The Shamanic Horse

The drum, often called the shaman's horse, provides the shamanic practitioner a relatively easy means of controlled transcendence. Researchers have found that if a drum beat frequency of around three to four beats per second is sustained for at least 15 minutes, it will induce significant trance states in most people, even on their first attempt. The drum becomes the practitioner's mount, and the drumstick becomes a riding crop. Riding the rhythm of the drum at the speed of sound, the practitioner journeys to the inner planes of consciousness and back.

Through the sound of the drum, which is customarily made of wood from the World Tree (axis mundi), the practitioner is transported to the cosmic axis (spinal column) within and conveyed from plane to plane. As noted Tuvan Siberian ethnomusicologist Valentina Suzukei explains: "There is a bridge on these sound waves so you can go from one world to another. In the sound world, a tunnel opens through which we can pass, or the shaman's spirits come to us. When you stop playing the drum, the bridge disappears."(1)

The shamanic horse, namely the single-headed frame drum, originated in Siberia, along with shamanism itself thousands of years ago. Shamanic drumming is considered one of the oldest methods for healing and accessing inner wisdom. Practiced in diverse cultures around the planet, this drum method is strikingly similar the world over. Shamanic drumming uses a repetitive rhythm that begins slowly and then gradually builds in intensity to a tempo of three to seven beats per second. The ascending tempo will induce light to deep trance states. Practitioners may progress through a series of trance states until they reach the level that is necessary for healing to occur.

Basically, shamanic drumming is a technique of accessing and directing archetypal or transpersonal powers for healing and manifesting what is needed to benefit the community. It is a simple and effortless way to still the incessant chatter of the mind, thereby inducing a shamanic trance state. Shamanic drumming carries awareness into the transcendent realm of the collective unconscious, the infinite creative matrix of all that we are, have been and will ever be. It is an inward spiritual journey of ecstasy in which one interacts with the inner world, thereby influencing the outer world.

During shamanic flight, the sound of the drum serves as a guidance system indicating where the journeyer is at any moment or where they might need to go. The drumbeat also serves as an anchor or lifeline that the traveler follows to return to their body when the trance work is complete. One of the paradoxes of rhythm is that it has both the capacity to move your awareness out of your body into realms beyond time and space, and to ground you firmly in the present moment. It allows you to maintain a portion of ordinary awareness while experiencing nonordinary awareness. This allows recall or recollection of the visionary experience. When ready to exit the trance state, the practitioner simply slows the tempo of drumming, drawing consciousness back to normal. Shamanic drumming continues to offer today what it has offered for millennia -- a simple and effective technique of ecstasy.

Although sounding simple and redundant, the unique connection between the drum and the practitioner gives this drumming great power, richness and depth. According to Valentina Suzukei, "shamanic drumming is not monotonous at all. Constant changes in timbre and volume keep them interesting…If you don’t listen for timbre, but only for pitch and rhythm the music is boring, monotonous. But the player's every smallest change of mood is reflected in timbre."(2)

It is the subtle variations in timbre and ever-changing overtones of the drum that allow the shamanic practitioner to communicate with the spiritual realm. Drumming opens one's inner, spiritual ears and eyes and also calls the helping spirits. By changing and listening to the tones, pitches and harmonics of the drum, the practitioner is able to send messages to and receive them from the spirit world.

The Shaman's Steed

The role of the horse in Siberian shamanism is predominately that of an animal that transports a shaman in his journeys, especially his journeys to the World Tree. In the shamanic traditions of East, Central and North Asia, winged horses symbolize the shaman's soul or the shaman's steed carrying the rider to Heaven. Among the Yakut people of Siberia, the drum was symbolically called kulan-at or "wild horse." The drum was the very heart of the shaman's steed. The Buryat, a Mongolic ethnic group native to southeastern Siberia, make their drums out of horse skins. The Buryat see the stars as a herd of horses tethered to the World Tree, which is represented by the pole star.

Throughout Mongolia, the drum is called Omisi Murin, which translates as Spirit Horse. The repetitive, rhythmic cadence of shamanic drumming is evocative of a horse on a journey. Mongolian and Siberian shamans describe it as the blissful, transcendent state that one mounts and rides from plane to plane. As Siberian shaman Tania Kobezhikova puts it, "My drum can connect me to the earth or carry me like a flying horse."(3) We can ride Spirit Horse on journeys through the inner realms of consciousness. As a form of transport for the body and the soul, Spirit Horse will let you ride him and will take you where you want to go. Do you need to get somewhere physical or spiritual? Spirit Horse will assist you and serve as your guardian spirit, giving safety in your physical and metaphysical journeys.

Hello? HELLO? Yes you! Did you hear, did you hear about the latest train ROA made? No? It's amazing! It has over 5400 cow powers? Yes they use cow powers, it's for trains. It's like horse powers but not really. Trains are faster than cars that's why they needed another animal. Cows are stronger than horses, but not as fast because of friction. But trains doesn't have friction because of the rails, and of cows didn't have friction they would be faster than horses. Anyways that's why they use cow powers. Tha train is over 5300 cow powers that they know of YET. It will be stronger when there are passengers on it because the weight pushes on the spark plugs in the engines and gives it more cow powers. One cow power is maybe 3-8 horse powers I'm not sure I'll get back to you about that if you're interested. Anyways what are you doing later tonight? ;)

Can Undyne give us a university-grade lecture on the study of souls? (is there an "ology" word for that?) I'd freaking love that! That kinda stuff is very interesting to me, and I'd love an in depth dive on all sorts of stuff. HP, LoV, if/why a name would be by the hp bar, magical combat from a monster's perspective, souls, magic, magic dynamics, magic applied in mechanisms and machinery, all that!

[Awe geeze, that's a Lotta questions and I'm not a scientist let's see what I can come up with. Too many questions at once for in comic, I'm afraid. ]

Undyne: Woo! Love the enthusiasm! Let’s GO! The study of souls is psychology. The soul is the culmination of your being. Everything that makes you "you". Technically speaking it is the combination of spirit body and mind together that make up a soul. But people often use "spirit" and "soul" interchangeably.

It can get especially confusing with monsters since we like acronyms and one we use for spirit is Spark Of Unique Life. SOUL. [It flowed better than the one for SPIRIT and so we stuck with that one]. SOUL and soul are not exactly the same thing. [Under stand? [Yes] Good! ->[Even less] well too bad, you're in too deep now!]

soul is everything you are. SOUL is that thing in your chest that pops out in the middle of a battle. If you are a monster it looks like a desaturated spade. If you are human, it looks like a super saturated heart shape. Animal SOULS look like desaturated hearts. Wizard SOULS look like saturated hearts that can sometimes be spades. Boss monsters have desaturated spades that can sometimes look like hearts.

Heart SOULS are locked and so they keep all their magic inside (yes, even humans have magic, but because it's locked they can't access it). Wizards are humans with the ability to unlock their SOULS and turn them into spades. They can unleash the magic within! But if it stays like that too long, too much magic leaks out and they can pass out or DIE. The amount of time a wizard can unlock their SOUL honestly depends on the wizard. But no wizard has been able to do it indefinitely.

Spade SOULS are unlocked, allowing magic to flow constantly. This is great for monsters who are made mostly of magic. Boss monsters can lock their SOUL temporarily to Make their bodies stronger. Of course this means they can't use magic during that time, so they have to be pretty strategic about it. There are very little records of what happens if a boss monster locks their SOUL up too long, but one theory suggests that without magic, their body continues to harden and toughen until they completely turn to stone.

SOULS come in seven different base colors: red, orange, yellow, green, teal, blue, and purple. And each color corresponds to a trait: Determination, bravery, justice, kindness, patience, integrity, and perseverance. Each person has a mix of these traits, but the one that shines through the most is their virtue, and the ones that shine through the least is their flaws.

Rarely more than one trait can shine through in mostly equal amounts and create a color mixture. For example, hapstablook's SOUL appears pink. This is because he has nearly equal amounts of Determination and Perseverance. It is said that one who balances their SOUL perfectly will have a shining white SOUL but this has yet to be observed or scientifically documented. But it stands to reason. In contrast, a SOUL with many deficiencies and hardly any virtue will appear dark or even black. Fortunately a truly black soul has also not been observed or scientifically documented. The vast majority of people are neither truly perfect or pure evil, and that is somewhat comforting, imo. We are all responsible for our own actions. No one is 100% beyond saving. And no one is 100% too good to make a mistake. We all make mistakes. And we are all worth saving...

Eh hem... *cough cough* sorry. Got a little bit too philosophical there. But you had more questions right?! Well c'mon! Let's suplex 'em! NYAAAHHHGGG!

HP. Lots of people say it's 'Hope' or the ability to continue after taking physical emotional mental or magical damage. Technically speaking, it stands for "Horse Power" but, lets be real, Hope sounds better. [Who came up with that, anyway?!! Aaron?]. The more HP you have, the more hits you can take before your body can't take it anymore [wait, so Maybe it should be hit points... nah. Too obvious].

Monsters are slightly more tied to their emotional state and can literally die if they start to emotionally lose hope. That's one reason it was so important to find a way to break the barrier. We were losing our Hope. And it was affecting our health in general. This happens to Humans too. But less obviously. You might know this as "depression." And of course it’s deadly for humans too. But um... let's talk about something else.

Let's see... next topic... LoV... huh. Well this discussion just got worse. Oh well. Let's get it over with. LV, LOVE. Level of Violence. [No, seriously, what SICK PUPPY decided LOVE was an acronym for how murderous someone could be?!!] Not to be confused with Execution Points or EXP. EXP is said to be the leftover energy of a person you killed clinging to the person who killed them. EXP stays with you forever. High EXP can increase your Level of Violence. In other words the more you hurt others, the more you become numb to hurting more and more people or getting hurt yourself.

Level of Violence can go down with remorse and time. Truly being sorry for what you did. But since EXP remains, if you were to ever kill again, your LV would shoot up to match your EXP, because if you kill again after being sorry, are you truly sorry? However it is possible to minimize the amount of EXP and LV gained by fighting for a cause you believe to be just, such as protecting life or freedom. Soldiers who kill many people in a war, may not be as tender hearted as a civilian, but they may keep a tenderness in their heart that protects them from the numbness one would usually have from so many kills.

Why is a name by the HP bar? When scanning for stats, I suppose it's just more convenient. Attaching a name to the person you are trying to fight makes it more personal. If you know someone's name and HP, maybe you will reconsider hurting them.

Magical combat from a monster's perspective? Um... I'm pretty sure we see it the same way humans do. It's just magic bullets that go "pew pew pew pew!" And then the human either dodges or gets hit, then they have a chance to do something. Pretty standard stuff.

One interesting thing that is different from a human vs human brawl is the ability to check stats. Even a non-magic human can do it. This phenomenon is a result of the monster's left over magic in the air. If a human wants to know something about a monster, the magic in the air will form an illusion to show them some information about that monster.

Magic dynamics? Well that goes back to the SOUL traits. Each SOUL trait has a different specialty and... hang on, this explanation is all ready too long, let me show you a nifty poster I snagged from the dump one time [credit to Trashqueen for the poster]

There ya go! Nice and concise! With rad graphics too! And planets for some reason? Probably because they're COOL! Anyway, each while a person with certain SOUL traits are better at some types of magic than others, they are by no means limited to just that magic. In fact, it is incredibly common for spells to utilize more than one trait. The caster just has to Get Good. For example Papyrus has a bravery type SOUL but he Got Good and can use patience style attacks.

As for magic applied to machinary..... eh. *shrug* it just makes things simpler. Like things humans think are impossible like dimensional boxes, are just a matter of tweaking known technology with a little bit of magic to make it AWESOME.

That's all I have time for today. Hope you learned something. If not, I don't know what to tell you except look it up on Wikipedia. [Thanks @walterteigan . The afac lore you have stored there has helped me so much. I'm sure there are some differences in my explanations and if so, I'll probably stick with them unless it doesn't make sense]
