14″ ‘Harvest Moon’ Shamanic Drum. Red Deer with Black Moonstone

This is a 14 inch shamanic drum made from Red Deer rawhide and birthed at the time of the Harvest Full Moon in October 2021. The nights are getting darker now and the last of the harvest is being brought in ready for the winter. We have painted an owl motif on the inside of the hoop and set a Black Moonstone crystal in the handle.

The hoop is English Ash waxed with bees wax from rescued bees. The tension ring is wrapped in a suede and the fluffy fabric finishes off the handle so that it is really comfortable to hold.

The energy of Black Moonstone

The dark nights through winter are a time for inner reflection and tuning into that innate wisdom that lies deep within. Black moonstone is a warrior stone, as the spiritual journey is not for the faint-hearted. It involves facing hard truths and changing old patterns that are holding us back from our souls true desires. Black moonstone can help process emotional and ingrained belief systems to move through to a more complete version of ourselves.

The energy of Red Deer

When we encounter the Red Deer in the wild, our breath catches and we are transfixed by their graceful features and delicate movements. We can draw on their energy to give us the power to deal with challenges with grace. As Red Deer holds a real gentleness, we can be sensitive and intuitive was we walk our path. We can also hold onto vigilance and also adaptability, with the ability to change direction quickly should we need to. Just as the deer has an uncanny sense of where to find the green freshness earth provides, we can ask the deer within ourselves to seek out our inner treasures.

About the making of this drum

We make our drums from our home on the edge of the West Pennine Moors in the northwest of England. We create the drums in sacred space each drum is birthed through ceremony, over mugwort incense.

We also take great care in the sourcing of our materials. The Red Deer hide used to make this drum is from Scotland and the timber for the Ash hoop is sourced from UK ash and is crafted by a local carpenter in Wigan. The wood has a layer of bees wax to bring out it’ natural grain. The wax is from bees which have been rescued.
