"Lisa Thiel and Ani Williams are two of the most mentally positive, spiritually rich and musically smooth artists out there making spiritual albums for us. Their last one, Sisters of the Dream, had a Native American feel over all. But this one sounds more like a Celtic spiritual album. So the two albums are quite different, although we still get their smooth, healing voices and shining spirits!This album has more brisk instrumentation, a few "spiritual jigs" - Scottish style. The goddesses and religious references are mainly from the Celtic isles. And it's a good opportunity to see that what Lisa and Ani offer us isn't so much music from one spiritual tradition, but gentle and uplifting reminders of Spirit in any number of traditions. Last time, it was Native American. This time, it's the Celtic Isles.This is a wonderfully enjoyable album - very well produced also. Good sound. One note though - there is a LOT of overlap on the song list between this and Lisa Thiel's Invocation of the Graces. You may want to just get one album or the other because they share so many of the same songs. Although some fans will definitely want both, because each album has some tracks that the other doesn't have."
