Full Moon Beater-Rattle with Moonstone

This is a shamanic beater-rattle made from red deer rawhide and hazelwood. We made it at the time of the November Full Moon. We have placed moonstone crystal chips inside and finished off the handle with a layer of bee’s wax produced from rescued bees and some duck feathers.

Our beater-rattles perform two functions, allowing you to beat your drum and play a rattle at the same time, creating a really special sound.

About the making of this rattle

Our rattles are carefully crafted from materials sourced from the UK. The hazel handles are harvested from traditional coppiced woodlands in Lancashire and polished with wax from bees that have been rescued. The hides used to create the rattle heads are from red deer and horses that have roamed British meadows and moorlands. We decorate each rattle with feathers from birds we find out on our walks or lying by the side of roads. Our rabbit fur comes from the southwest of England from rabbits that have been culled through a wildlife conservation programme.

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.

The energy of Duck

Ducks are masters of their environment, and all three of the realms, as they are really comfortable in the water, in the air, and on the land. Duck brings with it the energies of adaptability, resourcefulness, and agility. Despite having short and stubby wings they are one of the fastest fliers of all the birds, and the male’s feathers can be particularly flamboyant in a multitude of colours. The females are particularly resourceful, and indeed devious with the way they choose a mate. Although they can’t stop the males avenging them, they can choose which male they want to fertilize their young.
