"The Original"
Return to the Goddess by Desert Wind
This recording had never been released on CD until the Fall of 2004, yet it had been ordered “by the hundreds” by dance instructors and their students as a cassette since originally released in the 1980’s. Alan happened to “find” the original DAT tape, and as cassettes have been essentially replaced by CDs, well, Alan decided to release this CD for Desert Wind fans who just won’t let go of the request for this music.
Alan had to actually borrow a copy of the original cassette from Thia in order to list the songs as they were originally known.
This CD is now available through the Desert Wind Website for die hard Desert Wind fans.

Our Success Stories
New Age Retailer, 2008: "Musical celebration reawakening and greeting the feminine divine. Shekhinah's love, light, power and mystery are revealed through the muti-cultural rhythms and sounds of Desert Wind. Glorious female vocals illuminate Her secrets from the Torah, Talmud, Zohar and Kabbalah."
Desert Wind - Shekhina, Hebrew Goddess This 1993 release, subtitled Restoring the Balance, is about Shekhina, the Hebrew Goddess of the Kabbala; the music and lyrics contain a blend of Middle Eastern, Spanish, Celtic, and Hindustani influences... about half in Hebrew and half in English. Sources are Old Testament, Talmud and Kabbalistic writings, showing the survival of the triple goddess in the basic foundations of Judaism. Extensive liner note; a full 79 minutes in length; unique and recommended! Cassette: 9.98...CD: 15.98
"Shekhina, Hebrew Goddess: Restoring the Balance" Desert Wind. Produced by Alan Scott Bachman 1993. This is a collection of original music and traditional tunes centered around the Hebrew Goddess-figure Shekhina, who is considered to be the manifestation of divine energy. The liner notes are scholarly, informative and extensive. Twenty-two musicians playing fifty or so different instruments...the sound is sometimes Middle Eastern (there are some pieces suitable for belly dancing) sometimes Celtic, sometimes New Age. Harp has fun on cuts 1, 6, and 8 through 10. I had a lot of fun with this one and it was a real change of pace for a Celtic harper. See what you think!
The Indian musical influence of the sarod and tabla is unmistakable in Shekhina, Hebrew Goddess by Desert Wind. The underlying theme of this deeply spiritual work, masterminded by Alan Scott Bachman, is the need to restore a balance to our spiritual lives. It is music with soul-searching meaning for an active meditative state of mind. For the pure music lovers, there is exotic music galore: rich and spicy Indian melodies with an Oriental matrix overlaid with Western rhythms on guitar and synthesizer. Religious and world music aficionados will recognize and enjoy the sound of the shofar or ram's horn in "Goddess of Peace."
