  • ✿ This votive candle comes with one of twelve high-quality postcard prints of the album artwork. The postcards each have a unique digital download code for the album printed on the back. The candle is made of beeswax with sweet almond cream fragrance. It was created by making a silicone mould from a 3d scan and print of myself, in the pose in which I appear on the album cover. You can see a video of it burning along to "Almonds of the Present Moment" here: youtu.be/RUX8nNBT5IM

    ✿ Votive candles are used to aid prayer in many spiritual practices. I imagine them to clarify and illumine the intention of the one who prays, and to act as offerings to the forces that help bring about what is desired.

    ✿ This particular candle is modelled on the Greek Orthodox τάματα (tamata), votive offerings (often in candle form) that are dedicated to a saint, and act as a link between individual human desire and infinite, divine life force. I'm drawn to these objects because of the association for me with the healing power of art.

    ✿ This votive candle is the physical manifestation of Abundance.

    ✿ I light it to thank the life force for my continued creative transformation through music and song. I light it to illumine my path through future transformations, as long as I move and breathe. I light it to thank the life force for my return to the earth, once I move and breathe no more. I invite you to light it, to meditate on your own time and on all you wish to creatively transform in yourself.

    ✿ The Abundance votive candle was realised through the generous collaboration of Savvas Avraam at CYENS - Thinker Maker Space (3d scan and print) and Vasiliki Riala at ÷χρονικό (silicone mould and candle).

lyrics

Ai que orar bendita hora
Com as três Marias

Praise now this blessed hour
oh, three sisters

Ai, são horas de agradecer
Com as três Marias

These are hours for giving thanks
oh, three sisters

Agradecer com a palavra
Com as três Marias

Give thanks with your words
oh, three sisters

Foi o melhor que aconteceu
Com as três Marias

The greatest of events has come to pass
oh, three sisters

Eu agradeço à São José
Com as três Marias

I give thanks to saint Joseph
oh, three sisters

Ai, são horas de agradecer
Com as três Marias

These are hours for giving thanks
oh, three sisters

Vai receber o prêmio dela
Com as três Marias

You will receive her gifts
oh, three sisters

Foi lã na glória verdadeira
Com as três Marias

An event of true glory
oh, three sisters

from Abundance, released November 15, 2021
Folia de Reis is the Brazilian folkloric celebration of the adoration of the magi. The “three sisters” refers to the stars of Orion’s Belt, a constellation associated in many traditions with the biblical magi. I want to thank the brothers Daniel Fernandes and De Leon Fernandes for sharing their knowledge of this tradition as it is practiced in the municipality of Muriaé in Minas Gerais. The song as it appears in Abundance was based on a recording of a procession in which Daniel and De Leon participated. See the following pages for more information on this local tradition: www.instagram.com/jornadatresreis/?, www.muriaecity.com.br/news-148-grupo-de-folia-de-muriae-tem-cancao-gravada-por-artista-internacional
