@Armador In the Southern part of the Russian Federation. Between the Black Sea and the Sea of Caspian. The song miss Loreena is singing about is dedicated to the brutal and humiliating for Russia the policy of sure genocide of the Circassian tribesmen which led to the savage and crud occupation of their lawful territory and the territories of other Caucasus lands. For your kind information.
google translate is great - the Polish comment below says:
I really like the songs that "move" me to another world, that for which the soul yearns so much, although I do not know what she looks like. Just for me ... well.
Bardzo lubię utwory, które "przenoszą" mnie do innego świata, tego za którym dusza tak bardzo tęskni, chociaż nie wiem, jak on wygląda. Po prostu jest mi... dobrze.
Just discovered this ethereal beauty ...I have no words to describe this masterpiece....It just transported me to heaven... Now I know what heaven really sounds like =)
Wow this is stunning! My husband was watching the movie Solider, with Kurt Russell and this song's in it and we decided to try and find the song...and hey presto! Never heard of this woman before but will be buying some of her music for sure!
Shes a beautiful singer,and chiddy55 calling women what you did is so wrong,it's women who put people here by giving birth. Yeah God put man here first, but if it wasnt for women you wouldnt be here.You should treat all women with love and respect! Dont be cruel not cool! Smiles Always
Hermosas melodías, he leído algunos comentarios acerca de Dios y Jesucristo, y creo que la verdad está en la Biblia, toda la verdad, tienen que leerla toda, no una parte, toda y pedirle a Dios comprenderla.
Dios pide amarlo sólo a Él, a ningún otro dios, y amar a los demás más que a uno mismo. Sólo se puede llegar a Dios por medio de Jesucristo.
Oddly enough, I first came across this song in the movie "Soldier", and just worked so well as a stunning counter point to the violence that book ends the entire movie. And now today I listen to it whilst writing or relaxing.
Love this song. My dad used to listen the shit out of it. It's got this kind of melancholic, eerie quality about it that reminds me of a ghost story I used to hear about as a kid.
take the 12 disciples,for instance...thats a clear reference to the 12 gods of olympus..or the halo around the saint' heads...influenced by the egyptian sun disc around the the phataohs' heads...and so much more...

@jgreen913 Well, it may feel like doing Caucasus on the horseback but the music doesn't smash your balls against the saddle pommel every second move. Loreena's not that painful, that's why I love'er music.

The thing is people can tell you your going to hell because you don't go to church but that doesn't make it so. But it does say in the Bible those who judge others shall be judged, the lord loves his time with you just make time for him thats convinient for the both of you.
The church is there to support the masses, but the translation is up to us all. To me there is the masses, the ignorant, and the meek. Each at their own stage of progression and each serve their own end within the community.
I can feel myself on the steed. The night is long, yet repleate with every star God ever concieved. The air is cool to my face and I feel te temptation to stop and take it in, but must ride on..through the night...
couldn't agree more - Christian and pagan beliefs are not so different from each other. Both are as beautiful as they are because they have influenced and been influenced by each other.
I may get some "hate" mail for this, but the majority of Christian holidays and holy days are based on ancient pagan beliefs. Is there a law that says you must be one or the other? I know quite a few people who have combined their pagan beliefs with their Christian beliefs and the only people who seem to have a problem with it are the religious right fanatics who believe that I am going to hell because I don't go to church every time the door is open. It's nice to hear both beliefs combined.
@RabitHead you know when the Christians came to the celtic lands to convert the pagans to christianity, the celts did convert to some degree. they still kept thier pagan beliefs. Just look at the celtic cross. The circle is a symbol of the pagan Sun God. The cross is the christian symbol. So both religions combined. true story about the celtic cross.
@RabitHead "cauldron and cross" heh.. I like it. Christian belief does have some very good values, for interaction between humans, and pagan religions teach about the bond with nature.
@RabitHead Dont be such an uneducated moron. Scripture is very clear and does not mince words. Christ is the only way to salvation. no ifs, ands or but's. Stop trying to have your cake and eat it too. If you want to be a pagan then be one. If you want to be a Christian than be one. But dont try to combine the two because they are not compatible in any way.
@naemasufi Mithras? What the hell does that have anything to do with what I am talking about?? Do not try and connect Jesus and Mithras because I will DESTROY your argument. That is a typical accusation from illiterate baboons who do not know the first thing about Christianity or Judaism.
@AegeanKing Hey, genius...where did you get that idea? Christianity takes so many cues from paganism that it's innumberable....You actually can't separate the two.
@FutaSarah5000 - Yea Christianity did not develop in a vacuum. But this doesn't mean that everything is cultural (or Pagan as you use it). God, Jesus Christ, salvation for all through faith, are universal elements, that much of your paganism denies.
@FutaSarah5000 Christmas?? What about it? Celebrating the Birth of the messiah is not Christian?? No, you have not said enough to justify your absurd claims. Are you referencing the date?? ill have you have know that Eastern Orthodox Christians who number almost 500 million celebrate Christmas on January 6th. And please do not bring up Easter because I will destroy your argument.
@AegeanKing Dude fuck off, I'm not here for a troll war, or to argue with you about religion. I just stated what I think, and besides that I'm here for the amazing music. You wanna be Professor Troll, go someplace else.
@FutaSarah5000 Fuck off? You responded to my message first motherfucker. Dont throw a fucking hissy fit just because you cant back up your absurd accusations. If anybody is a troll its you with your provocative bombastic statements. I suggest you quit drinking the secular kool-aide and actually read the real history of Christianity instead of regurgitating shit you read on the internet. Good day.
@AegeanKing Ugh...just email me futahappy@yahoo.com if you wanna keep going. I'm only here for the beautiful music, and I really don't feel like trying to listen to a man state facts on face value when all he's really trying to do is troll me.
@AegeanKing Christmas is not originally a christian holiday. Ever heard of winter solstice ? Some food of thought from wikipedia about winter solstice: "Worldwide, interpretation of the event has varied from culture to culture, but most cultures have held a recognition of rebirth, involving holidays, festivals, gatherings, rituals or other celebrations around that time." and "In 46 BCE, Julius Caesar in his Julian calendar established December 25 as the date of the winter solstice of Europe "
@RistoReipas88 You are completely missing the point. It is completely natural that people who adopt a new religion, replace one celebration with another. The idea of celebrating the Birth of Christ IS a Christian idea. Also, Christians have not always celebrated the date on December 25th. Eastern Orthodox Christians who number almost 500 million celebrate Christmas on January 6th. So, your statement only applies to Christianity in western Europe.
@RabitHead I could fill up a few messages just talking about early Christianity because studying history is one of my interests. But let's just sum it up to this: It's true that SOME of the Christian holidays were originally planned to fall on the same date as a few of the original pagan feast days. This wasn't done in malice though, back in the beginnings of Christianity they were also trying to blend a little with the already established religions in an attempt for unity. :)
@RabitHead You are absolutely right.Religion is a part of culture and all our cultures are combined and mixed nowadays.From the Greek civilization to the Celtic tradition we have combined our beliefs and definately the world as we know it today wouldnt exist without them.
@RabitHead Well you should know that PAGANS based their belief's on Christ Himself so as to hijack us all.regardless of general ignorance due to subversion and deception,and Jesus said follow Him and no men so you seriously have mishandled Christianity and truth period and do so with a predisposed perception of hate mail which makes one wonder why and still regardless you are so wrong that you you should find trouble explaing things like the tree and candles and windows and such,Be Loved <3
@aesthetictripp Paganism has been around long before Christ, and yes it would seem so that many things in the christian religion have been adopted from else where. You are using the word pagan like they all follow the same believes "PAGANS based their belief's on Christ Himself ". You my friend "seriously have mishandled" paganism.
@SolvingLife You can link all paganism to Lucifer,so yeah they do have a common thread,not every Christian is ignorant regarding occult knowledge and Jesus,who is God btw and Love Himself,was in existence and known of before the world began,at best you can tie yourself only back to the flood which is well answered as In Noah's ark is optimal in design alone,vs the Gilgamesh twist which wouldn't even float,even quantum physics prove that God made Light first before even the sun.
@aesthetictripp , we are all divine , Christ said so, he was as human as we are , only enlightened and he lived a life as we all should . Religion is an hypocrisy, the proof is all around us . There is no difference between a Muslim Jihadist or a Christian fundamentalist who agrees with/condones the death penalty. Think outside the box, accept what we have accomplished in Cosmology and the great Prophets words , we are all one ! Love Thy Neighbor.
@sergiomsd We are not all divine,your sin in fact....along with the fact you have sinned,at least once proves you severely wrong. Christianity is a relationship,not a religion. I've been a person out side the box my entire life,and no....we are not all one in every way,Love they Neighbor is true,and the Love of God is serious Love, love condoning every sin out there,only condemning that sin,not people btw.God is paradoxical and Jesus was God in the Flesh,not just a plain man,and men aren't God.
@SolvingLife Christ is a reincarnation on repeat, like he even dies the same way in each life. He's been around since before egypt had pyramids. Its amazing how when he got the name Christ, we all took him for granted. And when he is reborn into chaos, he will be crucified again. It seems like he's a walking cursed soul looking to get rid of his curse. I bet that Paganism is belief of Christ before he got that name
@RabitHead You are totally right - and it's more than just some holidays that are Pagan based - I'll just leave it at that. But I am someone that isn't afraid of the truth.
@RabitHead Jesus doesn't submit to the worlds ways,but Loves us,and isn't the ''church'' btw, understanding is key,not compromise,even the Gentiles who do the law by nature show it written on their hearts,and of it is not bowing down to false ''gods''God is Love and not hippie love,genuine Love which transcends and saves and hates sin while extending Grace midst the places of the faces of dismay,trumping self centerdness and ' the we are all one campaign,sovereign and true.
first of all point in Christianity isnt going to church my friend. IT IS HOW YOU LIVE YOUR LIFE- pagan ideas are similiar to Christian ideas if you think about it. Im one of ppl who often go to Church and i can say for myself that im religious man. And i dont think you will go to hell if you live your life properly even if you dont believe in Jesus and God. Thats all folks :D
I am a Greek Christian orthodox from Greece and yes most the Greek Christian orthodox holidays are based on ancient Greek holidays or traditions.This expands to almost all Christian Orthodox Churches because most of them are following the Greek Orthodox "protocol".
I am a Greek Christian orthodox and yes most the Greek Christian orthodox holidays are based on ancient Greek holidays or traditions.This expands to almost all Christian Orthodox Churches because most of them are following the Greek Orthodox "protocol".
@RabitHead The problem is that both beliefs (Christianity and Paganism) are not mutually exclusive. And you are correct that a few Christian holidays are “corrupted” Pagan high days, most surrounding fertility or harvest celebrations, Easter being the biggest one, originally a day mint for the fertility celebration of Eostre, Goddess of the Dawn, where which rabbits, eggs, flowers, and other paralleling Easter staples.
@mageweave Christianity (I mean real Christianity based on its foundation: The Bible) and Paganism ARE mutually exclusive, the whole Bible says about it. True, some "Christian" holidays are based on ancient pagan beliefs and conservative christians don't celebrate them. Jesus knew no compromises, He also said He is the ONLY way and the truth... Nevertheless, let's not talk abot it here, let's just listen to this wonderful song... I can'f find words to describe its beauty...
@naukrarosek The Bible (and therefore the foundation of Christianity) was not written by Jesus or by God. It was written by men, all of whom had their own perceptions of their belief and interpretations of what Jesus might or might not have said. I personally believe God is much more considerate. He gave us freedom of choice, after all, and all religions are just variations of each other.
Anyway, beautiful song, beautiful imagery. Loreena is amazing~<3
@OokamiByakuya Of course that Bible was written by human beings, but the ones inspired by God, there are lots of proofs for that. As for their alleged 'perception and interpretation of what Jesus might or might not have said'... well, you seem not to know anything about when and in what circumstances the Bible was written , and they prove that Bible depicts what Jesus really said and did. Dan Brown and his likes know nothing on history and Jewish culture. Anyway, Loreena has an angelic voice:D
@naukrarosek LOL, trust me, I don't use Brown as a reference. I am not claiming some parts of the Bible aren't fact, simply that even humans inspired by God tend to twist things, deliberately or otherwise, to suit their own values and beliefs. Humans are imperfect. We are not Gods, therefore we cannot know what He would want. That is why my belief in God and Jesus is not based on the Bible, on the words of man. The Bible preaches nothing but hypocrisy and wanton bloodshed.
I am serious curious with all the mystic vibes in her music reportoire, does anyone out there know for certain if she is pagan? If so, post some sort of proof.
@FutaSarah5000 - yea its new age pagan stuff. Gnosticism (new age) is known throughout all of history for attaching itself to religions and using their imagery for its own purposes.
@FutaSarah5000 please give me your ridiculous arguments so I can destroy them with facts. Im just waiting for it. I surely hope you dont use lame arguments about the dates for Christmas or easter because those are easily refutable. I am hoping that your arguments have something more substantive than that.

The church is there to support the masses, but the translation is up to us all. To me there is the masses, the ignorant, and the meek. Each at their own stage of progression and each serve their own end within the community.

I may get some "hate" mail for this, but the majority of Christian holidays and holy days are based on ancient pagan beliefs. Is there a law that says you must be one or the other? I know quite a few people who have combined their pagan beliefs with their Christian beliefs and the only people who seem to have a problem with it are the religious right fanatics who believe that I am going to hell because I don't go to church every time the door is open. It's nice to hear both beliefs combined.
RabitHead 1 year ago 98
@RabitHead you know when the Christians came to the celtic lands to convert the pagans to christianity, the celts did convert to some degree. they still kept thier pagan beliefs. Just look at the celtic cross. The circle is a symbol of the pagan Sun God. The cross is the christian symbol. So both religions combined. true story about the celtic cross.

@RabitHead "cauldron and cross" heh.. I like it. Christian belief does have some very good values, for interaction between humans, and pagan religions teach about the bond with nature.

@RabitHead Dont be such an uneducated moron. Scripture is very clear and does not mince words. Christ is the only way to salvation. no ifs, ands or but's. Stop trying to have your cake and eat it too. If you want to be a pagan then be one. If you want to be a Christian than be one. But dont try to combine the two because they are not compatible in any way.

@AegeanKing Christmas is not originally a christian holiday. Ever heard of winter solstice ? Some food of thought from wikipedia about winter solstice: "Worldwide, interpretation of the event has varied from culture to culture, but most cultures have held a recognition of rebirth, involving holidays, festivals, gatherings, rituals or other celebrations around that time." and "In 46 BCE, Julius Caesar in his Julian calendar established December 25 as the date of the winter solstice of Europe "
RistoReipas88 1 year ago
@RistoReipas88 You are completely missing the point. It is completely natural that people who adopt a new religion, replace one celebration with another. The idea of celebrating the Birth of Christ IS a Christian idea. Also, Christians have not always celebrated the date on December 25th. Eastern Orthodox Christians who number almost 500 million celebrate Christmas on January 6th. So, your statement only applies to Christianity in western Europe.
AegeanKing 1 year ago
@RabitHead I could fill up a few messages just talking about early Christianity because studying history is one of my interests. But let's just sum it up to this: It's true that SOME of the Christian holidays were originally planned to fall on the same date as a few of the original pagan feast days. This wasn't done in malice though, back in the beginnings of Christianity they were also trying to blend a little with the already established religions in an attempt for unity. :)

@aesthetictripp Paganism has been around long before Christ, and yes it would seem so that many things in the christian religion have been adopted from else where.

@SolvingLife You can link all paganism to Lucifer,so yeah they do have a common thread,not every Christian is ignorant regarding occult knowledge and Jesus,who is God btw and Love Himself,was in existence and known of before the world began,at best you can tie yourself only back to the flood which is well answered as In Noah's ark is optimal in design alone,vs the Gilgamesh twist which wouldn't even float,even quantum physics prove that God made Light first before even the sun.

@aesthetictripp , we are all divine , Christ said so, he was as human as we are , only enlightened and he lived a life as we all should . Religion is an hypocrisy, the proof is all around us . There is no difference between a Muslim Jihadist or a Christian fundamentalist who agrees with/condones the death penalty. Think outside the box, accept what we have accomplished in Cosmology and the great Prophets words , we are all one ! Love Thy Neighbor.

@sergiomsd We are not all divine,your sin in fact....along with the fact you have sinned,at least once proves you severely wrong. Christianity is a relationship,not a religion. I've been a person out side the box my entire life,and no....we are not all one in every way,Love they Neighbor is true,and the Love of God is serious Love, love condoning every sin out there,only condemning that sin,not people btw.God is paradoxical and Jesus was God in the Flesh,not just a plain man,and men aren't God.

@SolvingLife Christ is a reincarnation on repeat, like he even dies the same way in each life. He's been around since before egypt had pyramids. Its amazing how when he got the name Christ, we all took him for granted. And when he is reborn into chaos, he will be crucified again. It seems like he's a walking cursed soul looking to get rid of his curse. I bet that Paganism is belief of Christ before he got that name

first of all point in Christianity isnt going to church my friend. IT IS HOW YOU LIVE YOUR LIFE- pagan ideas are similiar to Christian ideas if you think about it. Im one of ppl who often go to Church and i can say for myself that im religious man. And i dont think you will go to hell if you live your life properly even if you dont believe in Jesus and God. Thats all folks :D

@RabitHead The problem is that both beliefs (Christianity and Paganism) are not mutually exclusive. And you are correct that a few Christian holidays are “corrupted” Pagan high days, most surrounding fertility or harvest celebrations, Easter being the biggest one, originally a day mint for the fertility celebration of Eostre, Goddess of the Dawn, where which rabbits, eggs, flowers, and other paralleling Easter staples.
mageweave 9 months ago
@mageweave Christianity (I mean real Christianity based on its foundation: The Bible) and Paganism ARE mutually exclusive, the whole Bible says about it. True, some "Christian" holidays are based on ancient pagan beliefs and conservative christians don't celebrate them. Jesus knew no compromises, He also said He is the ONLY way and the truth... Nevertheless, let's not talk abot it here, let's just listen to this wonderful song... I can'f find words to describe its beauty...
naukrarosek 8 months ago
@naukrarosek The Bible (and therefore the foundation of Christianity) was not written by Jesus or by God. It was written by men, all of whom had their own perceptions of their belief and interpretations of what Jesus might or might not have said. I personally believe God is much more considerate. He gave us freedom of choice, after all, and all religions are just variations of each other.
Anyway, beautiful song, beautiful imagery. Loreena is amazing~<3
OokamiByakuya 8 months ago
@OokamiByakuya Of course that Bible was written by human beings, but the ones inspired by God, there are lots of proofs for that. As for their alleged 'perception and interpretation of what Jesus might or might not have said'... well, you seem not to know anything about when and in what circumstances the Bible was written , and they prove that Bible depicts what Jesus really said and did. Dan Brown and his likes know nothing on history and Jewish culture. Anyway, Loreena has an angelic voice:D
naukrarosek 8 months ago
@naukrarosek LOL, trust me, I don't use Brown as a reference. I am not claiming some parts of the Bible aren't fact, simply that even humans inspired by God tend to twist things, deliberately or otherwise, to suit their own values and beliefs. Humans are imperfect. We are not Gods, therefore we cannot know what He would want. That is why my belief in God and Jesus is not based on the Bible, on the words of man. The Bible preaches nothing but hypocrisy and wanton bloodshed.
Yes, she does. ;)
