Themis Music has a Purpose and a Message Themis in greek mythology means "law of nature" rather than "human ordinance". The goddess Themis presided over the proper relation between man and woman, the basis of the rightly ordered family. She stood for justice.
Pronounced like 'FAMOUS' with a "TH" instead of "F" Spelling: tau eta epsilon mu iota sigma.
Themis Mantra: Our singular goal is having a good time together; being happy; and sharing that happiness with you if that is your choosing. :o)
Themis Band Members: The Countess and Ruffian Angel are smiling, laughing, loving, vegan, Wiccans.
Themis Wiccans
A strong thread in the artistic work of Themis is the Wiccan love of life and nature. Lyrical references to the "Love of Life", the "Forest of Life", "the Honeyed Fountain", "the gentle caress of a warm summer breeze" focus on the Wiccan belief in nature's divinity.
Themis Music has drawn nature-loving Wiccans from all over the world (http://www.themismusic.com/).
Themis promotes unity among all peoples through the natural love for music among earth's peoples; and the common need to love earth and her fragility.
Themis promotes a Wiccan philosophy in songs and written texts/articles. Embedded in the Canadian duo's music and their published explanations of the Themis's musical inspirations is a clear adoption of Wiccan ecology and feminism.
There is no evil spirit (i.e.: like Satan) in Wicca. God-like images are regarded as myths. Nature is of itself is a nourishing Goddess espousing integration and oneness in a totality that has both synergy and entropy as its traits. The symbolism of Gaia as living Earth's natural oneness and integration is omni present in the spiritual thoughts of Wicca and the music of Themis.
Themis duo state on their website a creed of beliefs, including:
* . . . "The cycles of nature are our holy days: the earth is our temple, its plants and creatures our partners and teachers." and
* . . . "Females are respected as equal but have a slightly higher rank to males."
Themis Vegans
The term vegan was coined in 1944 when Elsie Shrigley and Donald Watson,
frustrated that the term "vegetarianism" had come to include the eating of dairy
products, founded the UK Vegan Society. They combined the first three and last
two letters of vegetarian to form "vegan," which they saw as "the beginning and
end of vegetarian".
Veganism is a way of living which excludes all forms of exploitation
or cruelty toward the animal kingdom and includes a significant reverence for
life as do we hemis Wiccans.
Humans are omnivores and as such have a choice of being herbivores,
carnivores or both. Themis Vegans choose to be herbivores. It's perfectly
healthy and natural.
Veganism applies to the practice of living on the products of the
plant kingdom to the exclusion of flesh, fish, fowl, eggs, honey[2], animal milk
and its derivatives (cheese etc.) and encourages the use of alternatives for all
commodities derived wholly or in part from animals.
[[2] Bees are exploited (starved) in the farming and harvesting of
honey. Their environment is heavily manipulated. Bees lose their lives in the
commercial honey industry, due to the way in which they are mishandled.
Themis Music
The spirit behind the music.
We
welcome the light, the shadow and all that lies between.
We
have a deep love and appreciation of life and find awe in watching the sunrise
or sunset; the forest of life in the light of a glowing moon; and a meadow
enchanted by the first light of day.
We
revere the morning dew on the petals of a beautiful flower; the gentle caress of
a warm summer breeze upon our skin; the warmth of the summer sun on our faces;
the fall of colourful autumn leaves; and the softness of winter's snow.
We
thrive in the song and spirit of the birds and other creatures of the wild.
Our
music is written from a love of life.
The
cycles of nature are our holy days: the earth is our temple, its plants and
creatures our partners and teachers.
We
respect life, cherish the free will of sentient beings, and accept the
sacredness of all creation.
Our
bible is the wind and the rain.
Nature
has a sexual polarity. Nature's fertilizing rain is one manifestation of the
male principle; the nurturing earth symbolizes the female.
Females
are respected as equal but have a slightly higher rank to males.
Not
prone to the arrogance of human technology as they touch our souls, we are
collectively healers, teachers, seekers, givers, and protectors of all
things.
If
this
path is yours, may you walk it with us in honour, light and integrity.
A single layer of thickly distorted, chorused, flanged, or otherwise heavy and ethereal_electric rhythm-guitar; drums ranging from complete absence to death-metal rhythms in one-quarter time suspension; a blend of gregorian chant; baroque minuets; metal on morphine melodies produced by old world instruments --be they real or synthe-sized-- such as harpsichord, viola, cello, pipes, ESPECIALLY cathedral organ; and mix in some babe vocals: thick, smooth, melodic, drifting, ephemeral, riddled with whiny angst.
