A young woman braves the wrath of a winter goddess to learn a lost magic. Another throws the tarot for an unrequited love and finds only a mirror in the cards. Two sisters make a terrible choice to preserve one of them from harm. Shatter and Rise brings together three ballads from C.S. MacCath's repertoire of original songs to address the resilience, the heartache, and the power of magical women. Hit "play," curl your hands around a tisane, and be transported.

My apologies to those of you who 1) did not receive my newsletter at all in October, or 2) received it more than once. Our web host experienced a system-wide instability that caused our server to reboot while the newsletter send was in process. (It was a whole thing. Took days to fix. Great Mother. 🤦♀️)
