Self Discovery shamanic rattle, made at the Spring Equinox with labradorite crystals

This is a shamanic rattle made from red deer rawhide and hazelwood, and it was made on the day of the Spring Equinox, 2021. We have placed labradorite chips inside and finished off the handle with a layer of bee’s wax produced from rescued bees and some goose feathers.

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 Goose

The overarching energy of Goose is altruism. Goose positions itself for the greater good of its community. Goose has a willingness to do things that bring advantages to others, even if it results in a disadvantage for itself. Take the flight formation of geese as an example. They take it in turns to fly in front, meaning the lead goose has to work harder and therefore at greater cost to itself so that the rest of the gaggle do not need to work as hard.

The energy of Labradorite

Labradorite is a stone ideally suited to heightening your intuition, and it will help you pierce the veil between the different Worlds, enabling you to bring back the information and healing which is most needed at this time. It brings forth the adventurer in you and offers you the chance to embark on a multitude of voyages of self-discovery. It supports you in bonding deeply with the knowledge that self-mastery is the path of true fulfilment.
