about

Lithomancy is the lost mystical art of speaking to stones. Different stones have different personalities, uses, and ranks in this mystical tradition. There are modern day crystal workers, but few can claim that they understand the language of the stones.

lyrics

Carved upon the crystal halls
On the arcane temple walls
The legacy of she with shining eyes
Mentioned once in passing

Reflections cleansed my inner sight
From illusions of the night
Now sentenced to life in obscurity
Through the crystal let me gaze

*though I dream I cannot name thee
The legend that unfolds is but a mystery
Now with these stones, I remember and relive
And pray you take me in your arms

Aethyreal prayers like feathers fly
To colored planes beyond the sky
Over seas of grey, dark green essence soars
As your hierophants commune

I see a symbol drawn in light
Upon the walls of purest white
The children of the sky
Never truly died

*esoteric distant star
Cast away into the dark
I recall the name of she who bore the light
In hallowed halo of the spheres

Goblin Hovel recommends:

The Deer Will Hunt
by Where She Wept

I have heard everything from Evoken to My Dying Bride, and I still think Where She Wept is darker in sound and execution than any other gothic/doom band. And they don't even need a violin. Goblin Hovel

Witch of the Northern Frost
by Nazgûl

This is cold, meditative, and plain old desolate black metal done right. A must have for the worshipers of 90's style Norwegian folk/black metal! Goblin Hovel

Advent
by Wandering Oak

Every member of Oak is an absurdly talented musician and their cohesion as players and people is awe inspiring in and of itself. The music is intricate, but emotional; wild, yet thoughtful. Goblin Hovel
