New Song Out On 17th July
'Goddess of Land and Sea'
This is one of the first songs I ever wrote. I had just left university, feeling empowered and free of the shackles of the education system. I had found my tribe of eco-activists and musicians defending the land from destruction.
This song came to me one night by the sea at Marazion, Cornwall. I was dancing on a huge rock on the beach, looking at the moonlit waves and the craggy silhouette of St. Michael's Mount. I felt buzzing and inspired, it was a magical moment when my life opened up into all possibilities.
I have sung this song hundreds of times over the years. It’s a powerful, simple call-and-response chant - people love it and get really excited when they join in singing it.
It’s primal, rhythmic and uplifting, with nothing but cello, drums and 13 women's voices. It's a timeless message about throwing off the shackles that hold us back and choosing our own path.

Green Man Calling
This song is about the elusive Green Man, the symbol of the male spirit of all nature. Written while visiting Green Man carvings and old yew trees at churches in Herefordshire.
Feasting For Lugnasadh
One of my 8 Songs Of The Wheel Of The Year. Lugnasadh is the old Gaelic festival which celebrates the start of the harvest season. It's dedicated to Lugh, the Celtic God of Light.
In a Nutshell...
Selena Mara creates a magical, earthy atmosphere with her original Celtic Indie Folk songs. From enchanting and soulful to fun and funky, her music is joyful and uplifting.
Her songs draw on the old ways and traditions of the British Isles, and speak of the personal and collective journeys we’re on - honouring the land, the seasons, our healing, and our strength.
There’s an ancient spirit alive in the songs, and they’re rooted in the present.
With rich vocals, poetic lyrics, and lively mandolin and accordion, her performances draw people in and create a sense of togetherness. The songs are grounded and empowering, grown from twenty years of living outdoors - from walking the land to building low-impact community.
At heart, Selena’s music is about connection... to the earth, to each other, and to the living culture we’re creating.

THE STORY SO FAR...
My music started with defending the land...
What got me into writing my own music was the road protest movement.
We camped out on the land to protect it from destruction by new motorways.
We sang and played music both to entertain ourselves and to deliver our message of hope and defiance on direct actions.
This sparked my singing, songwriting and mandolin playing.
I lived the outdoor travelling life for about 8 years and then settled in a low impact community in Devon. I've written dozens of songs that tell the tales of this magical life path that inspired me so much.
