Layne Redmond
“At the end, as at the beginning, stands the archetypal power of the Divine Feminine—the goddess. She is our future as she was our past. With her drum in hand, playing her sacramental rhythms, women can once again take their place in the world as technicians of the sacred.
In the pulse of my drum, in the beat of my heart, I erect an altar to her forever.”
— Layne Redmond, When the Drummers Were Women
