1.	The Doctrine of Self-Realization (original) 05:41	lyrics	buy track
Often Do I find myself trapped Between the realm of the living And the extra real Shall i find peace Or will i know pain The answers lie within The answers lie within Shall i find peace Or will i know pain The answers lie within The answers lie within Aimlessly I wander From mind to mind Your ulfire hair it glows Within the moonlight cold Shall I find peace Or will I learn pain? The answers lie within The answers lie within Within the emotions Lie the keys to my heart Shall they unlock the keys to the priesthood Within these liminal spaces And contradictions does my paganism dance Shall I find peace Or will I learn pain? The answers lie within The answers lie within

3.	The Road to Gnosis (original) 04:04	lyrics	buy track
I have absorbed the contradictions As i chase abnegation And i ride upon the road to gnosis Revolt against the modern man But not against the modern world Revolt against the inner cop But not the modern girl The praxis is of asceticism The theory is that of deep theology So too must I give up being a monk As i ride upon the road to gnosis As i ride upon the road to gnosis
4.	Give Great Thanks (Dorian Electra cover) 06:12		buy track
5.	I am the Ship of Theseus (original) 03:33	lyrics	buy track
This song's lyrics reference "my folk" and "those who oppose us" But don't let a simple double entendre for the trans experience while feeding into the classic national romanticisms of neofolk give you the impression I'm a nazi

about

Queer neofolk for folks who are new to their true selves. Consisting half of neofolk/martial industrial covers of hyperpop/pc music sound artists and half originals.
I should stress that while this is neofolk and borrows cues from Western Esotericism, I have no tolerance for fascists.
