Art Against Civilization.
After many long months of writing and a powerful weekend of recording in Lake Tahoe, we are now finished with the tracking of our new album Apparitions of Red Earth… We would like to thank Sammy Fielding at Ancient Owl Audio for welcoming Leadeater to such a beautiful world and for providing us with your forest haven to manifest our work…

Holec, one of our members here at the collective and brother in Leadeater, has made his art prints available to purchase. In regard to his art Holec explains that, …”from any act towards harmony in our lives, any contribution that we make to come closer to salvation will always come from our inner selves and our wish that illuminates our next step in the world that we live in. The source of light is within and from its potency and the individual’s will, it begins to manifest and grow into realities, blossoming from the inner flame that made it be, we see our reflection in its creation as we see our own creator within ourselves.”

We are are honored to bestow the official release of Amethyst Falls’ 2013 self-titled EP on the Orb Weaver collective. This is a limited run of 50 tapes which were assembled by the OWC at the Sanctuary. These cassette tapes are moss stamped with golden paint and housed in plastic cases with a j-card insert.
Here is the new VOIDTRIPPER demonstration recording which is now available on cassette at the link below. This demo is the first glimpse into JW’s meditative melding of murky electronic vibrations with his spirited blues guitar work and the distant resonance of hauntingly emotive vocals… JW is also a kindred spirit in the sonic enigma of Leadeater and will begin recording with them in April. Stay on the look out for his future recordings! VOIDTRIPPER’s etheric workings in music are greatly magical and an experience to behold…
The Orb Weaver Collective originally started as a writing collective, intended to awaken the sleepers and to share our language, roots, and visions with kindred spirits- near, far, and beneath. We have decided to incorporate our sonic mysticism into this vision in hopes that we will better honor what once was, what still is, and the fire that burns brightly in all life…
With that said, we fully intend to share our words at this confluence of the natural and civilized world…
This is Canyon Walker and it was written by one of our verdant apparitions…

On February 4th an event was curated by the gracious folks at SubRosa Community Space in Santa Cruz California featuring Latona Odola, Gabriel Saloman, Common Eider King Eider, and Tilo. This event was to support the Free Cascadia Witch Camp which is a “week-long intensive that explores Reclaiming-inspired magic, ritual, and activism for all levels of experience, while creating and tending culture centered around weaving collective magic to aid and support each other and the earth.” Places like FCW are essential for our communities as well as for self discovery along our magical paths, especially in these days where industrialized civilization tries to separate us from ourselves and the natural world…
“Witchcraft is embedded in the landscape, and our witchcraft must recognize that even the landscape of dream is emanated from the physical world, the body of the witch.”
