The Traditional Prayer Stick, the Axis Mundi

Rendered in familiar muted hues and with a single feather, this Traditional Prayer Stick may well be recognized in many tribal circles for its subtle yet profound intention of serving as the axis mundi, a joined column or center point passing through and linking all worlds and all existence.

Cueing into the axis mundi during certain prayer ceremonies is one method shamans can employ to journey to all these realms. In meditation, one could clear the mind by saying or chanting a brief prayer while simply touching the Traditional Prayer Stick’s extraordinarily smooth surface and allowing the feather to lift awareness to the non-linear All That Is.

Feathers lift prayers too, to Spirit.

Typically, shamans and other prayer supplicants make wooden prayer sticks from various species of bushes and trees, usually preferring a variety considered sacred to a particular task in a particular tribal area or region. This particular prayer stick offers physical characteristics unlike most of its predecessors, so while it remains a strong and capable means of opening pathways like traditional prayer sticks, you may find its differences to be helpful and illuminating.

The main body is made from Lilac Wood, very unusual for a Prayer Stick. Lilac's medicine touches all human's senses and inherently holds these energies. To sit beneath a blooming lilac bush in a spring breeze is to experience the breath-taking ecstasy of existence. Its stems, profuse with leaves and large clumps of blossoms tune the breeze into song while intoxicating you with a heavenly sweet scent. The plant has offered healing medications and oils for centuries.

In short, Lilac is a Bringer of Joy. And the Traditional Prayer Stick is the subtle media to help share it in beautiful communion.

Aho & Namaste,
Bob
