This NFT comes to you by permission from a Greek healer/shaman’s altar space. It is remarkable for so many reasons, one of which is the very juxtaposition, to our view perhaps, of Aesclepius and Elvis Presley in the same place at the same time, and especially in this particular place.

Ἀσκληπιός Asklēpiós is a divine patron of medicine who continues to be acknowledged and summoned upon to this day for his substantial healing powers even, knowingly or unknowingly, by those who practice modern technomedicine.

Elvis Presley has been noted by many to have carried the ability to heal during his lifetime. Since his passing there have been a substantial number of accounts that Elvis, or some energy or being associated with Elvis, brings healing to people in dreams and other paranormal experiences, particularly through his music.

The Shaman’s world is often filled with a wide variety of iconic spiritual and other popular figures who merge somewhere in our collective unconscious and occasionally individuate as real people and/or mythical figures here in our world. As in dreams, the rules of what we consider serious and what we regard as frivolous are frequently reversed from what we deem to be normal. This NFT captures the essence of just such a moment.

As this healer has pointed out to me, the proof of his position is demonstrated by the visible flow of divine healing energy coming into Elvis from behind and above him, which is astonishingly reflected, transmitted and dovetailed into the pattern on Elvis’ shirt.
