Biography

Long before the movie Moonstruck starring Cher appeared in theaters, a band called Moonstruck was born. When Moonstruck started out playing music at various gatherings, there were very few songs dedicated to the

God and Goddess and Nature Spirits. So we began to collect and write songs. As the New Age movement grew,

we were finally able to make our first recording, titled Moonstruck, in 1996. With this tape, we undertook a

series of recordings dedicated to the God and Goddess and all beings of love and light. These songs found a

home in all earth religions and many of the songs became classics. Our second recording,

Witch of the Wildwoods was released on CD in 1999.

The songs on our CDs Witch of the Wildwoods and Moonstruck speak of the mysteries of the Old Religion taught to us in times past and now retold in song. We call them "tunes of magical folklore".

This exciting mix of vocals, chants and instrumentals is sure to uplift and inspire you.
