Ancient Song 06:29
Notice the old ancient ways are calling Sailing the wind as they roam Remember your roots as the leaves are falling Finding the way back home Open your heart as the wisdoms' soaring Carried on ravens wings Honor the fear while your truth is growing Find it in everything Fall in love and love again and Hold your ground as we begin to Understand the dream within. That love is all we need Find a place where hope exists and Listen carefully to this, your Heart is pure and love persists Within there lies a seed All for one and one for all and As they say we are the world We are the hope, the light, the love That we've been waiting for Shout it high, let spirit know Our faith is strong, our love will grow We are the truth and so it goes We found the light, within the Ancient song Cherish the sound of the world around you Honor its sacred dance Learn from the trees and the bees, and flowers Nested within their trance Savor the sky where the eagles' flying Circling in the night Sing to the moon under silver linings Blossoming in her light Fall in love and love again and Hold your ground as we begin to Understand the dream within. That love is all we need Find a place where hope exists and Listen carefully to this, your Heart is pure and love persists Within there lies a seed All for one and one for all and As they say we are the world We are the hope, the light, the love That we've been waiting for Shout it high, let spirit know Our faith is strong, our love will grow We are the truth and so it goes We found the light, within the Ancient song

about

Mazatl’s Gather Round are songs that celebrate the soul, and our journey back into sacred reverence and remembering. Imbued with the playful quality of wisdom, and melodic rhythms so infectious you’ll want to sing along!

MAZATL – [ syll. ma-zat(l), maz-a-tl ] Mazatl is pronounced as MAHZEYTL. Mazatl is derived from Aztec-Nahuatl origins. The name’s meaning is deer.

By the beginning of 2015, the deer spirit had been walking with me for almost four years. Literally. I carried around a little plastic deer that my good friend had gifted me. The small toy deer was with me when I traveled down to Teotihuacan Mexico that spring for a soul journey amidst the ancient pyramid sites. On the last night of our trip, we were entertained by a group of indigenous men from the Nahuatl tribe. Four of us were chosen to receive names from the diviner. As I walked up to this weathered man I wondered what he would name me. In less than 5 seconds he said “Mazatl.” Of course, I had never heard the word before so we quickly asked, “What does that mean?”. He replied, “Dignified and honorable deer.”

When I began creating sacred music, I found it only fitting to name the project MAZATL in honor of the deer spirit who has been walking with me and guiding me. The music on this album is a reflection of a deep and profound spiritual walk. Through indigenous ceremonial practices, I’ve come to know the musician that I’ve always longed to be. I consider this music a gift, a sacred message of love and beauty for all of us to enjoy. The lyrics speak of the soul, of community, of the sacredness of all things, of celebration, and most importantly of love. I’m honored to share the reflections and the spirit of these sacred songs.
