Welcome to Drumming Magick!
As a Drummer I have discovered that among the wonderful qualities of rhythm we are able to share a special connection with community when we come together in Drum Circle and Dance. Drumming in Fire Circle is a meditation that provides an aural foundation for the ritual of dance.
For many – especially for people looking to connect with earth based spirituality – the Drum Circle is Sacred, no less than as if being in church. Our church is the Fire Circle. It is Sacred Space. By learning to follow the presence of rhythm, and especially by participating in that rhythm by acknowledging it with the beat of a Drum - transcendent shifts in consciousness can open uniting awareness with the river of life and spirit. This is the magick of music and dance. This is the dearest companion to the Sacred Drummer, the Dancer and the Fire Tender. A synergy develops that feeds into a growing expression of life and being. The dancer can be entirely in spirit, the Muse and teacher of the pulse of vital energy. That is what a Drum Circle invokes and is the goal of the “Perfect Fire Circle.”
Any one of us can come to be part of Drum Circle. Here we enter into a process where we learn to be a simple student of the Muse. It is an opportunity to let your mind take a rest, like any meditation. It is also an opportunity for awakening. By submitting yourself to the presence of the moment, to the energy taking place, you might be able to release the complexities of your personality and enjoy the essence of your existence. We can experience “Drum Magick” by participating in this flow of living energy. Each and every one of us is an expression of this force. Drumming is a way to strengthen awareness of the moving core of spirit and this animate power.
There is a place for everyone in Drum Circle. Any instrument is welcome. For example, I have had the pleasure of experiencing Agogos, Bells, Flutes, Whistles, Claves, Gongs, Xylophones, Guitars, Shakers and even a Harp just to name a few. For beginners, the key is to start out simple and learn to stick with a beat. If you make a mistake just keep repeating it. No on will ever know.
Even though there is a very spiritual and philosophical aspect to Drumming, please join me and accept this invitation to contribute in your own way. As we progress and evolve, I am hoping to add rhythms, poetry, commentaries, links, spiritual and philosophical notes, essays and anything that this community might find interesting from a Drumming perspective.
I shall begin with the “Drummers Creed” and the “Philosophy of DrumTrybe”
