An 18 inch deer hide shamanic drum crafted on an ash hoop including a chrysoprase crystal and includes free a particularly special drum beater.
BORN: Sunday 3 May at 2:56pm
Well, what a journey this one took me on! The male deer was very clear with me that I was to show you his 'battle scars' so I have included an image of the original hide in this listing. When I birth drums I journey to connect to the hide and the hoop as well as the incoming drum soul. So this is what I was shown:
Deer: "It took 2 bullets to kill me, I am a fighter, tenacious, full of life force energy, I am not easy to take down. Words for me are protective, support and guardianship."
Later on when I was cutting the hide and saw it in full, there were also scars running across the body and he was almost comical in his desire to be see as a brave, proud, strong full of energy soul.
Ash: Showed me how strong and wise it is and how it will hold the energy of the deer well.
Drum Soul: Floated in at the end of the journey like a soft cloud blending the energies of the hide and hoop, telling me 'I will settle all this down, smooth out the edges, fill in the gaps, I am a Master Drum Soul, full of kind wisdom and experience. I am coming in to support the work that needs to be done right now. Working with the fighter energy of the deer and the ascended strength of the Ash, the body that will provide the vessel of strength to hold me.
The drum then told me that I needed a bigger hoop! I had selected a 16 inch so swapped that out for an 18 inch in Ash. He showed me a strong directional cross design, and a white crystal for the centre. This was the closest and most energetically aligned crystal I could find and it was accepted.
The deer had wanted me to show you the two holes, so I was able to include the smaller one in the drum, on the top rim in the North direction. The other I was able to include by wrapping it around the beater handle. I was also shown to include the black leather/suede fringing.
The beater handle was gifted by another drum birther in the room that day. A piece of Hazel. I love the free flowing energy of the gift aspect and of course the deep symbolism of Hazel particularly in Celtic mythology, of wisdom, knowledge and insight.
A truly remarkable drum that offered the name 'Rise' to represent him for this listing.
ENJOY!
Is the medicine of this drum you?
Rise
My shamanic drums for sale are made from sustainably sourced hide from either Scotland or the Netherlands. All my drums come with a free beater that usually has the same deer skin used in some way, to connect them. I always work in a sacred ceremonial way respecting all parts of the process.
