Paradox In Your Hands
The TVD Lightning Stick
The
mystical power of lightning, as illuminator, destroyer and creator, is
deeply significant in my practice of shamanism. That is obvious as one
reads the information on this Web site as it relates to
lightning-struck drums.
But
there are related tools I call into service as spiritual healing aids,
and chief among them is what I call the “Lightning Stick.”
As with all
such shamanic tools, it is intention which powers such an instrument,
just as one finds with crystals and many other instruments used for
spiritual goodness. Thus, I do not claim that this aid can do anything
by itself, and that it is up to your intentions to employ it as a
spiritual helper.
My
personal preference is cherry, since its russet color and reddish
berries are associated with fire in the shamanic way of thinking. Fire
medicine is powerful, indeed, and includes aspects of transmutation, as
in transmuting suffering and illness into healing. (Here, the word
“medicine” is used in the shamanic sense, and not in the pharmaceutical
/ allopathic sense.)
This
medicine comes from our relatives in the plant and sky kingdoms. Unlike
refined and processed drugs, though, this medicine involves a unique
science of its own and is best used in its pure, raw form. As with so
many great spiritual truths, its power is paradoxically hidden in the
most common and humble appearance.
A mere stick.
If this should interest you, I would encourage you to download the eBook (see details at top of page on right) and find out more.
Namaste.
Note: I've been meaning to update the photo of the Lightning Sticks, because they have evolved over time to the point where people much prefer they be sanded. So the photo above reflects this. They are very smooth! Also please notice that I leave plenty of lacing so buyers can attach they own articles, like feathers, herbs or whatever. I used to attach such things, but I definitely like the trend where folks prefer to personalize these helpers in their own way.
