One-hour ONLINE program in which you will

💜 DISCOVER the relevance of these hand-held percussion instruments in Ancient Egypt
💜 LEARN how they can be used as sacred instruments today
💜 PLAY a simple rhythm pattern
💜 PARTICIPATE in a co-creative experience

Learn about the Systrum, an ancient Egyptian hand-held percussion instrument with cymbals that slide on transverse bars creating a shimmering jingle when shaken, a predecessor to the tambourine often played along with the frame drum.

The systrum was played in combination with the frame drum in temple ceremony and community processions. It was also used as a sacred implement in ceremonial ritual, especially associated with the Goddess Hathor*

*whose many epithets included Nourisher of the Fields, Sovereign of the Stars, Mistress of Music & Dance

Make acquaintance with women and men all around our spinning galactic dance floor as Hathor is making Her presence known; we are a connected network across the planet being beckoned by the Goddess to be “Light in the world” which reminds me of a few words from a Hymn to Hathor in Normandi Ellis’ book “Awakening Osiris: The Spiritual Keys to the Egyptian Book of the Dead” ~

Go then and make of the world something beautiful, set up a light in the darkness.
