It&#8217;s got a lot of good juju drummed into it. \u00a0I love being able to pass on my sacred items and know they will be well used and appreciated.\u00a0This is one way <em>the dead can dance and live on:<\/em>\u00a0because that drum will continue to sound its voice long after I&#8217;ve gone. \u00a0The drum&#8217;s base was once a living part of a tree. The drum&#8217;s head was once the skin of a living animal. The physical animal is dead, yet her soul dances on when the drum is played.\u00a0Happy Christmas!<\/p>\n<div id=\"s-share-buttons\" class=\"horizontal-w-c-circular s-share-w-c\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer.php?u=https:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/christmas-morning-santa-delivers-sacred-djembes\/\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Share to Facebook\" class=\"s3-facebook hint--top\"><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?text=The dead dance Christmas as Santa delivers sacred djembes&url=https:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/christmas-morning-santa-delivers-sacred-djembes\/\" target=\"_blank\"  title=\"Share to Twitter\" class=\"s3-twitter hint--top\"><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/plus.google.com\/share?url=https:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/christmas-morning-santa-delivers-sacred-djembes\/\" target=\"_blank\"  title=\"Share to Google Plus\" class=\"s3-google-plus hint--top\"><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/shareArticle?mini=true&url=https:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/christmas-morning-santa-delivers-sacred-djembes\/\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Share to LinkedIn\" class=\"s3-linkedin hint--top\"><\/a><div class=\"pinit-btn-div\"><a href=\"\/\/www.pinterest.com\/pin\/create\/button\/\" data-pin-do=\"buttonBookmark\"  data-pin-color=\"red\" title=\"Share to Pinterest\" class=\"s3-pinterest hint--top\"><\/a><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<script type=\"text\/javascript\" async defer src=\"\/\/assets.pinterest.com\/js\/pinit.js\"><\/script><a href=\"mailto:?Subject=The%20dead%20dance%20Christmas%20as%20Santa%20delivers%20sacred%20djembes&Body=Here%20is%20the%20link%20to%20the%20article:%20https:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/christmas-morning-santa-delivers-sacred-djembes\/\" title=\"Email this article\" class=\"s3-email hint--top\"><\/a><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I spent an early morning playing Santa, delivering djembes to good little girls.\u00a0\u00a0I&#8217;m stoked when I can pass on my sacred tools to people I know will use them with the spirit I&#8217;ve imbued into them.
