This is beautiful 🔥🪶

Bone, Fire, Wing

From shed bone
the old story rises.

Bear sits in ember light,
the spiral turning
in her blood.

She does not fear the dark.
She has wintered there.
She has slept in the long red silence
and woken with ash in her fur
and memory in her bones.

Above her, Raven cuts the sky,
black wing,
keeper of what crosses and returns.

He carries the unspoken
over fire and field,
over what was
and what is becoming.

Bone holds the past.
Fire shapes the present.
Wing remembers the way back.

In this meeting
earth and sky
are not separate.
They breathe through the same body.

And I,
standing between them,
remember.

A new 45 cm buffalo drum is born. Now it’s time for it to rest and dry. Can’t wait to see her tomorrow as the colors will both deepen some places and get brighter other places.

Was a fun process to make the 3 pointed spiral.

A newly born drum.
45 cm of buffalo hide, carrying the deep heartbeat of the earth.

This drum was created in the spirit of Imbolc a time of new growth, gentle awakening, and the first quiet movements of life beneath the soil.
Its pine wood frame holds the Seed of Life, carefully burned into the wood as a prayer for creation, connection, and becoming.
Even the lacing is tied in resonance with this pattern a subtle weaving of form and intention.

As an extra detail, resonators have been added to the frame, giving the drum a deeper, fuller voice a sound that doesn’t just travel outward, but moves through the body.

The rhythm you hear in this video is the voice of this drum itself.
For the full depth of its sound, I invite you to listen with headphones. 🎧

If you feel the call of this drum, you’re welcome to DM me.
May it find the hands and heart it is meant to walk with. 🖤🌱

A walk in the forest & shamanic drumming

A few quiet moments from my walk connecting with myself, the drum, the earth and the sun.

Resting on old bunkers built during the First World War in south Denmark, a strong contrast between peace and chaos.
A simple reminder that beauty can still be found, wherever we are.
