J. Meghan shows us more of her primal side on this ep. The pagan chants fit perfectly with the organic production and at times very tribal/primitive rhythms. A truer voice to nature and paganism you would be hard-pressed to find. Favorite track: Ahnunggokwan/Tahquemenon Falls.

"Yonder dwells the great Pearl-Feather, Megissogwon, the Magician, Manito of Wealth and Wampum, Guarded by his fiery serpents, Guarded by the black pitch-water. You can see his fiery serpents, The Kenabeek, the great serpents, Coiling, playing in the water; You can see the black pitch-water Stretching far away beyond them, To the purple clouds of sunset! "He it was who slew my father, By his wicked wiles and cunning, When he from the moon descended, When he came on earth to seek me. He, the mightiest of Magicians, Sends the fever from the marshes, Sends the pestilential vapors, Sends the poisonous exhalations, Sends the white fog from the fen-lands, Sends disease and death among us! "Take your bow, O Hiawatha, Take your arrows, jasper-headed, Take your war-club, Puggawaugun, And your mittens, Minjekahwun, And your birch-canoe for sailing, And the oil of Mishe-Nahma, So to smear its sides, that swiftly You may pass the black pitch-water; Slay this merciless magician, Save the people from the fever That he breathes across the fen-lands, And avenge my father's murder!" The Song of Hiawatha-Longfellow

Ahnunggokwan Tonight we send forth incantations Up to the Star World From which great myths unfold From ghosts and serpents that were foretold We sang it into being The forests sing murderous love songs Written by ax and knife History stained the ground in many dreams Where man transformed himself into beasts In the great thunderous water Visions came forth of a gathering Singing praises to the land and sky To which each would offer a sacrifice We spoke it into being
