Songs by Mary Tyrtle Rooker & Other Local Shamanic Practitioners

1. Circle Songs--18 songs written mostly by Rena Yount, with a few other local shamanic practitioners from their helping spirits. Includes songbook and sheet music.

   • Sing the Lady's Praises (Rena Yount)
     
   • Bear Nudges Me (Mary Rooker)

2. Two songs, same melody: When We Are Gone; and The Web Holds Us (written by Rena Yount).
   
3. With the Earth I Turn (Morning Sun Greeting), by Mary "Tyrtle" Rooker, Shamanic Spring.
   
4. A Song Is Singing Through You, variation of a song written by Rena Yount, altered by Mary Rooker. Original melody unknown; I hear it with a slightly Irish folk character to the melody, as the song reminds me of the Oran Mor, or "Great Song" from Celtic lore.

Songs by Others

1. Morning Sun (Pomo extraction chant). 3 great online versions! One by our own Stephanie Seger, one by another Sandra Ingerman student, Victoria Vives, and a concert version by Asher Quinn. Quinn's version reminds me that I have heard a second verse that puts everything past tense: Morning Sun, came my way, took my pain, down below, cool water down below.
   
2. Sun Yoik/Joik - Ailo Gaup; sung by Sundance Metelsky.
   
3. We Shall Be Known, by MaMuse.
   
4. Oh River (Finding My Way Back Home), by MaMuse.
   
5. Because You Are Light, by Bob Sima. Lyrics plus short sample clip.
   
6. Break the Shell, by India Arie.
   
7. How Could Anyone Ever Tell You (You Were Anything Less Than Beautiful), Lyrics by Libby Roderick; sung by Shaina Noll.
   
8. I Am Light, by India Arie. (Song lyrics.) I prefer the words "soul" and "whole" to "light."
   
9. Kinder, by Copper Wimmin. For lyrics, scroll down and click on "Show More."
   
10. Mountain Lion, by Copper Wimmin.
    
11. May You Walk In Beauty - several versions
    -- YRGM Christof Schnepp (3 mins.)
    -- Leah Salomaa (3 mins.)

    For a variation that makes it present tense and declarative (I walk in beauty) instead of a petition (May I walk in beauty): Now I Walk In Beauty, Libana (2 mins.).
    
12. Put Your Roots Down, Thrive Choir
    

Poems & Quotes

Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities have crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day. You shall begin it serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense.
​--Ralph Waldo Emerson

I discovered that when I believed my thoughts, I suffered, but that when I didn't believe them, I didn't suffer, and that this is true for every human being. Freedom is as simple as that. I found that suffering is optional. I found a joy within me that has never disappeared, not for a single moment. That joy is in everyone, always.
​--Byron Katie
