More Axis Mundi




Both these Sami drums show Axis Mundi interestingly. I have also studied Native American drum symbols and Siberian ones and Axis Mundi is represented as well in them on occasion.
This is the THIN time of year when we are exceptionally close to the spirit world. Samhain or Halloween, Day of the Dead in Mexico, is a time when portals open and we can learn from the experience of openness and shedding fear. Our dead our living are close.
Shamans have access to this state Axis Mundi through ritual and drum beating, chanting and their very own power to be so.
We are making fires at this time of year and those are great sources of energy, light and warmth and attract souls of animals and humans alike to gather together. Thin. The thin time.
