The Music you are listening to was commissioned by Jane Collings to accompany a forthcoming illustrated book called Birthing With The Goddess. Although the material is designed to support and enhance the journey of pregnancy and birthing the music carries a broader scope for a variety of listeners; hence this independently available release as Echoes Of The Goddess.
We have composed music inspired by 11 ancient feminine archetypal figures. In some traditions (e.g Greek) these are called goddesses and are viewed as deities to be worshipped. In others (e.g. Intuit, Native American) they take the form of spirit helpers, vast beings certainly but not worshipped in any hierarchical sense. We have used "goddess" in the title for brevity and flow and we respect and in no way seek to co-opt and one belief system or cultural tradition into another.
