about

WHITE SWAN DREAMING

The twelve songs on Alanna’s new album White Swan Dreaming pay homage to Irish myths and paradigms that held sway long before the current era. For this Australian songwriter of Irish descent, also a professional geomancer, the parallel indigenous perspectives of both sides of the world still hold currency today.
Like a migrating swan returning home, she traverses geo-mythic landscapes and dives deep into the Irish Dreamtime, soul-full realm of the Other. Bypassing the spin on St Patrick, she pays homage to the energies and spirits of place. Seeking the serpents of Earth wisdom, their forces still pulsing under the surface, she celebrates the joyful pagan heart of Irish society. Embracing Ireland’s gods and goddesses, she connects into their life-promoting powers, through dream images and inspiration from actual encounters. The result is a feast of diverse dishes that explores Ireland’s indigenous cultural wealth and the beauty, heritage and sanctity of its fertile landscapes.
From the Iron Age to the Celtic Tiger boom-time, Alanna’s songs reflect the changing ethos of modern times also. New myths arise as the Irish countryside is plastered with bland monuments-to-greed, the empty ‘ghost estates’ that are a “concrete hell, stained red with fungus”. But this song and the album are never bleak and, in visions seeped in hope, Alanna’s songs point us towards a more sensitive and positive world.

Praise for this album:

By Morgana for Pagan International, 28/7/19:

“Reflecting on her journey as ‘a child of the diaspora’, White Swan Dreaming – the title track – is a haunting song of returning to homeland that brings her a deep sense of belonging. When she sings of the Endless Green, we are reminded of the Emerald Isle and the abundance of rain.     
Other tracks are about Alanna’s connection with the Celtic Gods – in particular Brigit and the seasonal festivals such as Lammas Fair. …
Other songs describe her link with Sacred Trees, the Land and her commitment to farming and gardening (permaculture). Her style of music is a mix of pagan folk and jazzy acoustic and a welcome alternative to the electronic hip hop we often hear at festivals now; although the guitar work on track 5, Lord and Lady of the Corn is pretty neat.”
