The Return of The Light

Dear: Dragon, I know that 2025 has been a real piece of work for a lot of us! Not to mention this has been the year of the snake, which has brought about a lot of shedding. Shedding of identities, shedding of careers, life paths, relationships, beliefs, behaviors, the list goes on and on. I personally stayed quiet for most of the year for I didn’t even know who I was becoming at times. But now most of my shedding is done and I feeling renewed and I am working on music again and finishing up...
Raise Your Sword through the embers of fire

A day late but it's here!

Dear: Dragon, I was going to release the single Raise Your Sword before midnight last night but I got set back due to technical difficulties! But hey it's now been released on Bandcamp today! This song has a simple yet powerful arrangement with my raw operatic vocals, it calls us to rise up in this time of discord, fear and uncertainty. This song is a song for the times, a song for the revolution. I invite you to go give it a listen on my 👉bandcamp, while the song is getting prepared to be...

Finally gettin over this demonic cough!

Dear: Dragon, Great news! I am finally coming out of this demonic cough 😷 that has made it difficult for me to even talk at times! So today I will get back to recording and as I promised the Raise Your Sword 🗡️ single will be released this month! Now I also need your opinion. I am feeling a need to really incorporate more of my Witchy spiritually into my music 🎵, truth is it has always been a huge if not the main inspiration behind my music 🎵 So I am really feeling a need to talk about how...

The return of light!

Jiana Wessel December 25th A Celebration Of The Return of Light! Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Happy Holidays, Merry Yule and most importantly the celebration of brighter times ahead! Dear: Dragon, I know that a lot of us have gone through some dark times in the past year or even the past years that have recently gone. So much has happened and changed since 2020, but what matters most is the future that's ahead of us. This is what we most have control of the present and future, not our...

Today was a good day!

Dear: Dragon, For the first time since losing our first pet together, our cat Minnie and getting hit with the possibility that family members of mine may get deported now with the new presidential administration coming in… I did it, I played piano and I sang. I sat and I played and practiced my vocal exercises. I have been grieving and it had hit me all at once. But there is beauty in grief too. Someone once told me the price of love is grief and it rang true more than ever. So I am happy to...
Minnie from 2011 -2024

It' so hard to say goodbye 🥺

Minnie from 2011 -2024 Dear: Dragon, Almost two weeks ago on Wednesday morning at 2:50 AM, I said goodbye to me and my husband's first baby together, Minnie. She had been fighting diabetes for a while and finally it was taking her. Basically all of October has really been about making her comfortable. So unfortunately I've didn't get to finish the single I was wanting to release in October from the Raise Your Sword 🗡️ EP. She died loved and I got to have her euthanized in my arms. I am so...
