"13 Witches" Celebrates the Divine Power of Female Energy Across Cultures and Time

SAN FRANCISCO - EntSun -- Mysterious, magical, healing, seductive, dangerous, sacred, strange, wonderful... Jon O'Bergh's new album 13 Witches portrays famous witches from history and legend.

"Isis" conjures the ritualistic feel of ancient Egypt, while "Circe" gives us the laid-back vibe of the island enchantress from The Odyssey. The meditative sounds of "Hecate" evoke the stillness of night. A light, jaunty mood pervades "Morgan le Fay," named for the fairy who served as King Arthur's magical savior and protector. The past comes to life through the haunting melancholy of "Tituba," inspired by the indigenous healer accused during the Salem Witch Trials. "Marie Laveau" offers a slow, seductive groove evoking the Voodoo Queen of New Orleans.

O'Bergh was inspired to create the album after reading Witchcraft, edited by Jessica Hundley and Pam Grossman, which traces the history and contemporary practice of witches. "The gorgeous photos and diverse points of view stirred my imagination," he says.

O'Bergh has explored a multitude of styles on past albums, ranging from jazz to world fusion to dance. With 13 Witches, he merges his signature piano style with percussion and various instruments to create an evocative soundscape. "The piano allows me to paint musical landscapes while maintaining an intimate and improvisatory feel," he explained, "while the other instruments and sounds add color to enhance the mood."
