Editorial Reviews

Ancient Mother, by Robert Gass. Savor it as the spirit of the Great Goddesses comes to life as traditional female singers, priestesses and shamans from Celtic, Afro-American Yoruba, Hawaiian, Indian, Hungarian and Native American traditions are joined by the renowned "On Wings of Song" singers. The music on Ancient Mother is ageless yet contemporary, with styles ranging from the 11th Century plainsong of Hildegard of Bingen to ecstatic gospel rock, each engulfed in a lush symphony of birds, cicadas, crickets, humpback whales, ocean waves, and flowing rivers. Enjoy to the fullest Ancient Mother, a truly wonderful CD.- Ancient Mother, by Robert Gass, brings the spirit of the Great Goddess to life. Ancient Mother will lift your spirits as you sing to the Greatness of the Ancient Goddesses.

5.0 out of 5 stars Open Minds to all kinds of Love, May 7, 2005

This review is from: Ancient Mother (Audio CD)

From the mystical aspects of chanting the many Goddess names in Ancient Mother, to the joyful beat of Puna is Dancing, to the mothers grief of loosing a son in Mary's Keen, this is a CD that will take you through many moods of the Goddess herself. I have read some reviews where people were complaining about what they percieved as some Christian-based songs on the CD. However,I have found this CD to be music honoring the many different views of The Mother from around the world, and for some people, that Mother happens to be the Mother of Jesus Christ. Why is this a problem? Love is Love and this CD does an awesome job of expressing that. It is the nature of the female aspect of our Creator to be a unifier, not a separator, and one who truly follows the ways of the Goddess should realize that. I believe the CD does a wonderful job of honoring many different aspects of the Goddess frokm cultures all around the world.

This is very beautyful. I listen to it often. The music is done in diffrent styles. You dont have one type. Here you have Santarian, Hawaiin, Hindu, and more. Some song are sung in english and others in diffrent languages. If you love the Goddess and chorua music (not all of it is chorus) then you just may enjoy Ancient Mother very much. The music and singing are so devotional and so full of love and beauty. I especially love the song Ancient mother and Kali bhajan very much. Blessed Be the goddesses. Jai Ma!

By far one of the best and most energizing cd's I own. The music, the sounds, the energy just sweeps you away into a frienzied dance of power and spirit that is rushes through the room. My favorite track, The circle is cast, is by far the most moving and motivating song I have ever heard, for me and my friend who have heard it, it has become a regular part of our daily ritual. Well done!
