Loreena McKennitt was just (well… a few weeks ago) awarded an honorary doctorate of letters by Wilfred Laurier University. Read her acceptance speech here. If you haven’t heard of her, might I *VERY* highly recommend that you check her out? A lot of people complain about the Wiccan influences in her music but a lot of her music also draws from Christian sources as well as some really amazing poetry such as Tennyson’s “The Lady of Shallot” and Shakespeare’s works.
