Some are so skilled at drumming, they can duplicate the rhythms
of various animals. This is used to facilitate a shapeshifting, an aligning with the
archetypal forces represented by the animal.
--Ted Andrews, Animal Speak
Power animal drumming is a shamanic way to evoke and internalize animal archetypes. An animal archetype represents the spirit and attributes of the entire species of that animal. Shamanism is the endeavor to cultivate ongoing relationships with power animals to gain insight, healing methods, and other vital information that can benefit the community. When an animal spirit is invoked, there is often an accompanying rhythm that comes through. Shamans frequently use these unique rhythms to summon their helping spirits for the work at hand. The spirit calling rhythms on this album evolved over many years through me and fellow shamanic circle drummers as gifts from our animal relations to all who seek the oneness of everything. Evocative drum rhythms, rattles, flutes, didgeridoos, animal calls, nature sounds, and synthesizers connect you with the collective strength and wisdom of power animals.

Reviews:
"Well done! Some really nice tracks with excellent stereo field."
--Lawrence M. Barker, Audio Field Recorder
"Sweet Medicine Music! I highly recommend this therapeutic
recording. The healing rhythms resonate deep within and stimulate the release of
unexpressed feelings and emotions. The music has wonderful transportive qualities;
resounding drums and plaintive flutes lull one into a dreamy spirit flight. Many tracks
can be looped for continuous play for extended meditation or journeying. I recommend
headphones for the richest listening experience. Well done Michael Drake!" 5
Stars.

-- Sharon Davenport Amazon Reviews
"Listening, "Turtle Shaker" has me 'air shaking/rattling' my empty
hands. Spirit-filled, I slowly circle the hearth room of my home. Then come mourning
doves calling. Now I am walking through cottonwood leaves among the elder trees beside
salmon stream. Eagle beat lifts me up and carries me high above the Earth, soaring,
seeing. And on the drum beats go--even as they call in these power animal spirits,
these guides and protectors of my spirit, I am transported to other realms where my
heart is gladdened and my spirit at peace and enlivened, refreshed. As the drum beats
roll on, cultures call to me from around the globe, "We are One;" Michael's gift to all
of us. My heart is filled with joy anew, reconnected to my roots. My deepest gratitude
goes to you Michael."
