Shaman's create sacred space with powerful tools. If you have taken the Level 1 or Level 2 class at the Sedona Shamanic School you know the value of feathers, rattles, and drums. Tools for me are outward expression of the sacred space inside of ourselves and the sacred space we create as we journey for ourselves and others. Shamanic tools are as unique and varied as the practitioners, many are connected to the natural world (stones, feathers etc...) while others are lovingly handcrafted. I'll put in a shameless plug for Ivanka's tools found on the Sedona Shamanic School's website, having seen her loving each wand and feather into a unique creation I would recommend her tools for any shamanic practitioner. Some might contend tools as unnecessary.... on one level I would agree, we are the "Living Tool" but it is a unique human quality to fashion and utilize tools ( along with some higher order mammals such as apes and dolphins) shouldn't it be celebrated? Tools are a way to conceptualize and create an internal experience or make real what is unseen. As shamanic practitioners this is a realm we hopefully are actively cultivating in soul recovery.
What are your tools?
How do you use them in your work?
Let me know...
I wish you good journeys
