This drum calls up feelings of life forming...evolving out of...of mystery and wonder. Unable to pin down. Layers and dimensions. Earthy, grounded but also expansive. There is so much activity and movement across the drum face, so many Spirit faces and forms that move and merge into one another. As soon as I pick out one form and my eye moves across the shapes, that form morphs into something else.
When I asked what should I name this drum for the listing I heard 'Dark Matter', then 'Supports evolution'. This may not be the drums actual name, the name that it will share with its eventual human partner, but it perfectly evokes the qualities and energies of this shamanic drum.
Dark Matter according to Perplexity: "Dark matter is a mysterious kind of matter that does not emit, absorb, or reflect light, but reveals itself through its gravitational pull on visible objects like stars and galaxies....its role in the universe is to act like an invisible “scaffold” that helps galaxies form and stay together, shaping large-scale cosmic structure. The exact particle (or objects) that make up dark matter remains unidentified despite decades of underground, accelerator, and astrophysical searches. Experiments continue to test many possibilities, from new particles to ideas that modify gravity, making dark matter one of the biggest open problems in physics."
This 'invisibility' or undefined form supporting the creation of form is EXACTLY the message I am receiving from this drum. As if its very mission is to support the creation and evolution of you, and whatever it interact with.
Picture Jasper: Connection to Earth and nature. The landscape-like patterns are said to help you merge with the “consciousness of Earth,” fostering reverence for nature and a sense of belonging on the planet. Good for bringing hidden emotions to light, supports personal growth, healing of past ancestral patterns,
All my drums come with a free beater made from wood, chamois suede and sheep's wool including some of the same hide as the drum.
Is this spirit drum calling you?
Dark Matter
My shamanic drums are made from sustainably sourced hides and wooden hoops. All my drums come with a beater that usually has the same animal skin used in some way, to connect them. I always work in a sacred ceremonial way respecting all parts of the process.
