Engelina Abbenhuis I love this album so much!
I found out about you and your songs while I was watching the movie “the new story of humanity “ -Findhorn Community.
I was immediately attracted to the song “Green Dragon” and your story about your life and experiences. After the movie I purchased this album. Thank you ♥️🙏🏻

Veronika Eilbacher Dear Boe Huntress,
thank you so much for your songs! Especially for "shadow king", "fuck the plan" and your story of the "green dragon song". They touch a very deep layer of my heart and help me to find courage to bring it into the light. I keep on sharing your songs and hope you get good-feeling and nourishing (financial) feedback, to keep on singing and writing.
Best wishes, V.

Narcissa 03:24
Down by the water down by the sea I let go of every one of my dreams Sailed them out on the ocean’s tide Ready to birth or ready to die Down by the water down by the sea I let go of everything I believed Saw my face in the oceans mirror And fell in love with it’s unknown treasure You know, you know, you know who you really are This is your love, come the night You claim the stars as your eyes Riding the cloaks of darkness As though you have nothing to hide This is your love to take your height To shy away from your doubt Even with all your darkness right by your side Down by the water down by the sea I untied the boat I had always seen Felt the terror at my throat And used it to paddle me further out Down by the water down by the sea I let go the land I had always lived by Smaller and smaller it seemed to me Until there was nothing by great wide sea You know, you know, you know who you really are Don’t hide your light whatever you do, don’t hide your light Don’t live a small life whatever you do, don’t live a small life Don’t hide you;re light whatever you do don’t hide your light Don’t live a small life whatever you do, don’t live a life That’s not befitting you Cos you’re bigger, bigger, bigger than you thought

There's a witch in the window, watch out! There's a witch in your shadow, watch out! She wants to eat your heart out with a spoon Melt it in her cauldron with the moon, to make room And oh she'll take you down, down, down To the bottom of your ground Where you'll remember all the treasure that you've ever found Do you remember when love was innocent And playful as a hound, as a hound howling Are you fierce enough to turn around Touch her death white skin and kiss her crown? Have you eyes enough to see her name Written in your heart and written through her love storm rage? Are you fierce enough to say you'll stay And feel the tenderness within her cave? Have you eyes enough to see her ways And weep until you're nothing but the bravest love? Oh she'll have you, wrap you up in her spider's web Oh she'll eat you, bite right through your little head, cos it's dead And there's nowhere to run, run, run from your destiny my son She'll always stand there one by one holding everything you want Do you remember when love was innocent And wild as lightening runs, as it runs roaring And oh there are winged horses in your heart To ride you through her soul And oh the light of the stars are in her night To guide you to your throne Awake, awake brave son, Awake, awake brave one

Where did you get those ideas from, was it in a magazine Or from the moving pictures on a TV screen Or from the lonely nights in your bedroom When virtual reality was the only company you got What did they tell you in the locker room What did they tell you in the school classroom Cos I like it slow and I like it soft So I can feel every touch You know there's nothing much we're doing We're just being here now With nothing to prove, and nothing to gain, with nothing to lose If we let go, into the simplest flow I just want to move with you and see what happens And the more you're here the more I open I don't have an idea or an expectation So let's just breathe and be and wait What did they tell you in the locker room What did we make all of those women do? Cos I like it slow and I like it soft So I can feel every touch You know there's nothing much we're doing We're just being here now With nothing to prove, and nothing to gain, with nothing to lose If we let go, into the simplest flow Can you forget everything you know I need you here I want you just as you are Can you forget every rehearsed show I need you here I want you just as you are, just as you are With nothing in between us, stripped of every layer Till we're naked, till we're naked, let's be naked

You are enough when you wake up You are enough when you’re unproductive You are enough when you’re too scared You are enough when you bring what you have You are enough when you feel small You are enough when you know it all You are enough brave enough to try You are enough when you want to hide I would go to the top of the mountains to bring you back into my arms where you belong, little one I would follow you up those cold mountains right to the top of your mind winds to bring you down, home again Oh everything is loving you and oh everything is on your side You are not separate from the love inside Oh everything is loving you and oh everything is on your side You are not separate from this heart of mine You are enough though you’re not like him or her You are enough though you’re not even perfect You are enough though you get it wrong You are enough though you’re not always strong You are enough in all the ways of who you are, You are enough though you think you should be more, You are enough in this moment You are enough without atonement I would go to the top of the mountains to bring you back into my arms where you belong, little one I would follow you up those cold mountains right to the top of your mind winds to bring you down, home again Oh everything is loving you and oh everything is on your side You are not separate from the love inside Oh everything is loving you and oh everything is on your side You are not separate from this heart of mine I know it doesn’t feel enough but this time you’ll just have to trust me Cos I’ve been around now long enough to see That some things you don’t have to believe Oh everything is loving you and oh everything is on your side Oh everything is, everything is love

Green Dragon 03:24
She has green dragon eyes she can see right to the heart of things Her body moves with surprise as though every moment Were the only one She’s thirsty for life she knows how to say no and When to say yes She’ll give you no less and no more than she gives to herself She learned straight from the dragon (She knows her beauty) Deep in the cave of her motherland (She knows her beauty) No saint with no sword came to destroy them (She knows her beauty) She learned straight from the dragon She’s as fierce as the wild she knows how to protect Like a mumma bear She’s not afraid to fight cos she loves with truth And her truth is love She lives through her heart she feels everything And it’s all welcome She’s not afraid to cry she’s not afraid to tell you why She learned straight from the dragon (She knows her beauty) Deep in the cave of her motherland (She knows her beauty) No saint with no sword came to destroy them (She knows her beauty) She learned straight from the dragon She’s wild, she’s wild, she’s wild in her body, It’s for her, it is her, it’s for her own connection She’s fire, she’s fire, she’s fire in her belly, it’s for her, is her own She knows her beauty She has green dragon eyes she can see through the lies She has green dragon eyes

Be tidy, don't make a mess, or a mistake, don't challenge anybody, even if you're right Cos you're wrong, and what do you know? Who gave you that authority, who do you think you are?

I am letting go of everything I’ve been holding I am letting go of everything I have stored The hopes and the fears The plans and the promises I am letting them go back to where they came from I am vessel things come and they go They move through me and I am not left unchanged Everything I want to hold on to everything I want to make mine Capitalise on every potential because I’m not enough inside Afraid of emptiness, afraid it feels like death Nothing to hold onto nothing left Oh let go, oh let go, I am emptiness I am soul I am a clean slate, I am an innocent I can go anywhere from here, I can see everywhere from here I am letting go of everything I’ve been holding Things that I took in, things I no longer need I am vessel my body creates life and every time I don’t give birth I give birth to myself Oh let go, oh let go, I am emptiness I am soul I am a clean slate, I am an innocent I can go anywhere from here, I can see everywhere from here Things once seen as a curse, will be seen as a blessing Cos who are you and what do you know about it And how long has the wisdom of my body Been overlooked by the whiteness of your white white coats Cos you cannot cope with the things you don’t understand Things once seen as a curse, will be seen as a blessing

Rising up, back on the street, did my time, took my chances, went the distance, now I'm back on my feet, just a girl and her will to survive. So many times it happens too fast, you trade your passion for glory, don't lose your grip on the dreams of the past, you must fight just to keep them alive. It's the eye of the tiger, it's the thrill of the fight, rising up to the challenge of our rival, and the last known survivor stalks her prey in the night, and she's watching us all with the eye of the tiger, yeah she’s inside ya, the tiger. Face to face, out in the heat, hanging tough, staying hungry. They stack the odds still we take to the street, for the kill with the skill to survive... Oh I will survive, and I will survive, yeah I will thrive, I will survive and I will survive and I will thrive. Rising up, straight to the top, had the guts, got the glory, I went the distance, now I'm not gonna stop, just a girl and her will to survive...

Kite Flying 03:21
There’s an owl, there’s an owl in the backyard Crying out, crying out in the dark hours Don’t forget, no don’t forget the soul life There’s a ghost, there’s a ghost in my ribcage Breathing out, breathing hungry my heartache Don’t forget, no don’t forget the soul life There’s a box in the basement A bag of faith under the pavement Can you see, can you see Wise old owl I’ll follow you, I’ll follow you into the deep I’ll be kite flying Wise old owl I’ll follow you I’ll follow you into the sea I’ll be night riding Wise old owl won’t you teach me And the moon, and the moon on the water Like a web silver thread pulls us all in her whisper Don’t forget no don’t forget the soul life And the bed made of wax in the attic where I go Melt it all in the flame of my mattress Don’t forget no don’t forget the soul life There’s a clock in the meadow, a field of time in its shadow Can you see, can you see Wise old owl I’ll follow you, I’ll follow you into the deep I’ll be kite flying Wise old owl I’ll follow you I’ll follow you into the sea I’ll be night riding Wise old owl won’t you teach me Wisdom is in dreams, not in your books or things Wisdom is in me, I am a library

The Huntress 03:25
I am a bear I am a wolf I am a snake I am a spider I am a tiger So you better watch out Oh you better watch out Cause I’m hunting you I’m hunting your heart I smell it like blood on the forest floor Oh where is your heart Man of war I’ll take you apart With my claws With my tongue Remove your gun From this forest Where it never did belong I’m as deep as a bear I’m as raw as a wolf I’m as smooth as a snake As wise as a spider As mad as a tiger So you better watch out Oh you better watch out Cause I’m hunting you I’m hunting your heart I smell it like blood on the forest floor Oh where is your heart Man of war I’ll take you apart With my claws With my tongue Remove your dumb words From this forest Where they never did belong Oh if I told you I loved you Oh if I told you I wanted you Free as your soul, as your soul Would you lay down Would you lay down Your weapons Oh if told you I loved you With my teeth and my skin And my fur Till your heart is as free As your soul is Would you lay down Would you lay down Your weapons I’m hunting your heart I smell it like blood on the forest floor Oh where is your heart Man of war I’ll take you apart With my claws With my tongue Remove your dumb clothes From this forest Where they never did belong

I was born with more than two eyes Found a pair in the soles of my feet the size Of a wise woman staring into the fires Of the heart of the earth where her love carries Down the length of my spine nearly thirty eyes Open up I can see everything behind me Through your soul to your heart, there’s nowhere to hide And through my forehead I see to the other side I see it all and I see it all in my crystal ball belly I see it all and I see it all I’m no fool but I pretend I am Cos I don’t wanna get in trouble with the man And don’t you think it’s really about time now maam For you to fuck that plan and trust your seeing I was born with more than two hands Found a skirt of them growing out from the band Of my waist like invisible silken laced Feelers reading every space And in my heart a waterfall of hands Feel through everything that we have abandoned All that’s small, all that’s dark, all that’s delicate My many hands, many hands do comfort I feel it all and I feel it all in my tornado belly I feel it all and I feel it all I’m no robot but I pretend I am Cos I don’t wanna be belittled by the man And don’t you think it’s really about time now maam For you to fuck that plan and trust your feeling I see it all and I see it all in my crystal ball belly I see it all and I see it all I’m no fool why would I pretend? I feel it all and I feel it all in my tornado belly I feel it all and I feel it all I’m no robot but I pretend I am And now I’m really ready to be a woman So the time has come for me to Fuck the plan and trust seeing feeling

Rape is the war we are running from Another lucky escape walking on the streets alone at night Why can't I feel safe under the stars? This is my home Must I live in fear every day? It keeps us afraid of our beauty, hiding our fullness ashamed of our sensuality Why do we carry the shame of this, isn't it yours? You can see my power is in my body Is that why you want to take it? Your war is with yourself wont you leave me out of it Enough is enough. No more Whether you're a stranger, whether you’re a soldier Whether you’re a husband, whether you’re a father You cannot take away from her The very thing that gave you life in the first place No you can't take that by force So ask your heart if it exists anymore So ask your heart if it still beats in there Cos you can't take mine Rape is the war that continues Your weapon of choice is your very own body Under the cover of dark, in marriage beds, in nursery rooms We try not to talk too much about it cos its just too sad That this is how it is, or maybe we're trying to protect you Cos you lost your heart and you're hollow inside Take heart sister you're not on your own You might have no one to talk to but I feel you in my bones I can hear you, your tears are my tears, we'll rage together For this war on our home Our bodies are the earth and the earth is our body May we one day walk in a land where man knows his heart And his true power's found

A Wild Sea 03:26
Cover yourself in the finest oils, give yourself flowers Bathe yourself in rose petals and give yourself hours and hours alone Like you’re the only thing you own Let your hair go in the wind, let your body go, let it sing, move just as you want to like a wild sea Let your hair go in the wind, let your body go let it swim, move just as you want to like a wild sea Name every great thing you have been today You are seen in your own heart’s gaze You are the one Smother yourself in the softest clothes, eat like a lionness, save yourself from the merry go round of stories, drink from your presence alone, like it’s the only thing you own Let your hair go in the wind, let your body go, let it sing, move just as you want to like a wild sea Let your hair go in the wind, let your body go let it swim, move just as you want to like a wild sea Name every great thing you have been today You are seen in your own heart’s gaze You are the one

about

Seven years ago I left everything in my life, including my house, my relationship and my understanding of who I was. I left on my bicycle with my guitar on my back and moved into a tent.

Something was driving me, clawing at me, this wild woman who wanted to emerge. She would come to me in dreams, in a boat down the river, at night carrying a lantern.

She showed me all the things that had never been valued in my life, like chaos; irrationality; the kind of wisdom that knows nothing and everything at the same time; the beauty of emotions, vulnerability, simplicity and madness.

It was during these years as she came over me like a werewolf does, that I wrote the songs on this album.
