Book Synopsis When The Drummers Were Women: A Spiritual History of Rhythm by : Layne Redmond
Download or read book When The Drummers Were Women: A Spiritual History of Rhythm written by Layne Redmond and published by Echo Point Books & Media, LLC. This book was released on 2021-08-05 with total page 582 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For millennia, the sacred drummers of pre-Christian Mediterranean and western Asia were women. In this inspiring book, Layne Redmond, herself a renowned drummer, tells their history. Artistic representations reveal that female frame drummers carried the spiritual traditions of many of the earliest recorded civilizations. During those ancient times, the drummer-priestesses held the keys to experience of the divine through rhythm. They were at the center of the goddess worship of matriarchal societies until the ascendance of patriarchal cultures and the loss of drumming as a spiritual technology. With wisdom and passion, Redmond chronicles our species’ deep connection to the drum, our rich heritage of inseparable spirituality and music, and the modern-day women reclaiming it. This book encourages readers—both women and men—to reestablish rhythmic links with themselves, nature, and other people through the power of drumming. Redmond illustrates her message with an extensive collection of images gathered during ten years of research and travel. Woven throughout the book are strands of ancient ritual and mythology, personal stories, and scientific evidence of the benefits of drumming. It is at once a history, a memoir, and a resounding call for spiritual and social renewal.

Download or read book I Ching written by Michael Drake and published by Talking Drum Publications. This book was released on 2010-10-22 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this user-friendly interpretation of the I Ching, Michael Drake presents drumming as a revolutionary way to approach the ancient Chinese oracle. A synthesis of shamanic drum ways and Taoist philosophy, it provides for the first time the rhythmic structure of the 64 hexagrams or potential human situations. Drum patterns derived from the hexagram images render the essence of each archetype of experience into sound, giving it physical, mental, and spiritual impulse. Through the natural law of resonance, the drummer then embodies the qualities and attributes necessary to effect change or harmonize with change in any given situation. With clear and practical explanations of each of the 64 hexagrams along with useful exercises and illustrations, the author demonstrates how drumming these simple rhythm archetypes brings the essential self into accord with the pattern or way of cyclical change, and that way is known as Tao. EPUB Format for Adobe, Stanza, iPad, Sony, Blackberry, iPhone, and other eBook Readers.
Book Synopsis Sacred Drums of Siberia by : Nicholas Breeze Wood
Download or read book Sacred Drums of Siberia written by Nicholas Breeze Wood and published by . This book was released on 2020-09-16 with total page 62 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the popular imagination, shamans and drums go together like bread and butter.No-one knows the historical origin of drums, but they have certainly been made and played by people for thousands of years. Part of the way animal skins are prepared for eventual use as clothing or other things, is to stretch them on a frame so they dry flat, and if you tap such a skin drying on its frame, it sounds like a drum. I suspect these drying skins were probably the first drums ever made, and eventually the stretching frame became the drum frame.It is now fairly-well known that the word shaman comes from Siberia, and it is in this vast geographical area that shamanism proper is still to be found.Nowadays the word 'shamanism' has become a rather general word, applied to all sorts of practices - many of which are unrelated to the word's original meaning. Alongside this, many of the spiritual practices of the world's 'first-nations' have also become labeled as 'shamanic, ' although some anthropologists do not consider real shamanism to be found anywhere outside of Siberia. But if we allow a much wider definition of shamanism, and say that many forms of shamanic spirituality occur across the planet, we would still have to admit that many of them do not use drums at all in their shamanism, and those that do, don't use them like the shamans of Central Asia and Siberia, as these people have an unique understanding of the sacred role of the spirit of the drum.Indeed, the drum is so important to Siberian shamanism, that beginning in 1929 the Soviet clamp-down on shamanism - and the turning of shamans from figures of social importance to 'enemies of the people, ' was achieved largely by the destruction or confiscation of their drums. The same thing was done to the Sami shamans of Finland by the Christian Lutheran Church in the previous century. The Church had a habit of burning the drums, although a few - together with some of the Siberian drums taken by the Communists - were kept and put into museums.All the drums used in Siberian shamanism are the type known as 'frame drums.' A frame drum is made by stretching an animal skin over a frame of wood. This frame is generally made from a long thin strip of wood, bent into a rough circle - the two ends of the plank being joined together in some way to keep the hoop closed and firmly fixed.However, wood does not have to be the only material for drum frames. A traditional shaman's drum from Manchuria in Northern China has a thin metal frame with metal jingles attached to it. But whether of metal, or wood, or even plastic - as found on some modern drums - these type of drums are all known as frame drums. Frame drums occur all over the world, from the shaman's drums of Siberia, to the bodhran of Ireland, the bendir of North Africa and the daf of Persia. They are probably the oldest form of drum on earth. Frame drums like this also occur amongst the native peoples of America. - no doubt related to the shamanic drums of their ancestral homelands on the steppes of Central Asia, where the people lived before they migrated across the land bridge that once connected the two continents. However the 'medicine' drums of North America do not have the same degree of sacred lore as their Siberian cousins have.

Book Synopsis Dreaming the Soul Back Home by : Robert Moss
Download or read book Dreaming the Soul Back Home written by Robert Moss and published by New World Library. This book was released on 2012-05-08 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this extraordinary book, shamanic dream teacher Robert Moss shows us how to become shamans of our own souls and healers of our own lives. The greatest contribution of the ancient shamans to modern healing is the understanding that in the course of any life we are liable to suffer soul loss — the loss of parts of our vital energy and identity — and that to be whole and well, we must find the means of soul recovery. Moss teaches that our dreams give us maps we can use to find and bring home our lost or stolen soul parts. He shows how to recover animal spirits and ride the windhorse of spirit to places of healing and adventure in the larger reality. We discover how to heal ancestral wounds and open the way for cultural soul recovery. You’ll learn how to enter past lives, future lives, and the life experiences of parallel selves and bring back lessons and gifts. “It’s not just about keeping soul in the body,” Moss writes. “It’s about growing soul, becoming more than we ever were before.” With fierce joy, he incites us to take the creator’s leap and bring something new into our world.
