Rattles
​
Rattles are a very powerful Shamanic tool.
They can be made from many types of materials, Rawhide, Gourds. Animal Shells or wood. They can have Seed, Stones, Crystals or Shells inside. They can be charged by putting crystals in them or other objects
Energy can be directed with rattles as with a wand.
The Rattle tends to draws the spirit world into the material world whereas the Drum carries the shaman to into the Spirit world. They are said to speak the Voice of the surrounding nature Spirits or Deities
We make our rattles from Rawhide of the Red deer normally, Sometimes we have gourd ones available
To create the sound we use small rounded stones .
Rattles can be left with their Natural finish or Painted with a pattern or Medicine /Totem Animal, Finished with simple beading or Fur and/or feathers and Buckskin .
Handles are of wood sourced in a sustainable and natural way .
