PUBLICATIONS BY CAROLYN HILLYER

	NAMELESS DRUM Song Words and Other Voices A comprehensive collection of one hundred songs and chants. From the beginning we have created music and prayer with bone and wood and horn and skin and voice. Our drums were born from the raw fabric of the land, formed by our own hands from the gifts of nature. Our songs were simple and profound expressions of the many voices of the earth. The Nameless Drum is a collection of over one hundred songs, chants and other writings created by the Dartmoor musician and artist Carolyn Hillyer, and sourced from the sacred untamed land and the hidden memories of our ancestral mothers. These words, read without their music, reflect ancient and shamanic traditions of ritual poetry; celebrating rites of passage, seasonal blessings, cycles of life, journeys in death and many unusual perspectives on the wild earth and our primordial roots. This beautifully produced book is an excellent retrospective collection of over thirteen years of Carolyn’s work. Illustrated throughout with 48 monotone images from original paintings by Carolyn Hillyer. Includes the words from eight CD albums plus additional and new material. PRICE - £15.00 160 pp 180mmx210mm.

	THE ORACLE OF NIGHTS A Journey into the Cave by Carolyn Hillyer A powerful sourcebook that describes a cycle of work by Carolyn which binds together myth, ritual and a black-wrapped journey into the Cave, an intimate landscape of darkness and shadow. The Oracle is formed around encounters with five Protectors – Toad, Crow, Spider, Bat and Mare. It is a challenging and empowering quest into the far regions of fear and an exploration of the strength and beauty of the Night. The Oracle of Nights is accompanied by the album CAVE OF ELDERS. The sourcebook includes 5 full colour original prints of paintings that are only published in this format. It also contains contributions by women who have journeyed with Carolyn on the Oracle of Nights workshops. This publication is not available through shops.

THE NORTHERN SISTERHOOD OF DRUMS

This series of intense and powerful life-size paintings was created as part of Carolyn’s recent cycle of work inspired by the arctic landscape, including the album ICE: Cold Songs. Together the nine udegan (elder, witch, grandmother, shaman) in these images represent an experience of ancient ice, a journey into deeply rooted archetypes and a women’s mystery born twenty-five thousand years ago from the frozen lands.
