- Alternative Character Interpretation:
- The faeries in "Changeling Child" — were they simply Literal-Minded and unable to comprehend that the woman's request for a baby meant one who would grow up normally, or did they purposely give her exactly what she asked for and not what she wanted?
- Occurs In-Universe in "Joan", where the titular character is shown as a Knight Templar Dark Action Girl in contrast to her usual saintly presentation.
- "Triumphant Return" is Penelope giving Odysseus a What the Hell, Hero? speech for the twenty years he spent fighting the Trojan War and his adventures on the way home, while she was left to raise their son and rule his kingdom on top of having to deal with all her suitors.
- Applicability: Given in recent years people have noticed that the legend of the changelings has a lot in common with traits associated with Autism, many have taken the Song "Changeling Child" as an anthem, with the child never changing and the worried mother forever fretting as a parellel to their own.
- Designated Hero: More than a few commentators on YouTube have noted that the extreme willingness of the narrator of "I Follow My King" to strike people down for minor offences makes them sound more like an Axe-Crazy Sycophantic Servant than a loyal follower.
- Friendly Fandoms: Due to them both being Celtic-influenced Canadian musicians whose music is heavily inspired by myth, folklore and religion, there's a lot of overlap between fans of Heather and Loreena McKennitt.
- Fridge Horror: "Fair Folk" gives some rather nasty implications about "Changeling Child". Taken by itself, the listener could interpret the latter ballad as a tragedy of miscommunication, with the fairies simply being too Literal-Minded to understand what the heroine wanted. However, "Fair Folk" paints the fairies in a more ominous light, giving the idea that they may have purposely ruined her life with Exact Words for no apparent reason.
- Heartwarming Moments: The chorus of "Each Step"Dry your eyes, it's no cause to weep
The weather is fine and the road isn't steep
The world is still round, my compass it true
Each step is a step back to you. - Nightmare Fuel:
- While the lyrics of "Changeling Child" come across more as mournful than as creepy, the melody behind it is pretty haunting. It's especially noticeable at the beginning, before the song has properly started. There's nothing but eerie woodwinds. The lyrics themselves hold a fair amount of Fridge Horror, though — The Fair Folk ruined this woman's life, and quite possibly her death as well, because of a mistake. Imagine what would happen if the faeries were trying to be cruel...
- "Fair Folk" has somewhat eerie music, but what caps it off is the lyrics. The narrator warns the listener not to come to places where faeries might dance after nightfall and advises them to ward off any that come visiting with Cold Iron. In contrast to the common perception of them, this song clearly portrays the uneasiness with which people once regarded The Fair Folk.
- Rooting for the Empire:
- The comments for "Crashing Down" indicate that many see Mordred (the narrator, per Word of God) as a heroic rebel against an unjust system rather than the villainous figure he is in Arthurian Legend
- Some people see the devil in "Black Fox" as the good guy and the fox hunters as deserving his taunting for being fox hunters.
- Signature Song: "Mordred's Lullaby."
- Spiritual Adaptation: If you browse through the comments section, you'll see that many people regard "Kingsword" as unofficially about The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, with Excalibur being the Master Sword.
- Watch It for the Meme: The instrumental opening to her recording of "This Endris Night" was widely used for the "Medieval" Memes on YTMND.com.
