Invocation to Free Women

A Musical and Poetic Narrative
Unfolding the Continuum of Goddess Spirituality

 

Invocation to Free Women is a 2007 CD re-release of a 1987 collaborative recording produced by Ruth Barrett and Felicity Artemis Flowers.

 

Invocation to Free Women features a series of narrations, songs and spoken word pieces performed both acappella and with instrumental accompaniment. The CD features poetry, lyrics and chants by Ruth Barrett, Felicity Artemis Flowers, Susan North, Z Budapest, Starhawk, Shekhinah Mountainwater, and Cassandra Sagan.

 

This recording was first created in 1987 when the Goddess Movement was in its second decade. Its message continues to live and inspire new generations of women discovering Goddess and woman-centered spirituality in many forms. I decided to re-release Invocation To Free Women on CD, with the original cover art by Asungi, in honor of the 35th anniversary of the Dianic tradition and to celebrate the evolution of a movement that continues to heal our souls. - Ruth Barrett
