Mystical Forest Bear Medicine Drum
I don’t think I could have loved the emergence of this gorgeous drum more. It’s been slow & intentional.
Birthed a few months ago this one has sat patiently waiting, gentle strumming the timelines, calling in all that needs to be called & whispering all that needs to be spoken.
I4 inch Oak frame with a Red Deer Hide drum head from the Highlands of Scotland. Hand painted with a mystical forest bear who has been wandering through my Dreamtime, nudging me.
All my drums come with a hand felted Drum Beater, their Creation Story & a handcrafted anointing oil, plus care instructions and suggestion of how to wake your drum.
Here is the Creation Story……

The hide this drum is from the Highlands of Scotland form one of my favourite suppliers. In the Celtic traditions Red Deer are held in high regard and are closely intertwined with nature, spirituality, and cultural heritage. They are symbols of renewal, transformation, strength, virility, and are viewed as graceful spiritual guides.
The Red Deer and stag are considered some of the most sacred animals in Celtic mythology.
Held on a 14 inch Oak Frame who I walked the circle of 13 oak trees with before I birthed this drum. When I walk the boundaries here I often sense these Oaken elders are deep in council and holding and balancing the membranes between Human and More than Human Kin. That sense of holding is powerfully felt in this drum and will help hold solid ground for those journeys to the other realms.
Oaks are stepped in Folklore & Myth. They are said to hold tremendous healing powers, which some say can bring the greatest healing simply by walking around an Oak tree and wishing the illness to be carried off by the first bird that fly’s from its branches.
Oaks are said to give a special virtue to other plants that grew upon its trunk or branches, such as the mistletoe and polypody fern. The herbalist Gerard said, ‘that which growth on the bodies of olde Okes is preferred before the rest: in steede of this most do use that which is found under the Okes….’
To me Oaks symbolise Strength, protection, steadfastness.
On the back the handle is woven into a stag - a beautiful legacy handed down by my drum making teacher .
This drum feels like the one who stands at the betwixt and the between, an intermediary between worlds, holding them both this beautiful benevolence & a sacred fierceness.
Woven with this drum are all the dualities of Stag & Bear: the grace & beauty of Stag; the strength & protection of Bear.
Threads of abundance, wisdom, courage.
Union of prey & predator.
When I hold this one in my hands I am remind of the great forest Spirits and the channel they hold between the Human & more than Human worlds.
Feels a potent drum for Earth work.
All my drums are birthed in deep ceremony and are cleansed with beloved plant kin, harvested from my lands.
