Ascent from Joy Reclaimed! by FOWV

ASCENT was inspired by various books, conversations and podcasts.
Not so long ago the connection to nature was the norm. We lived our life in the rhythm of the seasons. We humbly accepted our limitations and our place in the cycle of life. This also included gratitude for the generosity of Nature, that provides us with food, shelter, entertainement, beauty, ... Back when there was still room and time to contemplate and wonder on the litterally larger-than-life intelligence surrounding us. The same intelligence that engineered us.
But at some recent point in the history of Men the dominant narrative changed. With Christianity mankind became the center of the universe and of this experience called Life. God would have created us to rule and dispose. And all those - mainly women - who kept the old ways alive and offered an alternative value system by among other healing with plants became a threat for that narrative and those who craved power on the mind. Outcasts. Burn them witches. Patriarchy.
Fast foward to our modern day era. We see an explosion of psychological distress, disorders and diseases. Anxiety has taken its toll on kids. Food has become less nutrient. Our soils are poorer than ever before...
This song is a call to reconnecting with ancient wisdom and traditions that honor and nurture a life in harmony with Nature.

You’re dancing with wild abandon on the roofs of burning cars, the city ablaze with the chaos of riots, night swallowing the world whole. That’s the electric pulse of FOWV’s music. Born from the vision of Belgian guitarist and vocalist Ulrich Schadeck, FOWV’s rock anthems ignite a relentless pursuit of hope, joy, truth in a disenchanting world. It’s a radiant explosion of light piercing the dark.
