Stunning Shamanic Rattle with Celtic Love Knot, Hibiscus, Sodalite and English Ash wood handle handcrafted by us in our rural workshop. The bowl of this rattle is hand sewn and filled with Sodalite to ease mental chatter and encourage inner connection and Hibiscus for self love and forgiveness. We have painted a Celtic Love Knot on one side and a blooming branch symbol on the other. The handle is made from a beautiful piece of locally found Ash wood. 
Ash is a hermaphrodite tree carrying both female and male energy and  is closely aligned to the elemental Earth. Ash is a sacred tree of the Celts and the Greeks associated this tree with Neptune and Mercury. The Druids associated this tree with the adder. The Nords held this tree sacred to Woden (Odin), the Nordic World Tree, Yggdrasil, is an Ash tree and is considered to be the father of all trees. The Welsh associated this tree with the God Gwydion. It is considered to be the Tree of Life.
The Ash tree and its wood help instil peace of mind and good health and it contains the qualities of reliability, faithfulness and loyalty. Ash being a sacred Celtic tree we have also burnt the Ogham symbol of nion onto it for extra energy. 
The Celtic Love knot, sometimes referred to as the Anam Cara Knot (Deriving from the Irish words for soul friend from Celtic wisdom) is a more modern adaptation of the traditional Triquetra or Trinity Knot. The pattern is infinite, and it is used to represent a relationship of everlasting love, friendship and sisterhood.
We have left the bark on the handle and finished it with a little of our homemade lavender, beeswax and olive oil polish for protection, recycled leather fringe trim, cruelty free naturally molted feathers and vintage beads. Approx 38cm / 15" length.
Shamanic Rattles are the voices of our ancestors and spirits who come to help the healing process. They are vessels for magic and sacred items and carry the energy of rain and water within them. When you use a rattle to clear energy or a space the vibration and sound takes on the energy of water as it flows around and washes over you gently cleansing and refreshing your aura and energy as though standing under a waterfall
Shamanic Rattles can be used for healing, clearing, raising vibration and just for the joy their wonderful resonance brings to the soul. 
We are very mindful to pay our respects to the animals spirit and ask for its blessing as it is reborn as a wonderful sacred object. Our rattles are made using goat hide which brings with it the spirit of this confident and balanced creature. 
You have the option the add a recycled fabric bag to your order to keep your sacred rattle wrapped in it's own space.
All our rattles are created with love, positive intentions and just a little magick )0(
