Music Playlist

for
Samhain X: Asheville's 10th Annual Public Witch Ritual

These are the songs we played throughout the rite -- Lady Passion's selection of some of her favorite Pagani trance and dance music. (Many thanks also to Rowan Greenleaf, who compiled the songs expertly, and to Eli, the rite's highly talented DJ.)

On the left, in the sequence in which they were played, are each artist, album, and song title. On the right, you can buy each album from Amazon.com or from the artist's website.
