Shamanic Drum - Goddess Isis
This is a beautiful 14inch Oak Wood frame drum with a Red deer hide, which was carefully selected and traditionally cared for in the Highlands of Scotland.
The Birch Hoop is fire etched with the ancient symbol of the lemniscate, which is depicted here as a the female Earth Serpent, an ancient symbol emanating balance and truth in all aspects of our lives and finished with hand woven back and Red Kite Feathers.
All my drums come with a hand felted Drum Beater, their full Creation Story & a handcrafted anointing oil. You will also be invited to a personal ’Awaken the Drum Ceremony, either in person at my studio, or via zoom.

Here is her Creation Story……
There had been a sense of expectation rising on the edges of the wind, almost as if there was someone or something just over the horizon, waiting to make their presence know.
On the night before this drum was birthed the Searching winds came, they came fast and strong, blowing hard across the lands. The searching winds, if you have not yet met them, are when the winds scour these lands looking for whatever it is they have been sent to find. It is said, that unless the wind knows you well, it’s best to be indoors, or lying flat to the ground when the Searching Winds arrive for fear they might take you instead. Of course, the remedy to this is to always make sure the wind knows you well.
And it was on that night, as I entered my dream temple, that instead of my Dream Maker reaching her hand from her bone cave, it was the Goddess Isis whose hand reached out for mine, beckoning me towards the least wander path in my dream temple . As my feet fell on to the dusty trails I could feel her begin to whisper the primary text into my heart space, so whilst my human ears could not understand, and my soul knew exactly what was being spoken and that, is what is weaved into this drum and is there for the one she is calling to work with.
As we wandered through these tunnels we found ourselves walking back through many times, as if time was unfolding backwards, or perhaps forward, nevertheless it was moving fast. As we walked my hands caressed the walls and I could feel the marks of ancient script carved into the stone and a slight tilt to the land beneath me feet as if I was walking upwards. As we emerged, I found myself in Counsel with the Sky Gods and Winged Ones of this land, and it was in this place, amongst other things, I was gifted 3 Red Kite Feathers, which now adorn the back of this drum – a messenger between the worlds above and below.
On the front of this drum I hand painted the Goddess Isis as she appeared to me, with her wings outstretched in colours of turquoise, blue, purple, red and finished with 18ct gold highlights. The wings of the Goddess Isis are said to symbolise either female birds of prey of Kites or Falcon and represent all aspects the power she holds. And on her head is a Crown of Cow horns and the Sun Disk, which bring in the power to create and the energy of abundance.
Isis is a goddess of many things. As mourner, she was a principal deity in rites connected with the dead, as magical healer, she cured the sick and brought the deceased to life, as mother, she was a role model for all women and for her magical power.
She is finished with a star weaved into her back , woven with handspun red thread, from which is hung the Red Kite Feathers.
This will be a powerful drum for restoring balance, for healing, for transitions – is it you she was birthed for at this time for?
