Shamanic Drum - The Wild One
This is a beautiful 14inch oak frame drum, fire etched with a Stag and cover in a ‘Hair On’ Red Deer hide, which was carefully selected and traditionally cared for in the Highlands of Scotland.
He was birthed the energies of the Dark Moon and first spoke on the day the Eclipse took place. He is a powerful one, who’s voice holds deep resonance, echoing the heartbeat of Mother Earth.
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 his Creation Story……
As I drew the waters up from the deep Well that runs under this land I was called to collect 3 of stones that circle the base of the Ancient Grandmother Tree who stands as beloved Kin on these lands around my home. The Stones were of Snow Quartz, Golden Healer and Preseli Bluestone, all who had rested there for many Moons, long after being gathered from a place just across the Borderlands in the Welsh Hills. They are filled with the greatest of stories, of lost wisdom and deep remembering.
I placed the iron bath under Grandmother Apple and I filled her with the Well water, submerging this beautiful hide as I watched streams of air bubbles rise to the surface, my Soul feeling held by what was being released here. As the bubbles slowed I placed the three stones on top, to act both as an anchor for this hide and, also for what felt like a gathering of the ancient ones so they could to reminisce of times long ago, when all our lives lived to a different kind of beat.
As I sat there I raised my gaze up to through the branches of Grandmother Apple, catching a glimpse of the first green shoots of new life emerging from her knarled and twisted branches, and one apple that still hung there from last year, although now weathered, shrunken and old, seemed to be midwifing the new life being born here. I found myself pulled back into the stories which are weaved into the fabric of these lands, the old stories that feel like the primordial blue print of this world, almost as if they were being sung forth in this place and this time, where there was a sense of no past, present or future, just all here, now
As I began to birth this drum, on the night Grandmother Moon was dark in the sky I was called back to a time when our lands were filled with native tribes as whispers of the Iceni, the Cornovii, the Ordovices and the Corieltauvi whirled through my Soul and around my heart, I am sure that the smell of smoke that filled my senses arose from a powerful remembering of when we lived in tribal communities, a time of long ago.
There feels a raw primordial energy held in this one. His Voice is deep, low and resonant in the most beautiful of ways – I suspect this is the sound of heartbeat we would hear when we were carried in our Mothers Wombs and, if you laid your head to the earth, and softened your breath I suspect it would be his sound that would sing through as the heartbeat of Mother Earth.
His Drum Face roles between the thickest of Red Deer Hair in some places, right round to where the hair falls in gentle soft spiral and his oak Frame is fire etched with the image of a Stag and you will find the Ogham of Stag hidden inside, finished with a Stag on his back, pulling forth the energies of strength, vitality and grace.
Although he is Oak Barked rubbed he may shed some small pieces of his hair over time, but I suspect with that his beauty and magic will become more and more potent & special.
He is magnificent.
