Reindeer Drum

[Elen Sentier]

A friend just shared this with me on FB ...


It's the Saami Drum from Copenhagen museum, gorgeous thing ... and has given me some patterns for the Fair Isle knitting

And next year I hope I'll be able to have my own reindeer drum, wonderful deep tone the skin gives.

You might find this page interesting then.

I do indeed , find a lot of your sites interesting.

Try this for a bit more information then.

I think it's probably right up your street.

Elen, in 2013 there is an event which is part of the 'World Drum Project'. Very briefly it is an event organised by Pagan folk of different paths, in 2013 the British Druid Order is hosting the event. Rather than post information contrary to forum rules, further information is available here..www.theworlddrum.com/
Dates for England and Wales are:
The World Drum at Avebury - 30/03/2013 - 11:30 am - 2:00 pm
The World Drum at Glastonbury Tor - 31/03/2013 - 11:30 am - 1:00 pm
The World Drum at Ironbridge, Shropshire - 03/04/2013 - 11:30 am - 1:00 pm
The World Drum at Titterstone, Clee Hill, Shropshire - 05/04/2013 - 07/04/2013 - 12:00 am
The World Drum at Cae Mabon & Anglesey, North Wales - 12/04/2013 - 14/04/2013 - 12:00 pm - 7:00 pm

The above may be an opportunity to hear a drum used in a similar way to which they were used in times long ago.

Ta muchley, wicca, am on their list & BDO. The Clee Hill event should be amazing ... as is Clee Hill herself anyway

And if like me you are interested in Saami crafts in general:

Click English at top right then Type / Artefact on the lower left then "Samisk historia" when the category appears.

Have fun but make a cup of tea first...
