hear it and if it is just meant to just put a smile on your face you will have that smile when the song is over.\u00a0 If you think I am kidding email her and ask her about the Marshmallow Dragon song.\u00a0 The composition of her work is exquisite, and you feel a kick from her Celtic Roots.<\/p>\n The song Quan Yin<\/a> tells the story of young children stripped from the only adopted arms they knew since birth to be given back to the birth parents because they changed their mind and decided they wanted to play mommy or daddy again.\u00a0 Quan Yin is the Goddess that protects all children. Last month was the 7th mourning year of 9\/11.\u00a0 Being a survivor I feel it only right to honor the song which Celia was inspired to write to help heal the millions affected on that day. All that needs to be said about this song is take the time out of your busy schedule to listen to it enjoy the Lambeg Drums.\u00a0 Your heart will race with the tempo and for once you will sing and dance and smile. Thank you Celia for making me smile.<\/p>\n![\"interview-celia-5\"](\"https:\/\/paganpages.org\/emagazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/09\/interview-celia-5.jpg\")

\nTo quote a song from her current smash album, \u201cshe has alabaster skin, red hair and blue eyes\u201d, and a lusty sultry voice that has been compared to Enya for this day and age and for one of the great female singers that I loved so much MS June Carter.\u00a0\u00a0 Celia also has the comic talents often compared to those of Gilda Radner.

\nFrom the moment that we met
\nI can\u2019t breathe to forgive
\nI\u2019m suffocated to forget\u201d<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
\nHe prayed to Father Sky, bowed Down to Mother Earth.
\nHe honored Air and Water and the Fire he danced around.
\nBut you didn’t honor him before you put him in the Ground.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nI applaud Celia for this writing and releasing this song in SGT Patrick\u2019s honor for all the many other ways she supports the pagan military soldiers. You can take every one of Celia songs and in some way it is going to touch some part of your life.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
