Summary:
In this lavishly illustrated book, drummer Layne Redmond presents an empowering narrative history of the sacred drum in the ancient Goddess civilization, using her extensive collection of images gathered during more than five years of research and travel in the Mideast and Europe. 80 photos & drawings. She recounts women as drummers and leaders of ritual, giving readers a captivating visual confirmation of the vitality and power of a goddess-oriented tradition. Bringing together current scientific research into the harmonious effects of rhythm on the body, mind and spirit, Redmond shows how women today can reclaim drumming as a spiritual heritage and sacred technology that celebrates the unity of natural cycles of earth, cosmos, and human body.
