Pagan folk and folk using ancient, period, and world instruments and languages is one of my favorite niches. These are four of my favorite bands (actually, three: early Faun and post-Lisa Pawelke Faun I consider as two different entities), but don't worry: I have more! For me it's between Holdrejtek, Renaissance, Eden, Luna, and Mirabilis. Too tough to call!

| Listened just a little bit those three bands (or are there two different Fauns), didn´t woke my interest, sounded quite much that typical modernmade middleage style music that was used for example in the back of hobbit-movies etc. Not bad of course. |

I'm not familiar with any of those paganistic artists or albums in your list, but I really like what I heard from the four sample videos you helpfully provided, so Pagan Folk is definitely a genre I need to look into a lot more deeply. Thanks for introducing me to a hitherto unexplored musical genre.

| This is a hard choice indeed, since they all sound great. I ended voting for Holdrejtek, but either could win, and that would be fine with me. |

Went with Holdrejtek, although they all sound cool on this damp, dreary rainy day. ------------- Welcome to the middle of the film. |

I have Osforras by The Moon and the Nightspirit, which is an album I enjoy a great deal. It's a like a great merger of Dead Can Dance and the Hungarian singer Bognar Szilvia (or Szilvia Bognar in non-Hungarian format). I also recommend checking out the Danish artist Myrkur's brand new album Folksange. Her previous album fused black metal and Scandinavian folk. The new one is pretty much straight-on folk (lots of nyckelharpa!). Tremendous stuff. ------------- The damage that we do is just so powerfully strong we call it love The damage that we do just goes on and on and on but not long enough. --Robyn Hitchcock |

I voted for The Moon and the Nightspirt as I have two of their albums. I like your other entries as well, but my favorite by far (not listed) is The Moors... Their one-off album was very hard to find, but recently showed up on CDBaby https://store.cdbaby.com/cd/themoors" rel="nofollow - https://store.cdbaby.com/cd/themoors . Sharynne MacLeod NicMhacha, the band leader, is a Celtic scholar, writer, teacher and
shaman-priestess of Scottish, Irish and Welsh ancestry, a direct
descendant of 'Fairy Clan' MacLeod. Her facebook page is here. https://www.facebook.com/pages/category/Community/Sharynne-MacLeod-NicMhacha-226092247484/" rel="nofollow - https://www.facebook.com/pages/category/Community/Sharynne-MacLeod-NicMhacha-226092247484/

Awesome suggestion! (I'm listening to it as I write this.) Thanks! I'll check out Bognar Szilvia and Szilvia Bognar, as well! ------------- Drew Fisher https://progisaliveandwell.blogspot.com/ |

THIS IS AMAZING! The voice and vocals are great but the music is AWESOME! (The whole album can be heard on YouTube: by searching The Moors "The Hunter") ------------- Drew Fisher https://progisaliveandwell.blogspot.com/ |

| Oh, this seems fun. I hope I have a chance to listen to these, I only know a bit of Faun, and it's really enjoyable. However, I guess some Corvus Corax would work nicely among these ones. |
