Николай Бурцев is building me a custom Komus!



Николай Бурцев (Burtcev, Nikolai) is building me a custom Khomus!
– i can't wait! smile emoticon
the one in this photo is described as "shamanic" low-frequency* and the sign represents shamanism + scientific knowledge (perfect!). made with a sign of ancient Tengrianism,2 it is used for healing. just looking at it you can feel the magic, and it inspired me to reach out and find out how to get one. this one was sold some time ago, and Nikolai is now only taking custom orders. the one he makes will be his design based on my customary sign, a "medicine wheel" 1
the master craftsman will develop a design based on my customary sign
special thanks to Khomuschut (Хомусчут Андрей) for helping me get hooked up with the master builder, and introducing me to Yakut culture!


* Шаманский низкочастотный хомус "Билгэ" с Тенгрианским знаком "Танца" = Shamanic Low-frequency guimbarde (Bilge?) with "tengrianskim familiar tankha"

khomus, vargan, guimbarde – these are all names for what we call Jew's Harp

my "wheel" –
with the four cardinal directions, and the balancing between all of the worlds. --- the center point of the cross being where horizontal (physical) and vertical (spiritual) meet; and, then the outer four elements of the quadrants which must remain in balance within the circle. the circle then, again connects all within the universe. also: the points in the quadrants are designed to create movement, begging one to enter into that point in the middle, suggesting meditation and revelation, a shamanic journey which encompasses all.

When you listen to music, multiple areas of your brain become engaged and active. But when you actually play an instrument, that activity becomes more like a full-body brain workout. What's going on? Anita Collins explains the fireworks that go off in musicians' brains when they play, and examines some of the long-term positive effects of this mental workout.
