Badass Women in Folk Song starts next week! Virtual cohorts start on Thursday, January 16th, and the Asheville in-person cohort start on Monday, January 13th. In our time together, we’ll learn a one-of-a-kind collection of ballads and songs about witches, warriors and triumphant women from Scotland, England and Appalachia, and strategies of resistance that these folk songs teach us. Get all the info you need using the links in my bio!  I love this nearly 500 year-old English folk song for the many meanings we can draw from its lyrics. In “Go From My Window,” sung from a woman’s perspective, the narrator repeatedly tells her lover to leave, saying “you cannot have a harboring here.”  There have been many popular stories about what this song means…Often, it’s told that a woman is having an affair, and when her husband is unexpectedly home, she sings this song to her baby, but loud enough for her lover at the window to safely get the message and go home. Sometimes, it’s a young woman singing to her lover because her father is home instead.  But to me, the first time I heard it, this song was about something else…The complexities that can come about in relationships in which we might love someone, but they’re not good or even safe for us to be around.  To have to say, “I love you, but you still have to leave.” This second verse, with the lyrics “the devil’s in the man,” makes me think of this.  I love how oral traditions allow us to put our own meaning into the old songs and stories. The old folk songs are designed in such a way that they easily can become our own. We’ll be exploring this aspect of folk tradition in Badass Women- sign up now before classes start next week!

This centuries-old folk song “Maid on the Shore” is one of my faves! In this story, a woman is pressured to come aboard a ship- the captain and his men want to have their way with her. But instead she sings them to sleep (some see this as witchcraft). Then she robs for everything they’ve got! In my upcoming class, we’ll look at some of the ways women use magic and witchcraft in the old songs to save themselves from attackers (sleep magic is a popular method :)!  If you’re hungry for songs where women triumph and get sh*t done, you should start your year with my course “Badass Women in Folk Song!” This is a 6 week experience that you can take virtually (with two different times to choose from) or locally if you’re in western NC! In our time together, we’ll learn a one-of-a-kind collection of ballads and songs about witches, warriors and triumphant women from Scotland, England and Appalachia, and strategies of resistance that these folk songs teach us. Get all the info you need by going to the links in my bio. We start January 13th for local cohorts, and January 16th for virtual cohorts! #sca #witchsong #magicksongs #folkwitch #traditionalwitchery #magicfolklore #witchtok #witchchant #enlgishfolksong #savagedaughter #folksong #renfaire #medievalwoman #renfairemaiden #witchspell #feministfolk #feminist
