journey with laughing wolf...

- A Sacred Drumming CD mp3 for the Shamanic Journey...
- drummed by carol weaver...
This unique CD was recorded in real time (in sacred space) with no looping on a powerful 27-inch Qilaut frame drum made of a very thin goat hide and a white oak frame named "laughing wolf"...
From weaver... "i am honoured and awed to be the caretaker and carrier of grandmother "laughing wolf"... who is a powerful 27-inch qilaut wind drum... this CD was created to assist those on the shamanic path who wish to journey with her strong, sacred voice... the sound of this sacred large frame drum will take you to very deep places and spaces in the shamanic landscape..."
Kalaallit elder and teacher Angaangaq shares a deep teaching of the qilaut drum...
"Qilaut, the Eskimo wind drum, is a circle that has no beginning nor ending, in which we all belong... the great creator who made us—holds the handle and every time creator touches upon the rim, creator hears the heart-beat of humankind. The stronger the heartbeat the healthier humankind is." - Angaangaq
This CD has three movements of shamanic journey drumming tracks...

song to the apukuna - a 50-min drum/chant meditation CD/mp3...

- for Journeying, Meditation and Ceremony...
• Click to hear/buy mp3 version >>
..."song to the apukuna" is a 50-minute meditative song-prayer and journey in honour of the sacred apu (mountain) spirits. Sung in Quechua & English and played entirely on the rim of the qilaut wind drum named "laughing wolf"... a sacred mountain drum... the apu song...
"Apukuna", the plural of "Apu"...in the indigenous Quechua language of Peru means "mountain spirit"—a sacred being that not only gives presence to the physical mountain but offers dialogue with a "paqo" (one who walks a spiritual path) who is in service to that apu/mountain... one can be in service to more than one apu...
Apus are the highest level of nature energy and are the most important spiritual guides within the Andean shamanic system... "humpui, humpuay" loosely translated means, "come to me, come to me"...

What weaver says about her writing of "song to the apukuna"...
"The vision of "song to the apukuna" comes from a very deep place from within our blessed earth mother, Pachamama and the Apukuna mountain spirits - this is their song... a teaching and a gift... it is their call to us to remember who we truly are... to dream our becoming into being... to return to Ayni of right relationship and, once again walk in balance with all... within, around, above and below... "
"I dedicate this movement of music and song to don Manuel Quispe (1905-2004) and the Q'ero mountain people of Peru who have freely shared their medicine & love of our blessed earth mother, Pachamama... it has been truly an honour and a blessing to share this with all of you, my beautiful Ayllu..." - weaver (((o)))

What others have said about song to the apukuna...
"Everytime I listen to carol weaver's "song to the apukuna" it takes me on a musical journey. This unique musical piece weaves my mind through a story. Each time I indulge, the story changes depending on my mood and what's happening at the moment in my life. I highly recommend this CD to the musical and/or spiritually conscious.
- J. DeTracey, Vancouver, BC Canada apu song
"Oh my God!!!!!!!!! Your voice... it is, it becomes, something way more than a human voice, it sounds to me as the voice of something that does not live here, but in some magnificent dimension that we are all seeking to reach... well, I'm not quite sure how to explain, but now this piece has surpassed heart level mantra/puja to something even bigger... I heard power, strength and also sweet soothing feminine. You sang to those mountains like a sweet celestial lover."
- M. Metcalf, Victoria BC Canada
"From my heart to yours, thank-you weaver for "song to the apukuna". This truly is a work inspired. It reasonates with the ancientness of my soul. Grounding me to the Mother while calling to the power and strength of our sacred mountains. It is vast, yet deeply intimate. Be it for ceremony or meditation, "song to the apukuna" honor both."
- In munay, love P. Jensen , Heffley Creek, BC Canada
"I began my journey into shamanism when I fell in love with Apu Ausangate in 1996. Sitting in the lap of that mountain, with the Southern Cross wheeling above me, I listened to the Q'ero medicine people sing their love, and their profound respect and honour to their Apu. In this CD, carol weaver has captured the essence of that heartfelt love for all of our great Apu sprits. Ho!"
- L. Summerlot Zammuto, Melbourne, Australia
"Hi carol... Have "song to the apukuna" playing here, again and just wanted to say that I think it is a really extraordinary piece. Your freedom from "performing" and "the song" is palpable and the flow of it all is pure magic. Thanks so much for doing it - it's fast become a real favorite, right up there with some of TKs sound work.
- Love, R. Ellis, Victoria, BC Canada
"I am preparing a talk...on the Spirit of the Drum. When I listened to "song to the apukuna", I thought immediately of using it to introduce the drum as sacred partner on the journey to the word of spirit.
