A shamanic drum lives.* In the center of the Drum is the Spirit. The Spirit of the Drum.<\/p>\n
This is what we believe and what we have experienced with the drum. During trance journeys, you come to know your drum and the unique qualities of that specific drum, and the spirit of the drum comes to life. <\/p>\n
The making of the drum is not called a birth process without reason.<\/p>\n
The drum comes to life the moment you have performed the ceremonies surrounding its creation. In ceremony, the drum reveals its intention to you. And that is when your journey together truly begins. <\/p>\n
The drum is alive physically as well. The skin responds to the physical conditions of its environment. In a warm, dry space, the skin tightens slightly, while in a cold, humid environment it absorbs moisture and expands. Caring for your shamanic drum is essential. <\/p>\n
In too dry, warm environments or in direct sunlight, the skin can shrink so much that too much tension is put on the frame. The frame can therefore break. To avoid this, never put the Drum outside in direct sunlight or uncovered in a hot car. Do you want to play the Drum or is the warm dry environment unavoidable, spray the Drum regularly with a spray bottle. Our spray bottle<\/a> is filled with 100% sage hydrolate so that in addition to moistening, the Drum is also energetically cleansed. <\/p>\n When the drum is kept in a cold, humid environment, the skin absorbs moisture and the tension decreases. The sound of the drum may become dull because the vibration can no longer fully resonate. You can gently warm the drum near a radiator or by the warmth of a (camp)fire. <\/p>\n Drying out for the skin causes it to become more porous. To slow down that process, we have developed a special wax in collaboration with Carla Donkers of kruidjeleven.nl.<\/a> This wax<\/a> has a perfect composition of beeswax and almond oil. <\/p>\n Especially during the winter months, when your drum is kept in a warm, dry space, it is nourishing for the skin to be gently massaged with this wax. We have enriched the wax with essential myrrh oil and sage hydrolate for their cleansing qualities. <\/p>\n
