 1:00 SPECIAL GUEST
​Wendy Rule

Since the release of her first album, Zero, in 1996, Visionary songstress Wendy Rule has drawn on her deep love of Nature, and her Pagan spiritual path of Witchcraft, to create otherworldly albums anchored in myth and Magic. With an extensive catalogue of songs honouring ancient goddesses such as Hecate, Persephone, and Artemis, Wendy's music continues to be used in countless rituals and ceremonies throughout the world.
Originally from Melbourne, Australia, Wendy now lives in the beautiful countryside of Northern New Mexico, where she has daily access to the wilderness that inspires and nourishes her work.

2024 Album: MEADOWLARK
An ode to her spiritual and emotional connection to Meadowlark, her home in the New Mexico countryside, this gorgeous collection of songs highlights Wendy’s uniquely
beautiful voice and tender lyrics to create dreamy, folk-driven soundscapes, with a
sprinkling of her trademark gothic ambience.

LATEST ALBUM 2025:
Meditations on Darkness & Light
A DOUBLE ALBUM OF DARK AMBIENT RITUAL MUSIC
Meditations on Darkness and Light is an ambient trance journey through Nature's daily cycle of Darkness and Light, and is a perfect accompaniment for ritual, meditation, sleep, and relaxation. A soothing balm for troubled times.
Wendy's voice - both spoken and sung - floats over deep, resonant trance soundscapes to create a deeply soothing and magical sacred journey.
We begin with the cosmic darkness of VOID, and move through glittering STARLIGHT, to the gentle awakening of DAWN, the golden brightness of DAY, the soothing depths of SHADOW, the otherworldly liminal trance of TWILIGHT, and the gentle depths of NIGHT.
BONUS INSTRUMENTAL ALBUM!!!
