Journey 205/206 - Meeting the 13 Tenger of Shamanic Activities/Spirit of New Drum

1/30/06: A Journey undertaken to visit with the Group of Tenger in the Mongolian Tradition who “control Shamanic Activities.” They are the Asarangi Arban Gurban, of the East. This was actually my first Journey of the New Year which began on Jan 29. My Goal this year is to finally begin a series of Meetings with these great Shaman Spirits of the Mongolian Way. I made up a Spreadsheet in early January of all the Spirits, for easy Reference to their area of Specialty. My Goal with this Journey was to get Blessing for all my Activities coming up this Year.

As I entered the Spirit World for the first Time on over 2 weeks, I saw a vast Plains sparsely populated with leafy Trees. It was early Dawn. Ahead of me was a large Mountain, dark with the increasing Twilight behind it. I was kneeling on the Shaman Mirror with all my Helpers behind me, there in Support of this first real Supplication. Embedded in the otherwise dark Mountainside ahead of me were 13 bright Lights, brilliantly white like tiny Suns. As I was kneeling and bowing down, my Mirror, hung around my Neck, touched the Mirror beneath me..and they are both the same Mirror! Anything is possible in the Time/Space Linking of Spirit World. The large Mirror we were on slid right up to the Base of the Mountain. When we arrived, the 13 “Suns” rearranged themselves into a narrow Oval, with 6 lights on each Side and one at the Top. I walked up into the Midst of these Lights. They now had become elongated Columns of Light, about the height of a Human. They then projected a Bed of colored Light between them, with many Rays of both Pastels and primary Colors. I sensed I was to lie down in this Bed, and so I immersed myself on my Back in the Light, which held me up although having no apparent Substance. At this Point, the 13 peered over at me, and I could see many smiling Faces peering down at me. I then saw a brief visual History of portions of my Shamanic Walk to this Point..my Shamanic Past (perhaps they were reviewing this as well). One by one they then began to smear Fat from my totem Animals (Bear, Hawk, Mourning Dove, Cardinal, etc) onto my Body. But instead of the Fats sticking to my Skin, they penetrated to my Spirit Body and blended with it. I was being given the very Essences of my Totems, no doubt to increase my Power. They then asked if I would like to see my near Future. I said yes, of course. Then, ahead of me, I saw myself walking along, with my Aura bright and full. But it was under Attack from Dark Beings all around me, with Spears sticking into my aura in places, while from on high came powerful Bolts of Light designed to keep me strong. It was a very dynamic scene, with much give and take between the light and dark forces coming to a Head at and within my Spirit Body. (This confirmed what I had been shown on our way to Portland last Sunday: A large Hawk flew right across the front of the car about 15 feet up, chased by 3 Crows who were right behind it and trying to nip its wings, coming in from the right, the side of danger. This told me then that I will face many challenges this year (Crows are messenger Birds, so I will have lots of taskings but, like the Hawk, will fly along handling it well on my mission.) But then, I saw 13 little Stars form over my Aura. They circled slowly, but then quickly accelerated into a whirling Hoop of white Light. This Hoop expanded and descended down through my entire Aura,. When they were done, I was totally free of dark Forces. I was told I can call on the 13 at any time to engage this Cleansing. Back now on the Bed of Light, the 13 burned the Fats into my Aura. I could feel the heat on my actual Skin as I lay in my Middle World Bed. They then spoke with me. “You are ready..you have great Shamanic Power, use it with great Humility.” This ended my Time with the 13. I returned to the Mirror, where the White Moon Festival Feast that follows the New Year was in full Swing. As I ate at a huge Table with my Helpers and celebrated, I took occasional Racks of Beef or Legs of Lamb and through them way up into the Mountainside. Each time, a Voice would boom down the Slopes, “Thank you, Four Hawks.” I then spoke with my Helpers. They said the 13 were pleased I went to visit them for the first time. They are honored and grateful to have someone working so hard as a Shaman. I was told they were smiling over me earlier because there are so many false Shamans out there whose activities they have to try to negate. This keeps them quite busy, I was told. I then thanked my Helpers and returned.

1/30/06: A Journey undertaken to learn the Spirit of my new Drum, bought on EBay with my daughter’s Christmas Gift Certificate. I actually used the new Drum for my Journey, so this was the first time for that.

I first smudged the Drum with all three of my Plants: Sage, Sweet Grass and Juniper. I then used both the Sacred Feather and my Grouse Wing Fans to spread the Smoke across, around and beneath the Mirror. I then lay down with the Drum lying on my Stomach and began Drumming, tapping with my Finger. At first, I saw the Fruit Tree from which the Wood came to make the Rim. I saw that the Wood came from the main Trunk, toward the outside, just below where the main Branches began. I then saw the Goat that donated the Skin beneath the Tree, grazing on the finest Alfalfa. I then saw my Drum lying on its Back in the Spirit World. All around the Edge I saw numerous tiny Thunderbeings firing Lightning at the Perimeter from a few Inches above. Strike after Strike hits all around the Drum with no Damage, as if adding Power. I then saw a blue-white “Sky” Dome, like a contact lens, form over the Drum Surface. As I rose up and over the Drum, I saw the numerous brilliant Stars were embedded in the tip of this Dome. It was strikingly beautiful! I then peered down through the Dome and saw a whole World encased within it. I saw a portion of Ocean and also some Land. It was as if this World, with all its Possibilities and Life Energy, was sitting on the Surface of the Drum. I then moved back down to the Side of the Drum and saw a Being walk up from the other side of the Dome and toward me. The Being was brilliant Yellow, and was composed of Flames. He introduced himself as the Spirit of the Drum. His name is Syrggha. He explained to me how I should paint the Drum. He told me to paint him on the Head, as well as the Lightning Bolts, the Ocean, the Land and Stars I saw. Not only should I also paint my Shaman Symbol on it, but he told me to sear in my personal Shaman Energy by tracing my Symbol with my Index Finger at this time, which I did. I watched as Energy poured from my Fingertip and branded the Drumhead with the Energy of my Shaman Symbol. I then stopped Drumming, and lowered my Hands slowly to the opposing Edges of the Rim. This sealed in all the Energy I had witnessed. The Drum was now active and assigned to me..
