    Inspiration behind Clan Mother Incantations:

    This compilation of soundscapes is the outcome of a ritual of recording sessions carried out on eve of the new moon for one yearly cycle.
    I created these sounds with one microphone, self created + found field recordings, and a wide range of healing instruments.

    I also used the Thirteen Original Clan Mothers’ medicine wheel as a muse for this experiment. This medicine wheel is based on the thirteen moons of the year, with twelve positions around the wheel and the thirteenth in the center. As a whole, the Clan Mothers represent Life, Unity, and Equality for Eternity. Each individual Clan Mother offers a particular inclusive teaching bestowed through a story that both children and adults can connect with. I learned these stories through the writings and interpretations of Jamie Sams, member of the Wolf Clan Teaching Lodge, who was taught by her Kiowa Grandmother Wisdom Keepers.

    These soundscapes do not represent the Clan Mothers' stories in their entirety, nor claim mastery of their venerable teachings, which have been passed through the oral traditions of a wide range of Native communities throughout the world. Rather I use the core lesson of each story to inspire the medicine melody, incantation, and instrumentation of each composition.

    “The Thirteen Clan Mothers are the Mothers of all races and represent the healing potential present on our planet. The Knowing Systems they represent are the foundations of Truth that show us how to nurture humankind’s dream of achieving wholeness…This legacy is not from one particular Tribe or Nation…it is gathered from all places and belongs to all the Children Of The Earth…These Medicine Stories and Traditions are my giveaway to human beings everywhere, so that we may continue to dream the dream, and to dance the dance of Creation…”

1.
Incantation: I tune into the rhythms of my surroundings. I listen to the rhythms of the tides and to my own body's cycles. I rest when my body's rhythms are being pushed beyond their capacity to endure. I allow myself to ground into my earth body, to stand tall, to be a silent observer, to honor my surroundings, to give and receive in perfect balance. I use my intuition to support and speak my truth. I am listening.
2.
Incantation: Ancient knowing lives within me. I create space to connect daily with the natural wisdom that comes from integrating my life experience into the present moment. I design divine timing through trust in my process. I fulfill my destiny by developing my abilities and using them to support my path to wholeness. I choose to experience life as a gift, and remember to carry this awareness through confusion, challenge and even crisis. I embrace obstacles as opportunities for self development. By walking my path and living my Truth I draw in people and animals who would benefit from all I have to offer. I am ready and willing to share my gifts with all who ask and want to listen. I claim no ownership over my Knowing System and respect the infinite, intertwining Truths of every race, creed, culture, life form, tribe + tradition. I reverberate with love.
3.
Incantation: I bring awareness into my body through breath, claiming space for nourishment and communion with the grounding pulse of Mother Earth. I slow down to digest details and distinctions that cultivate a comprehensive perspective, entraining with rhythms that expand my point of view. I embrace the unknown with calm curiosity, welcoming change and seeking clarity with unconditional love. May my thoughts, words and actions be guided by reverence for the One breath breathing us all. *the medicine melody in this soundscape offers the word Tiyoweh, which means stillness.
4.
Incantation: I trust into the potency of dreamtime + waking visions, empowering extrasensory impressions to illuminate my path to wholeness. I fine tune my second sight by choosing to explore the substance of signs + sensations discovered in both visible and invisible realms. I absorb lessons found within my direct surroundings and access new dimensions through the natural world, welcoming the wisdom of sentient beings everywhere.
5.
Incantation: I use this time to listen, breathe, and take notice of how my soul is moving in this moment. I let down my guard, and soften, once again, into the life that has chosen me. I welcome what is, what comes, and what wants to be heard within. Love is listening. The medicine melody in this soundscape offers the Native American phrase Hail-Oh-Way-An, which refers to a non verbal language of love learned through deep listening used to communicate messages of pure truth from the heart.
6.
Incantation: Today I will remember not to take myself too seriously. Today I choose to greet all that feels heavy and chaotic with levity and repose. Warmth is invoked with my smile... so today I will make sure to share a grin with a stranger, co-worker, or friend. The lightness of being lives in laughter, so today I will allow humor to lighten the burden of my tender heart.
7.
Incantation: I face my shadow with a tender heart, and a willingness to not know, let go, and return home to myself. I reclaim my rich internal resources by surrendering judgement and blame, making room to cultivate greater compassion for all my relations. May empathy guide me into forgiveness and healing so I can reach out to life with unconditional love.
8.
Incantation: I attune with the illuminating forces of the sun and moon, igniting my capacity to nourish new creation. Pure potential dwells inside me, waiting to warm the world with love all ways.
9.
Incantation: The promise of tomorrow lives within me. As a citizen of the universe I acknowledge my responsibility to preserve + protect mother earth’s precious resources. I am willing to change my personal behaviors to adapt to the world’s ever changing conditions. I strengthen my stamina in support of strategies, solutions and contributions to my community. I embody the changes I wish to see in support of future generations and my planetary family.

Gives Praise 12:24
Incantation: Magic is nothing more than a change in consciousness, and the wonder of life will always shine in the presence of humility + faithful gratitude. Knowing this, I manifest my magical powers with a willingness to evolve, and offer my deepest thanks for this gift of life, the air I breathe, for the Sun and Moon and Mother Earth, for the opportunity to ride the waves of our wild world! I give thanks for the challenges that build strength, the difficulties that encourage right attitude, for the loss that slowly guides me toward the freedom found in letting go. Praise be! Praise Be! Praise this blessed life!

Incantation: I am the moment I decide to be and trust in my evolving dream
