The Grand Shaman Sounds the Drum

Copper Thunderbird Sounds the Drum

Do you see a white-lined Thunderbird entering the Earthly fray, lightning and all? Do you see the creatures of the Earth scurrying in Spirit fire? Do you see the anointed one? Can you feel the vibration moving like lightning through the white drumstick? Can you sense the resonance in Copper Thunderbird's white hair and beard? Do you feel the inter-connectivity present between dimensions and forms?

Through this painted portal the power of the Thunderbird is evoked. The vibratory essence (or Spirit) of this Thunderbird has traveled from the House of Invention to empower us. Unfortunately, however, we the people are left with stepped-down remnants of the magic that was afoot when Copper Thunderbird struck this drum. He created this portal. This drum is tuned to his alignment. In truth, it is him.

When archeologists happen upon a pictographic cave they see primitive cartoons of long-gone creatures. Were they able to focus themselves into alignment with the cave art, even now, they would shift into resonance with the creatures depicted. There is no better way to find a woolly mammoth.

Shamanistic magic requires fresh originality. Shamans with power re-imagine Spirit To a Shaman every form is a symbol and every symbol is a portal that channels to resonant soul. Norval Morrisseau practiced and was a proponent of "soul travel". Such a life is lived in an infinite universe of vibrations and possibilities, where everything is light, sound and formula in process. A place where everything is in flow, flux or just gone...where nothing is really solid.

Authentic Shamanism was Morrisseau's "cup of tea". Most of us couldn't imagine living his way. Its interesting to note that Norval believed that "We are all Shamans", and that one day we will all drink from that cool cup, when we are ready to wake up to our response-ability.
