The Bard of Avalon
Singer
By conveying the innermost feelings through song, the singer enchants.

Plainsong, ballad, overtone chant, folksong. Each conveys a message, trivial or profound - of love, strength, wonder or mystery.

Harnessing the tones and shades of a sympathetic voice to keep alive the symbolism and beliefs of our ancestors, the singer may share legends, riddles, ceremony, birth and death.

For the bardic singer may use words and sounds to alter consciousness, to transport the listener to the Otherworld.

As words and music stir the imagination and move the heart, the singer and the listener become kindred spirits.
