This album is nothing less than FANTASTIC !!! In my 25 + years hosting an Irish/Celtic Radio Show here in Brockton Massachusetts, I have received so many great albums but it is so rare to receive one with such great original songs, outstanding arrangements and such a great voice to deliver the songs with such feeling. I would certainly nominate this album as 'Album Of The Year'.
It's music like this that makes me want to stay on the radio after all these years. Jim Larkin, WXBR Radio
This is a thoroughly enjoyable musical voyage. It is a mixture of hauntingly beautiful songs and the spoken word.
These are not “traditional” Celtic songs (i.e., ones which have composed part of the Celtic heritage for generations), but there are strongly Celtic-themed songs. They tell stories which seem comfortingly familiar, even though they are new. They call to a part of the psyche of which we are often reluctant to acknowledge, not because we fear it, but simply because it lives in the background of our daily life.
Jenna’s voice is well suited to these songs, as is the instrumental accompaniment. They blend into a unison which calls the listener to sit down, forget about daily concerns, and simply enjoy. Enjoyment for the sake of enjoyment is a lost art in today’s world, I fear, but a few more CDs like this may help to restore it. I know that producing music is a joy for the average musician (and putting out a CD can be a major pain). I am hoping that, for Jenna, the joy outweighs the pain. I sincerely hope that she receives enough encouragement to follow this CD up with more. I know that I am eagerly awaiting future releases.
Don’t get this CD just because it has a Celtic flair; don’t get it just because I am recommending it whole-heartedly. Get it because, once you take the time to put it into your CD player, you will find yourself losing track of time and forgetting about the rude people and lousy situations you have encountered.
I haven’t had the pleasure of hearing her in a live performance, but I hope to rectify that in the future.

The ancient Celts held a deep reverence for nature and sought oneness with the natural world.
Their magical lore and traditions of storytelling are the inspiration behind these original works of meditative myth.
"Her ethereal music is inspired by Celtic lore and nature myth. She believes both nature and music are powerful healers. Fused together, her music will take you on a journey to sacred groves, standing stones and places of beauty within yourself."

The following is a link to a website that graphically, (TAKE NOTE if you've a weak stomach), illustrates and provides facts about this totally inhumane practice by Faroe Islands Danes to mark their journey from teen to adult.
I am only one but still, I am one I cannot do everything but still, I can do something and because I cannot do everything I will not refuse to do the something that I can do.
Good Morning Jenna..hope you are all keeping well! Can't wait till the next Pagan Pride day so we can see you all and hear your beautiful voice once again! But you always have an invitation to come on down to Delaware any time you want! Have a great day and a wonderful week! Hugs and Blessings, Kathy
Hi Jenna I am pleased I found you. Such a sweet voice, it takes me back to Ireland. Wishing you continued success in all you do. Love, hope and laughter. Paul Saxton x
You cannot move forward from some idealized point in the future that has not yet arrived. If you are to move forward, you must do it from where you are now.
Start from where you are. Though it may not be perfect, it is plenty to get you going.
Make full use of what you already have. Wishing for more, or feeling resentment because you don't have more, will only waste your precious time.
There's no guarantee that your actions will be effective. Yet you are certain to not be effective if you take no action at all.
Open yourself to the fullness of your possibilities. Step positively forward using what you have, from where you are right now.
Gently and thankfully accept where you are. And tap into the unique richness that has always been yours.
“Between the heavens and the earth The way now opens to bring forth The Hosts of those who went on before; Hail! We see them now come through the Open Door.
Now the veils of worlds are thin; To move out you must move in. Let the Balefires now be made, Mine the spark within them laid.
Move beyond the fiery screen, Between the seen and the unseen; Shed your anger and your fear, Live anew in a new year!”
