Shamanic Drum - Starlight

This drum is love. She reminds me of all the ways to love in the world and all the ways we have moved ourselves of connection to the world that loves us so.

As I birthed this one I was reminded of how we once knew this world so intimately we could sail the seas just by feeling the wind on our face or by feeling swell of the sea beneath our boat. And how we would dream so deeply with the Wild kin around us we would be able to foretell what was to come.

There was a remembering of a knowing we all hold somewhere deep in our bones, the one that tells us we are always loved by Oak, Buzzard, Rose, and Ash, even by the Slugs and Snails.

This Drum reminds me all that all of everything is just waiting for us to fall back into love once more.

When I hold this drum up to the light the hide transforms once again, reminding me of the stars in the sky and how sometimes the beauty around is is hidden, until we find a different lens to look through. There is a tiny spirit hole in the hide. A spirit hole is a naturally formed hole that is considered very rare and often seen as a blessing of the perfectness in the imperfection. In some stories they also symbolize the Wounded Healer archetype as the hole ( the wound) has stayed strong through the birthing process and so can offer this medicine to support us in our healing journey.

The handle of this drum is woven into a Celtic cross holding beautiful Rhodonite Stone. The handle sits slightly off center pointing to the West holding out an invitation to dive into the depths of Soul and descent, for it is only the darkness we can find our true light.

Rhodonite Stones are known as the Balancer and bringer of compassion. This one nurtures love through the heart chakra and will be helpful to clear aways scars and emotions that may be keeping us in the past.

Held on a 16 inch Oak Frame who I carried with me as 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 and as I approached Mother Tree a Buzzard flew overhead, bringing my attention to the Sky and the unseen stars that rest there in the brightness of the day. Reminding me of the power of that which cannot be seen when we are sat in the light.

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….’  Oaks symbolize Strength, protection, steadfastness.

I can feel the love as I hold this one in my hands. There is a sense of the wise grandmother with kind eyes and a deeply loving heart here.

All my drums are birthed in deep ceremony and are cleansed with beloved plant kin, harvested from my lands.
