This is a lovely Reindeer drum that was hand dyed using natural ground plant pigments and comes with a beater and a small Reindeer Medicine pouch for placing on your altar or near your drum in honour of working with this majestic and powerful animal medicine.
Reindeer hide is quite thin and easily affected by moisture. However when it is heated up and dry, it sings and sounds amazing. The sound is not the deep booming of a thin elk or buffalo drum, but rather lighter and brighter. I have reduced the cost of this drum due to it being a bit temperamental.
Reindeer:
For the Sami shamanic people of Siberia, the drum is the most important shamanic object because the sounds a shaman makes with it permit them to summon and ride into the other world to speak with the spirits. The Tuvan drum is closely associated with reindeer, the riding of which facilitated the shaman's ability to go on journeys, and was the source of the shaman's strength.
The reindeer is a family-oriented totem, that offers us lessons in communication, both with humans and the with the spirit world. Reindeer symbolize wisdom, resourcefulness, cleverness, knowledge, and creativity. They are honoured for their nobility and representing continuation of the tribe. Other members of herbivorous Cervidae family are Caribou, deer, elk and moose. Each member has its own unique symbolism based on its attributes.
Reindeer medicine people are skilful at teaching and guiding others and contain an innocent demeanour that is helpful to their friends and family members. Receptive to the needs of others this totem teaches how to adapt to community concerns. "All for one, and One for all" could easily be the motto for this totem. if you are called by reindeer perhaps you are being asked to take a step into a new role, either spiritual or leadership.
