Oh your quoting something that was said in the video,I get it now..however can I say people centuries ago or in remote places today didn't just go out and hunt a deer solely to make a drum from their hide,they hunted to feed their families first and foremost and they praised every portion of that animal given to them in that hunt for that purpose and many other purposes nothing went to waste from that animal sacrificing its life to feed many,fur to cloth them in & they utilise many parts of it for many other things e.g. bows,spears,spoons for eating with,jewelry to adorn,fat to make soap with & to cook with, meat to eat fresh & meat to dry for years when food sources was scarce,hooves & sinews to make glues etc..its the modern day humans that hunt to take trophies or they pay others to kill cattle daily so they can buy it at supermarkets.. as they cant hunt it themselves, if they did have to hunt for their dinner each night,there would be way more vegetarians on this planet that's for sure..lol
No, not my intent at all, the guy himself noted right after that part that when he was tasked to hunt a deer, eat it and make a drum, it took him by surprise as he was vegan. :-D
Many Shaman drums are made via Remo buffalo synthetic materials these days, but In the countries where these shaman drums are originally made, they actually rare the deer themselves for their own survival,each drum is made in prayerful intention in consideration of the medicine of the hide itself & the animal which gave it. If your asking me this question because I am a vegetarian, I admit I dont like that intent of killing anything & eating it at all,however I do fully understand that in these countries this is their culture & their livelihood from it and the only way to survive. The medicine, or spiritual quality of an animal may be very beneficial to consider also. In shamanic traditions, one's relationship with a drum is unique and important. One's relationship with the spirit of the animal it came from, or its medicine qualities, can create an even richer relationship. Indigonous people dont hunt for sport like white men do, they actually hunt for food & their families survival, everything on that animal is utilised in some way as well as being consumed to feed whole families,nothing is wasted thus it is treasured even its spirit is praised & relished for being given to them.
Do you know what is this drum made of?
Birch wood and deer skin.
And what does that mean for you that someone had to hunt the deer, kill it, had to butcher and skin it, eat the meat and make drum from the skin. What does that mean to you?
Real gold!
ABOUT THIS EPISODE This episode comes with a smell of smoking wood, sounds of fire and echoes of Tribal elders from forgotten times! Ya'Acov Darling Khan, is a UK based Shaman, Author and Movement facilitator and the right person to talk about subjects that interest me a lot! We talked about Shamanism and what it is to be a Shaman in the 21st century, about Movement and his project Movement Medicine, about his personal experiences and his books but also about the importance and the usage of the Shamanic Drum! At a young age Ya'Acov has been struck by a lightning on a golf course and that has been an awakening that changed his life forever! He has three decades of studies and practice with spiritual teachers and elder Shamans from the Sami (European Tradition), Achuar and Sapara people of the Amazon Forest. For 18 years he has apprenticed with Gabrielle Roth, the founder of the 5 Rhythms movements, and for many years he is travelling around the world with his wife Susannah with whom they run together the School of Movement Medicine and they share their practices. Ya'Acov is the author of the best selling "Jaguar in the Body, Butterfly in the Heart" which is a must-read for anyone wanting to come closer to a real down-to-earth story of a Shamanic initiation through the experiences of a man living in a modern world!
Theres also this lecture from alan watts that was the first talk i ever heard from him, i stumbled upon it when i was about 21 or 22 after looking around on youtube of videos of people who were considered schizophrenic and wanting to hear anyones stories who heard voices, and this lecture set the course for me to think about the way that i think very differently and see my own so called illness as something unique to me that isnt inherently wrong, but it isnt common to most people, which is where the difficulty in sharing weird experiences is to try to relate to others.
Its about an hour and a half long
This sounds interesting. I read some article a long time ago about a shaman who visited a mental hospital and he saw people who were tortured because there were spirits constantly whispering in their ear, and the point he was trying to make was that people who are often treated as schizophrenics or mentally ill are experiencing things that are from the spiritual world but western society generally doesnt know how to handle it because theyre not in tune with the spiritual side, so the psychistric system puts them in institutions that make them worse rather than learning to heal and work with whatever it is theyre dealing with. There was some young kid in the article who was disgnosed as a schizophrenic but a shaman found him and took him to some village in another country where he became a healer. Some of the voices we hear in our heads are not our own. But this point that they werent cured because they didnt have a disease is the exact point.
Terrence Mckenna has some talks that are related to this, and this one in particular is him describing what its like to be considered schizophrenic and describing the actual problem, if there is any, being that if anyone on the outside doesnt have a problem with it, then why would it be considered anything to worry about at all. Thats what i take it as at least.

He also has a good talk about shamans and their role in the world as people who stay on the fringes and bring new ideas and new ways into the world for other people to follow, not being followers themselves of a general i guess a common mode of behaving but being ones that change the way people behave my bringing their own actions into the world.
I saw an excellent movie about how people with “mental differences” were “cured”when they embraced their Shamanism. It’s called Crazywise.
They were not cured because they didn’t have a disease. they just found themselves so they became more integrated and much happier
The world as you know it - all that you see, taste, feel and touch, comprises only about 5% of all of the stuff of the universe. The other 95% is what we have considered "nothing" or the "firmament" or the heavens or mystic Other Worlds. This 95% is multi-dimensional and consists of potential realities that may be perceived.
Please — those better suited to provide wisdom on this take the reins to tell us more—
October 25th is the kissing of the Sun and planet Venus in the heavens which will bring
a revitalization and joyous celebration portal to enjoy her music!
