5 out of 5 starsI am blown away by all I am feeling as I get to know the beautiful spirit of this drum. First of all , practical comments. My drum was shipped so quickly and packed so carefully. Thank you for that! The drum is even more stunning in person than any picture can capture. I have introduced her to our east coast pine trees, which are babies in size, compared to the redwoods. She drummed a greeting to them. This drum will be reverently cared for and I know will bring great healing for both myself and my clients. It’s such a honor to be caretaker of this beautiful drum.

5 out of 5 starsI had the amazing opportunity of seeing this drum in person and Palika explained her meaning to me. It was one of those moments you do not forget. A few weeks later I made the purchase and I could not be happier! She is so very talented! The tone and quality is superb! If one of her drums speaks to you, do not hesitate, there is a reason and a journey behind it. Absolutely love my Queen Ishtar YoniBee drum ♡

5 out of 5 starsI LOVE this drum. I LOVE Palika; she handcrafted this drum with such beauty and joy to see and to hear and to play. This drum has helped me deepen my spiritual practice and get back into tune with myself and with nature. The colors, images, sounds and connection to nature woven throughout it is the best celebration. I am a licensed therapist and have devoted my life to helping kids and families in counseling connect with themselves, the earth, animals and other people. This drum is a valuable tool for me in and out of session, great for Shamanic Journeying. Added bonus, it arrived so quickly and Palika provided an excellent resource for a cover carrying case. I am so happy with this drum!!!

5 out of 5 starsI absolutely love this shamanic drum by Wild Mythos! So enigmatic painting, captivating and inspiring. Listening to the drum sounds reverberating into my ears I can perceive the sound as two toned, and magical. It was shipped in a very secured package and had a personal note from Palika Benton. Thank you Palika I have done about a couple journeys with this beautiful piece.

5 out of 5 starsI just received my gorgeous Wild Mythos drum today (perfectly and carefully packed and protected, and so quick arriving in the midwest from the west coast! ) ~ and I love it!! This drum called to me, for its message of earth healing consciousness and for the beautifully rendered beings gracing the drum. I don't know the gifted artist, Palika, but once I ordered the drum I looked a little deeper into what she does, and if my life were a little more open than it is right now, I'd head right out to train with her. This work, this art, this Way, we SO need right now. Life is a medicine journey and the drum, the heartbeat of the earth, the call to share, to connect ~ all of this is surely a sacred, holy act of walking this earth dance. I hope you are called by one of these wonderful teachers on your journey! ☀️♥️🌎

The Birth of Wild Mythos Painted Drums
Greetings. I am Palika Rewilding the founder of Wild Mythos Painted Drums and Wild Mythos Drum Journey. I hand paint gateway mythopoetic imagery on shamanic/sacred/healing frame drums that cultivate personal transformation and eco-visionary leadership in these Great Turning Times. The gateway images are meant to to call forth the sacred drum's keeper, as well all those who hear the voice of, and see the image of the painted drum; to courageously lean forward to whatever or whomever Mystery place on the path before them, which will help them be changed and opened, shifted, healed and transformed in exactly the way we long for.
I am dedicated to supporting a deeply personal connection with your Wild Mythos Drum and believe its no accident who is called forward to partner with any one of these Beings. I also am dedicated to a personalized, quality, purchasing experience and aim to describe accurately each drum, take accurate photos and package the drum so its safely nested in its travels. People buy hand made artisinal products because they appreciate the quality and uniqueness of hand made. I appreciate reviews that help others know a quality experience is had with me and the Wild Mythos Drum they buy is the special mythical Medicine Drum they dreamed of. If you are tempted to leave less than 5 stars, please contact me to let me know if there was a problem with your order and how I can help.” Thank you.
Birthing Wild Mythos Drums. During the misty rains in March of 2016, Muse and Mystery burst into my heart and mind on a wander in the Live Oak woodland of the Twin Lakes in Santa Cruz, evoking me urgently to create a wild and powerful shamanic drum for an upcoming Trance Dance ceremony. The vision was profound that this drum was required by Gaia as a necessary ally in guiding a SoulCraft Intensive with the Animas Valley Institute, to support the next generation of cultural artisans of earth wise leadership.
Listening closely, the message revealed that a powerful mythopoetic gateway image would be communicated to me, which I was to paint on the newly found drum. Through this mysterious conversation I understood, that this wild image was a portal for transforming consciousness as a deeper expression of the particular voice and transformative nature of the drum, in partnership with its "keeper". This image as it hums and sings, is a soulful clarion call to the keeper of the drum, and all the humans who see, or hear and receive its shape shifting medicine, to step boldly towards both their edges of ecological and psychic maturity, and imaginal wisdom leadership to become fully human.
After saying yes to the initial call and continuing to surrender and open to what is wanting to come through me, I further understand that these mythos painted drum images, are invitations to the numinous realm, where the voice, imagination and manifestation of the powerful Dream of Earth - as it might be dreaming now in this huge Turning Time, could be felt and understood. The combination of the aural and imaginal powers of the Wild Mythos Painted Drums are an eco-spiritual summons from the heart and soul of Gaia. All those whom the painted, singing, breathing drum touches, are urged to boldly encounter whatever Mystery has placed on the path before them - whether as dragon, angel, shadow, monster, lover, inspiration, death, or seemingly unsurmountable task - as a catalyzing ally to Soul; as guidance to discover who we are, and what our rightful place on Earth and within the Cosmos is.
Encountering and being affected by a living painted shamanic drum is but one, of many ways of meeting with our destiny and tuning into a summons from Mystery. The encounter may unfold and illuminate for each of us, an insight into our unique niche in the web of life and the one note or one golden thread that is revelatory of our true nature and our personal genius, meant as a gift to the precious web of life on this Blue Green Pearl Dancing Thru The Indigo Star Studded Cosmos.
Thus has Wild Mythos Drums birthed - to serve poignant and longed for human maturation and eco-visionary leadership in these Great Turning Times. I am smitten and grateful that these beautiful beings of power have woven themselves into my core purpose of supporting the most significant of all human journeys - that of discovering "the truth at the center of the image we were born with" (D.Whyte) and gifting creation with the resulting holy creatureness of you. Thank you.

Custom and personalized orders
I don't paint replicas of anything I've painted before. I sell prints of drums I've painted.
Custom painted imagery by Palika on a drum, is only available via the Solo Wild Mythos Painted Drum Journey or the Inspired By You custom painting process.
The Solo Wild Mythos Painted Drum Journey is a personalized, mentored, Daylong Vision Fast in Nature to facilitate a deepening conversation with your drum, Mystery, Soul and Nature - to divine a personally relevant mythopoetic gateway image that I, will paint on your drum. This experiential process is for those ready to partner with a drum of power in service to the Greater Good in these times.
The Inspired By You custom painted drum process is less intense and less committment on your part.
Gift wrapping and packaging
The most important thing to me in packaging is protection and safety in shipping for the drum coming to you. I'm also deeply committed to ecology, so I reuse cardboard and packing protection. Do not expect a pristine new box and beauty in packaging over reusing materials and protecting the unique one of a kind drum as my standard for shipping.
How much does it cost to ship to countries outside of the US
All current shipping prices are for US domestic only. There will be additional shipping costs to ship anywhere else.
