What is Shamanism?
Over tens of thousands of years, our ancient ancestors all over the
world discovered how to maximize human abilities of mind and spirit
for healing and problem-solving. The remarkable system of methods
they developed is today known as "shamanism," a term that comes
from a Siberian tribal word for its practitioners: "shaman"
(pronounced SHAH-mahn). Shamans are a type of medicine man or woman
especially distinguished by the use of journeys to hidden worlds
otherwise mainly known through myth, dream, and near-death
experiences. Most commonly they do this by entering an altered
state of consciousness using monotonous percussion sound.
What are Animal Totems?
In earlier days we understood that we were simply a part of the
earth. We knew we were only one small part. Now many think humans
are the greatest and most important part. But still, we are only a
part of the earth, only a part of nature, only a child of Mother,
only a part of Spirit. We used to know respect of Nature and killed
only what we ate and used only the skins of what we killed and ate.
We did not waste life nor disrespect spirits but honored and
thanked them for providing us with life, nourishment, and comfort.
In earlier days we gave recognition to the power of the animal
spirits by wearing skins, masks, mimicking, singing praise, and
prayers to specific animals. We painted the animals on our homes,
caves, death chambers, and asked the Spirit to guide us to the
animal that we consumed and bless the spirit of the animal we kill
for we are a predator in the part of Nature and we honored the
spirit of our prey. These acts allowed us to remain linked to the
animal guides and to accept the power they offer us in lessons, in
life, and in death. It reminded us that all animals, were our
sisters, brothers, and cousins and most importantly our teachers
and our friends. It reminded us that we too are animals with
spirit.
The Natural Power of animal totems has not been lost. They still
hold the power and the knowledge we can use. Only we must remember
how to be One with Nature and all that is, has been, and will be.
Cultures of the past understood the connections. We must not lose
this connection now that we are 'cultured'. For what was will
always be and all those cultures could not have been wrong. There
is a reason that Spirit has put all of us together, has given us so
many healing stones, and has given us medicine, for the body and
the spirit. We are all one. Using Animal Totems will allow you to
see and love the earth better, to know life better, to know
yourself better, and to commune better with Mother and Spirit. You
can be healthier and happier physically, mentally, emotionally, and
spiritually in understanding and honoring your animal totems.
Animals come to us because they have a lesson we need to learn a
power they are willing to share with a friend. They seek to give us
a gift of understanding, universal love, energy, and knowledge. In
general, animals remind us that we are part of the earth; that each
creature has a place; that each creature has a skill of it's own;
that we have instincts given to us from Mother, wisdom born to us
that we must awaken. The Animal Totem that comes to you offers you
power and wisdom if you will learn to communicate with it, with
respect, trust, and understanding. Developing a relationship with a
live animal totem takes time, practice, patience and could be very
dangerous. Having an animal totem does not mean that you are to pet
the animal or even be with it physically. Having an animal totem
means that you have lessons to learn and a powerful spiritual
friend.
Each animal has it's own special power and message, for each animal
has a powerful spirit and an inherent skill. Animal Spirits choose
a person to be a companion to, a friend to, not the other way
around. Animals are wondrous happy creatures...
What are Rain Sticks?
Rainsticks for centuries have been used in ceremonial rituals by
various groups to bring rain to badly needed areas. Their name
describes the soothing rain-like sound that these instruments
produce. The rain stick was used by these groups to illustrate to
the Gods that rain was badly needed. Held by either end, and tilted
slightly, small pebbles inside will trickle down through sharp
thorns to create the sound of rain falling from the heavens. Rain
sticks are made from wood skeletons of dead Quiso or Copado cactus
plant. The cacti grow in the northern deserts of Chile, and have a
short plant life of about seventy years. When the cacti die,
artisans in Chili gather the deadwood called Normata and hand
select branches suitable for Rain sticks. Each Rain stick is unique
and hand crafted to recreate the original look and sound of those
used centuries ago. Today, the Rain sticks have a variety of uses;
from musical instruments to home decorating. Because of their
variety of uses and uniqueness, rain sticks make the perfect
gift.
According to South American legend, rainsticks are played to
serenade the gods as a reminder that rain is welcomed.
