:Of The Wand & The Moon: is the creative live and recorded music works of musician Kim Larsen from Denmark and various guest contributors.
After irreconcilable differences with his previous musical project, Saturnus, Larsen began writing music of a different vein, similar in style to his neofolk influences but very different than the doom metal he had previously created.
In 1999, the debut :Of The Wand & The Moon: album was released, entitled Nighttime Nightrhymes. Characterized by folk songs with themes ranging from expressions of love, loss, joy and ancestral Germanic paganism, the album was interspersed with experimental dark ambient pieces and tribal drumming. The album marked a new entry for Denmark in a new wave of Germanic post-industrial folk projects alongside contemporaries such as Forseti and Sonne Hagal.
2001 saw the release of a second :Of The Wand & The Moon: release entitled :Emptiness:Emptiness:Emptiness:, with refined production and a continued but expanded sound from previous work, the album further cemented the reputation of the project. A live version of :Of The Wand & The Moon: also debuted in 2001, beginning a long series of shows over the next few years.
After the release of a split album with Sol Invictus and a few vinyl singles, a collection of b-sides was released entitled Lucifer in 2003.

Guys, I've started a band recently and 'Of The Wand And The Moon' was one of my major influences, so I'd appreciate it if you checked out January Flower, downloaded and listened to the first song and left some piece of comment or advice for the future. Thanks a lot :)

I'd like to ask, in which language are "Sol ek sa" lyrics written? Is it in old danish/norse or just made-up language?
