- Shamanic Phurba are one of the primary ritual tools used in Himalayan Shamanism. They are both magical wand and symbolic knife used for directing energy and attention. Phurba are often worn over the heart of the Shaman and are seen as his magical protector and the container for the soul. Phurba are used to cut away negative energy in the etheric body, to pin down and destroy ghost, spirits and entities. During healing ceremonies, the Shamen will often ask the patient to hold a Phurba to protect their energy and to act as a medium through which he can observe the inner energies of the person being healed. Phurba are also sent as psychic messengers through the Tripple worlds to retrieve information about the origins of the patient's illness and sometimes to retrieve the fragmented aspects of the soul in soul retrieval. The Phurba can also be sent as a psychic weapon to destroy an enemy or the energetic source of disturbance.
Phurba are generally divided into three sections. The lower part is a three-sided blade representing past, present and future. Male, female and child or ying-yang tao. The tip of the Phurba is often covered by a forged iron point and represents the unity and transformation of these energies. On the three sides of the blade, usually two Naga (Snake Gods) crossing over each other a number of times. This represents the kundalini and the transformation of the chakras through spiritual self-realisation. This ancient symbol can be found across the Asian world and in ancient Greece. It was a symbol for the kudicious, the staff of Apollo and as such has become the modern-day symbol for medicine. Sometimes the paired snakes have a third snake in the middle and flanked by a Sun on the right and Moon on the left and a star on the back. This represents the central energy channel and two side channel of the spine. The sun, moon and star are also seen in Shivic symbolism representing the unity of Shiva shakti or male and female energy transformed as creative flow. The Trishul or trident symbol is often depicted on the Phurba and also Represents Shiva and the triple energy channels. The lower portion also often depicts Ganesh holding a snake as a staff. Sometimes Ganesh is abstracted and his trunk is represented by a spiral. He is also sometimes combined with Garuda and may have wings on his back or a beak at the top of the trunk. This combination of creatures is similar to the Macara that appears on Tibitian Phurbas and Macara sometimes appear on Shamanic Phurba particularly amongst those tribal groups with Tibetan origins. Gurung, Tamana, Sherpa, Limbu and Magar. The middle section of the Phurba usually takes the form of a vadra flanked by two never-ending knots. The vadra is a thunderbolt representing limitless energy and the unity of opposites. The never-ending knot is unity in diversity and the process of staying true to one's path.
The top part of the Phurba represents the heavens and transcendent powers. It usually has three gods with a different facial expression which represent both the Hindu trinity Bramaha, Vishnu and Shiva and also a trinity of ancient gods representing rivers, mountains and forest. Above the godheads are various totemic power animals and spirit guides. Sometimes representations of the Shamen riding a tigers, horses, monkeys or leopards.
Some Phurbas take a different form with the triple blades at the bottom and the guru figure at the top. These Phurba represent the teaching wisdom of the ancestors, Banjhakri (Wild Shamen) or Shamanic guru figure. In this video, I describe the detailed symbolism and symbols on about fifty Phurba gathered for over a number of years.

Paul, such respect to your knowledge - and so much envy for your collection.
Beautiful films, and very inspiring, makes me think I ought to do some films of my own on a similar theme... well done and thank you so, so much :)
The phurba at around 49 minutes, I would say is a naga phurba, the cobra body with the wings at the back looks like a classic winged naga to me, and then the cobra head top. Lovely object.
Thank you, Nicholas!

Namaste Sir Paul, how are you?
I would like to know, have you any informations from a Shaman who can give you the precise ritual of healing with a Brass Phurba?
Thank you very much for this so interesting video!
Jay Vajrakilaya!
@@baglabhakta-TantrikShakta hello Jay Namaste all the Nepali shaman I’ve worked with use wooden phurba and occasionally phurba made from dear horn . Tibetan phurba are more often made of metal with an sky iron triangular blade and body or bronze copper or brass top .these metal phurba take several characteristic forms . Antique Tibetan phurba are now extremely rare . Tibetan phurba are central to Buddhism shamanism and tantric practices and there are also secret Tibetan monastic martial arts traditions that use phurba . The form of metal phurba usually follows the same basic 3 part structure common to wooden shamanic phurba although the wooden phurba have much greater variety of form and symbolism . Usually about 20 to 30 symbols per phurba out of a repetare of about 100 symbols where the meaning changes depending on the combination and position within the phurba . I have phurba from across the Himalayas from Tibet nepal and Bhutan . And in a wide variety of materials metals bronze copper sky iron wood some with iron or silver tips dear horn jade crystal and other stones . Other sorts of pointed organic materials are also regularly used as phurba bird beaks claws antelope horns etc and some wooden shamanic phurba and knives have animal parts attached to the top portion particularly eagles feet and dear horns .shamanic . Knives are also used as phurba and in this regard the metallic quality of the blade alters the quality of the energy and practice with a lot more enfaces on cutting away and pinning down . But also the primal hardness of metal is preferred as a transmitter of energy or mantra in to a substance like water to be drunk as part of a ritual . Then the water will be stirred with a knife rather than a phurba . Yes I know shaman who can teach phurba practices for healing . And I’ve filmed a great many healings using phurba .

Dear Sir Paul, Deepest gratitude for your answer! What a knowledge you have!
You're someone very cultivated, very rare nowadays!

I'm interested to have the contact of the Shaman who use the Phurba to heal.
I'm myself a Hindu Tantric healer, I just want to know more healing method and practices.

Where does the praying horse phurba come from?
It’s from Trishali area in Nepal probably the part nearest Sindupalchok where the shaman are mostly Tamang and Sherpa
@@paulwilkinson5970 Thank you for responding so quickly. Why I'm interested is because one of the names gifted to me translates to Praying Horse.
@@wolffeatherdancer that’s a beautiful name . I love the symbolism. Of traveling in prayer 🙏 journeying on one’s spirit horse through the other worlds , horses here have a very positive symbolic meaning of pure thought and intentions moving you rapidly toward good fortune . The shaman often call their dengue drums their horse also
