'When the Drummers Were Women; A Spiritual History of Rhythm' by Layne Redmond, $18.00 paperback
This comprehensive survey of spiritual beliefs includes beautiful black and white reproductions of female figures, both goddesses and celebrants. The number and variety of drums found in the pictures is delightful. Layne explains the part played by drumming in each of the eras and cultures from ancient Anatolia to modern Maine.
Also available are cassettes and videos on how to incorporate drumming into your spiritual practice. ('Being In Rhythm,' $9.98; 'A Sense of Time,' $24.95)
Both 'Circle of Stones' and its sequel 'I Sit Listening To the Wind' are available again with new covers. Short but powerful, Duerk makes the most of the question, "How might your life have been different?" to challenge us to tap inner visions which will turn our lives toward new and joyous directions.
Walsch completes the dialogue he began with God in 1992 with this volume covering universal truths. The difficult concepts of truth, joy, and love become manageable in his familiar format of question and answer.
The book reveals the connection between the colored band of energy that surrounds your body and your personality.
