5.0 out of 5 stars Mesmerizing, May 11, 2002

By	Kathryn Degler "songbird" (Kansas City) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

A friend played this for me and then let me borrow it for a few days. The chant sings in my head even when the recording has ended. I can't imagine not having my own copy. It's wonderful for meditation and trance work. Also for long periods of concentration. The music is a ritual in itself -- invoking the Mother Goddess and honoring her with different names. The music was recorded in the Oracle Chamber in the Hypogeum at Hal Salfieni, built by the neolithic peoples of Malta. It starts out with tones sung through an aperture in the rock that causes sounds to resound throughout the Hypogeum. Then Jennifer adds her guitar and chant: "Returning, returning, returning to the Mother of us all." Other voices weave in and out with a chant to Yemayah, the African ocean mother goddess, a Navajo chant for Mother Earth, and a chant from the Buddhist Heart Sutra to evoke the Goddess of Perfect Wisdom. Enjoy!

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing, August 30, 2003

By	merrymousies (Waterford, VA USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)

This CD starts out with a mesmorizing sound deep in an old sacrd site - the breathing you can hear just immediately give a calming sense. The cd is one long song that transforms, like with her other CD, Praises fro the World. Its just an amazing sound throughout the cd with the singing of Returning that runs throughout. There are some indian chants and other sounds on the cd as well. A real masterful work. It just makes you want to go outside barefoot, breathe deeply and grip the earth with your toes.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is an amazing CD!, October 15, 2005

By	S. Edwards (Colorado, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This has become my new most favorite CD. It is absolutely beautiful and I listen to it during the day and often I drift off to sleep to it at night. I highly recommend it for all that are in love with the planet and want to be touched to the core of their soul.
