I miss the time when we sent one another letters. Now all I get is ads, bills, and requests for donations to charities. Thank you so much Loreena for this lovely, spiritual message. I enjoy the music you create immensely.

[@AZsunflower]

One of my commitments to myself is to send someone a letter or card every single week in 2025!

[@WyoPrairie]

Millions of us still write letters! Having pen pals is very much alive in our world!

Thank you Loreena for all your songs. They have become something really important to my life. Everytime i listen to them i feel happier and more peaceful. Thank you very much, i send this message from Brazil 🇧🇷

[@martemacdougall1985]

Gently inspiring message Loreena. Thank you. I am preparing for the Winter Solstice tonight at 1:21 Pacific time here on the west coast of Canada. Your message has spurned me on to WRITE in my new journal now instead of waiting until the new Year 2025. Messages come when they are meant to. Happy Holidays and may all good things continue to flow to you. 💖✍✨🎹🎉💖

Bless you, Loreena. You and your music have always guided me through some of my darkest days. I haven't been able to attend one of your performances, but I hope your tour bus will venture closer someday.

[@SusannahLorenzo]

Thank you for this beautiful message. I do love pen and paper, I love letters and cards written with love and our soul vibrant energy. Stay blessed.

[@SharonPadget]

One of my treasured memories was going to one of your performances in my home state of Michigan. The concert was as if one of your albums had come to life. A magical evening that I got to share with my two lovely daughters. Your music is not only beautiful but has the power to transport one out of the mundane world into a spiritual realm. May you and yours have a Merry Christmas and a peaceful New Year.

[@sharrablackfire7337]

You have been an inspiration throughout my entire existence. When I was a child, my life was full of nothing but dark things. One day when I heard your music playing from a store I was walking by, I was enraptured and it changed everything for me. That was the first time I experienced true beauty and the seeds of joy. Your music gave me a reason to survive and taught me that existence held a possibility of being more than just suffering and abuse. Even to this day when I hear your songs, I feel that same original sense of hope for the world. Thank you for everything you are and for everything you've given us. I cherish the story you told during one of your concerts, how your own origins came from humble busking at the park. May we all find happiness and beauty.

[@tarbuckle2]

Mummer's Dance was the song, wasn't it? It was for me.

[@sharrablackfire7337]

@@tarbuckle2 Yes it was :) A store that was originally called "Romancing the Stone" and which later became "Earthbound trading company" was playing it

[@youssefbadawi5498]

Thats soo sweet. Thank you for the love and warmth. Im grateful to hear this message today. 🙏

[@LeonardGalit]

You have a very spiritual perspective which our society needs as much as ever. The Baha'i Faith also offers a spiritual view that we are all members of one family, that the religions have the same essential teachings, such as the Gold Rule. We must be as lights in the darkness, and help make the world a better place.

This is so beautiful ❤thank you…it made me cry….you have a beautiful soul ❤️

thank you for your kind wishes, Ms McKennitt and crewe. may i be permitted to extend the same to y'all. and to every last being, animal or human, on this planet, our only home.

[@KuanYuh]

I just came here from watching old Guano Apes videos. I work with computers. There are no contradictions here as things are as they are and what’s important is what we make of it. I discovered LMCK in the summer of 2000 with the Book of Secrets at age seventeen and I am enchanted still after all those years, especially this record, an ancient muse and the now even remastered version of live in the Alhambra are very special to me. Thank you Mrs. McKennitt and your team for those special moments and memories!

I recently got into fountain pens and went back to analog journaling. It's slowed me down, made me more mindful, made me more appreciative. Great message. Very on point for these times.

[@_creighton]

I chuckled when you said 'analog journeling'. I recall seeing a chalkboard outside a coffee house that read. "Analog Chat Room out back." xD

Blessed Yule and Merry Christmas. I miss hand written letters and especially missed receiving cards this year with the postal strike. Tough Christmas as an orphaned Christmas but music helps make it better. Thank you.
