How even a little, Mystical Shaman Inspired Art and Totemic Jewelry can help uplift Your Day

In the grind of day to day routines, financial stress, emotional ups and downs and the the general roller coaster of life, the magic which hides behind it all can sometimes get lost. When the Shamans dance they tune into the beating, turning and breathing of the World. Even seeing images of them can inspire us to dance loose from the shackles of our own habits and unhelpful patterns and joyfully dance towards our higher selves and aspirations.

Animals always feature in shamanic art. Jaguars stalking, Owls wide eyed like the moon in the night, horses running spirited and free. These animal portraits also help remind us of aspects of ourselves...how else can we describe the magnetic effect these images have on us?

The natural elements also play a big part in Shamanic imagery, we may not find the Wolf to walk with in this physical world of ours, but we can take time to feel the wind coming from a distance, tousling our hair as it reaches us and then watch it swirl the leaves as it continues on its path.

We might not see a might y eagle soaring the wind on a regular basis but wearing an eagle pendant can remind us of the eagles sharp eyes and mighty flight when we get caught up in your daily details. A simple postcard on the fridge can open up a new world! Images are powerful!

I have enjoyed putting together this lense and I will continue to work it as I come across inspiring artworks, books and jewelry.

I just love this necklace, I can hear those wings beating as he dances and flies. His gesture is full of grace and I am not quite sure if he is coming to touch the ground or has just pushed off!

Shamanism = technique of ecstasy & encompasses belief that shamans are messengers between the human world & spirit worlds. Shamans treat illness by mending the soul. Alleviating traumas affecting spirit restores the physical body to balance & wholeness. The shaman enters supernatural realms to obtain solutions to problems afflicting the community. Shamans visit other worlds/dimensions to bring guidance to misguided souls & to ameliorate illnesses of the human soul caused by foreign elements. He operates in the spiritual world & affects the human world. Restoration of balance results in elimination of the ailment. A shaman is a highly-trained & spiritually selected individual, his social role defined by connected behaviors, rights & obligations. Shamanism is a calling & when called experience an illness of over a prolonged period of time that prompts the individual to seek out spiritual guidance & shamanic healers. Such illnesses are not curable by physicians & western medicine. The shaman heals through spiritual means that affect the human world by bringing about restored health. Shamans gain knowledge & power to heal by entering into the spiritual world. Most have dreams & visions that tell them things. Shamans have spirit guides in the spirit world, who guide & direct him in his travels. These guides are always present within the shaman though others only encounter them when the shaman is in a trance. The spirit guide energizes the shaman, enabling him to enter the spiritual dimension. The shaman heals within the spiritual dimension by returning lost parts of the human soul from wherever they have gone. He also cleanses excess negative energies which confuse & pollute the soul. The shaman can venture to its depths to bring back vital information for the sick & the tribe. The shaman must become sick to understand sickness. When the shaman overcomes his own sickness he will hold the cure to heal all that suffer. This is the uncanny mark of the wounded healer.
