Blurring the line between music, theatre, and ritual, Visionary Songstress Wendy
Rule weaves her dark-ambient mystical songs along pathways of Magic and mythology.
With her extraordinary voice and heartfelt lyrics, she invites her audience on an
immersive journey of depth and passion.
Over the past three decades, Wendy has released thirteen albums and numerous side
projects, and has toured the world extensively — both as a musician and as a
celebrated educator in Pagan spirituality. A dedicated live performer, she continues to
grow her loyal global fanbase. Originally from Melbourne, Australia, Wendy relocated to
the USA in 2014 and now lives in the beautiful countryside of Northern New Mexico.
This setting offers daily inspiration from wild Nature — the beating heart of her creative
and spiritual life.
Wendy’s 2024 album Meadowlark is a luminous celebration of the land she calls home
— a folk-driven collection that embraces the Nature and Magic of her beloved New
Mexico. Featuring lush arrangements by her son Reuben Bloxham (of acclaimed
Melbourne band RVG) and close collaborators Carisa and Andrew from the LA-based
darkwave band Night Tongue, Meadowlark reveals a tender and intimate side of
Wendy’s songwriting.
“Connection with Nature is at the core of my spiritual practice,” Wendy explains. “After
the epic mythic journey of my last double album Persephone, I needed to emerge from
the Underworld, come up for air, and embrace the powerful Magic of my immediate
environment. Most of the songs on Meadowlark were born on hikes through the nearby
wilderness, or while watching the sky from my porch with a guitar in hand.”
In May 2025, Wendy released Darkness and Light, an ambient meditation album that
further explores her deep relationship with Nature’s cycles. This contemplative and
atmospheric work offers listeners a rich soundscape for ritual, reflection, and stillness.
Wendy’s critically acclaimed double album Persephone (2019) remains a major
milestone in her career — a genre-defying retelling of the ancient Greek myth of
descent and return, sung partly in Greek and rich with dark, operatic beauty.

Nocturne Spark weaves together vocals, acoustics, and electronics, traversing genres as diverse as world, folk, techno, electoclash, jazz, and American gothic music. Her new record, The Hero's Journey, merges dance and pop music with folk themes and stories about ancient Greek myth and culture. Her debut solo album, The Ecstasy of Decline, was released in 2022.
