Circle Round

Co-authored by StarhawkDiane Baker and myself, Circle Round: Raising Children in Goddess Traditions was the first book of its kind to combine seasonal lore, stories, and activities to help families celebrate the seasons and cycles of life together. Circle Round has been in print since 1998 and remains a popular resource.

In 2000, I released Circle Round and Sing, a companion CD with music from the book plus several other original family-oriented songs. The album is now available for MP3 download on Amazon.

The most important feature of our old Circle Round website was the recommended book list. I have re-created and updated our original list and have given it its own page, right here! Since then, the number of books for children about the earth, the seasons, elements, and cycles of life has absolutely exploded. We have compiled the best here in this Amazon storefront, to inspire families and communities with ideas gleaned from Earth-based traditions around the world.

Circle Round and Sing CD—Now Available as MP3 Download!

Circle Round and Sing has been my bestselling CD since its original release in Circle Round and Sing! December, 1999. Intended as a companion CDto Circle Round: Raising Children in Goddess Traditions, the album featured songs written by myself, Starhawk, and several Many of the songs and chants were included in the book Circle Round, and I also recorded some of my favorite songs that are particularly good for singing with kids.

The project was very much a family affair, with my daughters Lyra and Jojo singing backup vocals on a couple tracks. I continually heard from families that the album was their childrens’ favorite, and that they used some of the songs in their adult circles, too. Over the years it has been heartening to see a whole new generation of parents and children enjoying this music together.

After selling over 6,000 copies, the CD went out of print in early 2011. Since that time I have had many customers ask me when it will return. I am very pleased to announce that after several delays, Circle Round and Sing is now available on Amazon for MP3 download! You can purchase the complete album or choose only your favorite tracks to add to your family’s music stream.

My top priority was to complete this step before the holidays this year, and thanks to everyone’s comments and nudges I succeeded. I hope the music enriches your family experience, and helps yet another generation feel a kinship with the earth, the seasons, and the cycles of life.
