The medicine drum is an ancient tool for healing and transformation. It has a cultural history as a sacred tool in women’s spirituality and religious life. In her book, When the Drummers Were Women, Layne Raymond traces the history of the drum, acknowledging the importance of this tool in women’s ceremonies, rites of passages, and spiritual experiences across the globes.

“The Drum was the means our ancestors used to summon the Goddess and the instrument through which she Spoke. The drumming Priestess was the intermediary between Divine and human realms. Aligning Herself with sacred rhythms, she acted as a summoner and transformer, invoking Divine energy and transmitting it to the community.

Because drumming was recognized as an ancient source and symbol of the power of Female technicians (healers) of the Sacred, drumming was banned. Henceforth divinity was to be exclusively masculine. The suppression of women was directly linked to the suppression of the Goddess.”
