Wrote legendary Pagan journal Green Egg: In Lady Isadoras voice hear the singing of quartz bowl bells. In her heart feel the dedication of Witch and bard. Her voice slides waterlike from strong high places to splash into pools of evenly-grained alto note progressions, then carries us all willingly down storystreams of love, defiance, ethics, evolution... [Her albums] are a wonderful collection for Pagans, Witches, and writers. Her voice is an instrument of surpassing beauty with which she tells our tales and sings our souls. Additional review accolades for Lady Isadora include: ...soaring flutelike exaltation... lushly beautiful melodies combine with words of power... ... dont miss... sparkles with top professionalism... a voice that rivals Judy Collins for clarity and emotion. The Joni Mitchell of the Wicca* movement... powerful... ...an intelligence not often seen in this field... Raise your expectations for pagan music. ...a Pagan National Treasure... Like the sirens of mythology, Isadora calls our spirits to join her in ecstasy... this songstress is truly the Queen of Musical Witches. I was absolutely filled with joy... Every song, every line spoke to the heart... I cant imagine any Pagan being without them. ...excellent... delightful... I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending her work. Lady Isadora's songs stir the heart of the Witch, and resonate in the endless cycle of things that are ever ancient and ever new. ...a cauldron of mixed delights and metaphors... unique approach and style. Isadoras melodies are both intricate and fresh... rich vocals... The layered voices and harmonies of Samhain Fires would make Freddie Mercury and Queen proud... Bottom line: Candy for the ear, intellect, and spirit. ...amazing voice... to pigeonhole her or her music would be a mistake... The Goddess was smiling the day Lady Isadora was born, and bringing her voice into your life will make you smile, too. Thank you Lady, for sharing your amazing talent with the world. ...this gorgeous haunting voice to rival Sarah Brightman, guitar prowess to rival Lita Ford, and a songwriting gift to rival Lennon-McCartney. Youre AWESOME! Thank you thank you thank you for YEARS of enjoyment of your music! You ROCK, sister! Yum... musical nirvana!! Lady Isadora is a terrific singer... guitar skills to rival Bonnie Raitt... stellar. ... Ive listened to the lyrics of [Lady Isadora and former partner, Lord Pan] for years now, and nowhere else have I found two people more in tune with what it means to be Pagan... Their songs weave spells... all amazing... ...[Isadoras first album, The Witching Hour] changed my life as a young girl... The most beautiful songs, the most beautiful voice, and all the passion, devotion, and joy you could ever want... A classic. Ive been a huge fan since hearing Priestess of the Pentacle back in the early 90s... no one writes or sings of the true Craft like Lady Isadora. ...we had 3 hurricanes hit us in the space of one year... of all the stuff I lost, [Lady Isadoras albums were] the one thing I have made an effort to replace. There just isnt anything like her music anywhere. I dont normally review [albums]; however these are certainly worthy of an exception. I found the lyrics to these songs to range from amusing to quite moving... a beautiful voice... absolutely haunting (reminds me of a cross between Judy Collins and Joni Mitchell)... I was especially touched by her tribute to Anne Frank... Drawing Down the Moon on Priestess of the Pentacle is quite spectacular. ...a joy to listen to... inspiration while I write. My cat Seraphine has given her emphatic meow of approval, and believe me, she doesnt impress easily! ...a truly beautiful voice... brilliant. ...a fabulous achievement. Wow! Isadora sings like the mermaids, full of truth and magic... lyrical, yet politically astute as well. A rare combination... ...miraculous... spine-chilling... a true feast for the heart in all Lady Isadoras works. Her pure soprano voice comes from deep within her soul... moving, strong, poetic lyrics... Inspired and fulfilling music, highly recommended. Once more, Lady Isadora touches Pagan heartstrings with her lilting voice and magical melodies... themes of power and mystery... good thinking music... deep messages for contemplation mixed within the lovely harmonies. ...amazing... haunting... a precious gift... Listen to this music in a darkened room lit by candlelight, and let the magic happen. Lost in the Lady's Labyrinthine Lair? Visit the Site Map!
