Sometimes, the Mead of Poetry works indirectly. An old rock ‘n’ roll song is stuck on repeat in my head, spinning unceasingly between my ears. Actually, it’s not even an entire song. It’s just a verse or a chorus or sometimes only a line or two. Someone else’s creative creation gets lodged in there, doing work on my mind that only I can hear.
Kerli released each song on OVERSOUL as a single, one each month. I felt the magic and the power in each of them. The lyrics are direct and evocative, auditive spells that help the listener manifest the kind of reality they need depending on the case. When listened to as one whole disc, we get a full ritual that recharges, empowers, and cleanses us.

There’s something about the solstices that seems to connect with a deep, fundamental part of the human psyche. The solstice is a moment where the world seems to hold its breath, the sun hung motionless overhead or hidden below the horizon, before it dives across the threshold of one side of the year to the other: light to dark and dark to light.
