That drum with an image straight out of Franklin Mint collector plates is amusing. And that's not the only comedy in his bio.
http://walkswiththunder.com/biography.htm"It's Good To Be The Shaman"
Wait a minute, he's knocking off a quote from a Mel Brooks movie? And the original line, "it's good to be the King", showed the King as a crude sleaze who enjoyed assaulting and harassing women.
"Walks With Thunder is Shaman Born. His grandfather was a Shaman for the Caddo tribe, as was his father before him.
He has been able to see Grandfather spirits since the age of two, and could bi-locate (literally in two places at once) at fourteen."
No doubt used to fondle women and get away with it.
“I didn’t know those things were special. I thought every one could do it, and you know I was right. I have been on the Red Road a long time before I even knew there was a Red Road."
So you're actually bragging that you were ignorant for a long time?
"Walks With Thunder lives a spiritually pure life, abstaining from alcohol and tobacco (except for the occasional ceremony), doesn’t drink coffee, and uses no recreational pharmaceuticals."
"I didn’t learn the way of the Shaman from another Shaman. The Spirits teach me gently when I sleep. It was a surprise to me that other people teach my class very much the same as I do. I had thought I was the only one. Those spirits just can’t keep a good thing to themselves. Come to think of it, I can’t either."
In other words, come one come all to the super-spirchul fire sale! Take a look, the guy's pretty funny, esp when he doesn't intend to be.
"Class One: Introduction to the Energy Body
I will take all the mystery out of the path for you so you can journey to the underworld and meet your power animal We will go to the upper world and meet your spirit guide. Soul retrieval techniques, and how to remotely heal, are some of the many things we will learn to do. Our middle world journeys to visit people you know, but haven’t seen in a lately will amaze you. You will experience the power of traveling in our world and be able to visit these people and obtain accurate information about your absent friends. Our homework will include changing the weather at a place and time of your choice. Forgot to mention, yes, there will be homework. This will develop real skills you can use in your modern, everyday life.
You will learn to use a pendulum as an Energy Body Tool, reading it like a meter for health energy centers and out-of-balance energy centers. Our hands will draw out negative energy after our Energy shield-building lesson. We will practice calling Grandfather/Grandmother spirits to aid us in our energy work. You will also learn how to smudge and why do it.
We'll explore the uses of Energy Transfer and its limitations, drawing out the negative energy from the body to relive chronic pain and promote physical healing with gentle pressure from our hands. You will learn how to make Charged Crystals for healing, and the care and cleaning of Charged Crystals.
Our Reference book: Hands of Light by Barbara Ann Brennan
Class Two: Energy Body
We will cover Remote Healing, Soft Tissue resurfacing, Resistant People, what Energy Body doesn’t work on and of course we will practice. The class will practice Diagnosis and then remedy.
We introduce Healing circle, and Healing Drum Circle. As always we will use out rose quartz and pendulums.
You'll learn how to find and remove negative intrusions. You will learn a remote healing technique with a Middle World Journey....
You will learn the protection phrase and how to deal with negative energy spirits. Don’t worry, they are all cowards and it's an easy thing to do.
After completion of this course, you will, if you so choose, be offered membership in a Thunder Society, and receive a Thunderbird necklace that has been blessed to aid you on your spiritual path. You will, of course, have to pass a skills test. Don’t worry, no one has ever failed this test.
Class Three: Underworld Journey and Power Animals, Oh my!
A shaman is usually more powerful than a fortune teller because he has friends! Power Animals come to the aid of a shaman, who watch his or her back. These totem animals will open doors you never knew existed and keep you safe while you travel. They also have wisdom to teach and a sense of humor to be enjoyed. We will connect with that spiritual power and then bond to become an unstoppable team. Be warned that not only you will see or feel this power but those close to you as well, your family and pets included. There are also side effects from this type of journey… speeding tickets, for one. You're on your own for those.
Your power animal will give you a favor so you will know its power and your partner in class will ask for a favor from you and your power animal as well. Part of this exercise is to see what you can and cannot expect from a power animal. No Loto numbers though
Class Four: Introduction to the Stone Nation
I was in Iraq, it was very hot, and the people around me had on desert camouflage and body armor. They carried weapons as did I, though I had something they did not, a medical bag. As we moved with caution through the village streets I saw a man in the front get shot in the left leg. Others located the source of gunfire and began shooting in that direction. The wounded man kept calling for a Medic, and I found myself running over there to help. I dragged him close to a building and reached into my bag for a compress to help stop the bleeding. All I found in there was a rose quartz stone. It glowed softly in the darkness of the bag. That being all there was in the bag, I took it out and pushed it onto the wound. I frantically searched my gear for something more than just a stone. That's when I heard the wounded man say 'Thanks, don't know what you did, but that doesn't hurt at all now.' I moved my hand and looked at the stone I had pushed over the wound. It was clean and there was no blood. Not even the wound remained. I sat there in disbelief, and said I don't like props. Then I woke up....
Over the last year the Stone Nation has shown up at my classes as gifts and now Staff's are showing up. Who knows, this year I may even learn to sing. Believe me, you don't want to come to that class. This one, as with all of my classes, is blessed by the Grandfather Spirits. Come and see what I have learned with humility and a new found respect for props.
Class Five: Soul Retrieval and Altered Vision
Altered Vision, the ability to see auras and the energy of the body. I have some easy exercises we will do in class to see the energy body
Class Six: Dark Spirits and then...THE TEST!

No one has ever failed this test. To pass all you have to do is get one thing right...After these classes you are encouraged to come to advanced class
