Day Two: Spiritual Superhero Week
If you just landed here on the Shaman Drums blog for the first time, here's an up-to-date summary of what you just got yourself into.
This is the second in a week-long series of posts that combines many things I love. Not everything I love, but at least a bunch. To wit, in no particular order: (1.) I love to make shamanic drums and other sacred tools for spiritual seekers, like shamanic rattles, lightning sticks, shaman's jewelry, things for your altar, shamanic spirit shields, and the like, mostly from the powerfully charged wood of lightning-struck trees (you can see 'em all on the Thunder Valley Drums Website here); (2.) I love old comic books; (3.) I love teaching, talking / reading, and otherwise engaging in shamanism; and (4.) I love learning from other spiritual seekers like you. So the series combines all of these things into a sort of fantasy I'm having about what it would be like if superheroes were to suddenly become seekers, too, and what their comic book appearances may look like, as sponsored by Thunder Valley Drums. Cool, eh? KEWL!
Oh, that last ingredient in number 4, you, is up to you. I'd love to hear from you! You can comment here, of course, or send along an email: livefree@naturalshamandrums.com
So now, on with the show! Here's Day Two of the TVD Spiritual Superhero Week! Sha-zaam!

Wow, Bob! Wow! This stuff is fantastic!! You have me thinking so many things: like, what if the ego-centered advertising, the war-mongering hype, the saturation of materialism were to give way to wonderful messages like these?!? When we talk about making a new world for ourselves, this is paving the way. More than a comic...this represents the potential for sea change in attitude! Our children would thrive with messages of peace and teaching them their part to make the world better, instead of neurotic obsessions with self, etc. As for us adults...yes, the inner child is IN there...filled with the beauty and goodness and love we brought with us when we came here. If we will just allow those memories to stir...and yes, we CAN "shake it up" with the sacred rattle! I hope that all readers of this blog will sit for a moment and ponder the deeper messages you bring to us. Thank you, for being a huge Light when it is most needed. Namaste, and all blessings to you, Shaman Bob, Great Heart Returned to Us.

Hello, Hope. I sincerely appreciate your comment. Indeed, a sea change begins with a thought, and then it turns to action. At some point our violent world must place emphasis on peace, else we could destroy it all. Training our young in the ways of violence and intolerance is asking for trouble. So I hope the simple thought of peace will add to the rising tide of public opinion that longs for a better world. Aho & Namaste, my friend.
