A Brief Exploration of Icaros and Shamanic Music takes a look at shamanic sound and song as a means for communion with Source or Creator and to promote healing. In this piece, we explore some of the purposes for which one might use particular songs or sound practices such as drumming and medicine songs and the effects that arise on different levels. Overall, the aim of this paper is to bring us back to the knowledge that to establish a relationship to the natural and spiritual realms around us is a birthright and that the practices of the past are but a blueprint and a beacon for the creative rituals we have the privilege to enact in our own lives.
