In episode three of Practically Magick, hosts Courtney Pearl and Jamie Osborne dive deep into the transformative experience of drum making, ancestral connection, and the healing power of fluorite. Recorded at Rising Moon Minerals in Riverton, Utah, this episode is a heartfelt exploration of spiritual tools, emotional healing, and the magic of community.

Tarot Pull: Ace of Pentacles and Earth Energy

The episode begins with a tarot pull from Courtney’s reflective Prism deck, revealing the Ace of Pentacles—a card symbolizing new beginnings, earth energy, and grounding. The imagery sparks a conversation about ancestral memory and the way rituals like drumming awaken something deep within our DNA.

Jamie shares her current read, When the Drummers Were Women, which explores the ancient feminine roots of drumming. The book connects Paleolithic traditions to modern spiritual practices, reinforcing the idea that drumming is a sacred, ancestral act.

“Drumming, especially those big drums, are definitely root chakra based. It connects us to tribal traditions and ancient ceremonies.”

Awakening Ancestral Memory Through Sound

Courtney reflects on how certain sounds—like bagpipes—can trigger ancestral memory. Whether it’s Scottish highland music or tribal drumming, these vibrations stir something deep within us. Jamie adds that ancestral connection doesn’t have to be limited to bloodline—it can be cultural, spiritual, or intuitive.

“You can learn about any culture, any religion, any music. When it resonates, lean into it. That’s where the power is.”

This inclusive approach to spirituality encourages listeners to explore what calls to them, regardless of heritage.

Healing Modalities: Crystals, Muscle Testing, and Dream Work

Jamie recounts a recent experience with a customer seeking chakra healing. She recommended Courtney for deeper energy work, and within days, the client had a transformative session. Courtney used muscle testing to identify the crystal Shattuckite, which neither of them had encountered before—until Jamie spotted it in her shop the next day.

“It was beautiful. She got what she needed from me, and I gave her what she needed from another angle. That’s the magic of collaboration.”

Courtney also shares a powerful story about a dream interpretation session that unexpectedly led to emotional clarity between two friends. The session revealed subconscious fears and helped one client express the need for space in a friendship.

“Healing is uncomfortable. If you’re going to be a mystic, you’ll be confronted with things you didn’t expect.”

Sunshine Community Spotlight: Land of 1000 Hills

The episode features a Sunshine Community Minute, spotlighting Amber from Land of 1000 Hills, a cozy coffee shop in Utah. Amber shares her vision of creating a space that feels like a second home—hosting book clubs, game nights, and community events.

“We want this to be a place where people bring their families, meet friends, and feel like they belong.”

This segment highlights the importance of community support in spiritual and personal growth.

Drum Making as Spiritual Birth

The heart of the episode centers on Courtney and Jamie’s experience at a drum making workshop hosted by Sheree at a local wellness farm. The process was more than crafting—it was a spiritual birth.

Jamie chose a buffalo hide, which featured a visible spine imprint. She felt an immediate emotional connection, sobbing during the cleansing ritual.

“I wanted protection. The spine felt like a message—lean into your backbone, your power. I was honoring the animal and creating something sacred.”

Courtney, who made a smaller drum, shared how the experience helped her disassociate—not from stress, but from awe. Jamie grounded her with black tourmaline, a crystal she uses for protection and emotional balance.

“Birth is messy,” Sheree said. And that metaphor carried through the entire workshop, as participants held their hides like newborns, infused them with intention, and created tools for healing.

The Science of Drumming and Brainwave Healing

Courtney explains how drumming induces alpha brainwave states, which are associated with relaxation and clarity. Studies show that 40% of people can’t access this state through meditation—but drumming for 20 minutes can get them there.

“Even if you’re off-beat, it doesn’t matter. The vibration heals. It’s the only thing that worked for some people in addiction recovery.”

She shares a story of a man in recovery who overcame a heroin craving after a 20-minute drumming session. The power of rhythm and vibration is undeniable.

Meeting the Spirit of the Drum

Courtney plans to guide Jamie through a drum spirit meditation, a ritual that helps practitioners connect with the soul of their drum. This relationship deepens the healing experience and allows the drum to “speak” during sessions.

“When I drum, I hear tones change. I know when chakras are blocked. My drum tells me.”

Drums become sacred companions, used in rituals, healing sessions, and even travel—Courtney took hers to Stonehenge, where she drummed in the center of the ancient circle.

Crystal of the Week: Fluorite

The episode wraps with a discussion on fluorite, a crystal known for:

• Focus and clarity
• Third eye activation
• Calming energy
• Support for ADHD and mindfulness

Jamie shares how she uses fluorite in bracelets for her daughter and recommends it for students or anyone needing mental clarity. Courtney reflects on how she originally bought fluorite to support her relationship with her son, who has ADHD.

“Fluorite helps me stay calm and focused when parenting gets hard. It’s beautiful and powerful.”

They showcase different types of fluorite, including yellow fluorite for the solar plexus and natural fluorite from Pakistan with geometric patterns.
