the spirit of the hides i work with...

I mostly work with the spirit of Deer, Goat and Elk when i birth my sacred drums/rattles, depending availabilty...  Below is some info you can refer to on the spiritual aspects of these spirit hide/animal... i also invite you to go within to personally ask the spirit of the animal what it is they can teach + share with you... 

​Note... animal hides are skin and react to the environment around them, just like our own skin... it can get dry or moist depending on the humidity and the weather... drums birthed with animal hides constantly change with the weather, thus shifting their sound... and, when it's more humid or wet (raining), the hide will 'drink water' which can cause the sound to lower... where, in a more dryer or very cold environment, hides will tighten and sound much higher... When you birth your own sacred drum or purchase one from me, i will send you detailed info on how to properly take care of your drum and enliven it... A good 'rule of thumb' is to always be aware of extremes with any instrument - particularly with natural hide drums... never leave your instrument in an extremely hot or cold environment - just like you would never leave your child or beloved pet in those extremes as well... Sacred drums are living, breathing spirits that represent the voice of our dear mother earth... let us respect her beautiful spirit-voice! x (((o)))
​
deer spirit
Deer Spirit...
The spirit of Deer helps to opens the heart chakra, teaching us to trust and to empower the feminine qualities of love and wisdom.  When we are healing 'poverty consciousness', the belief that there is just not enough time, money or love, drumming with deer reminds us that we live in an abundant universe, with more than enough of everything.  Deer helps us learn the laws of circulation – when we feel unloved, then it is time to love others, and that love comes back many-fold - deer can also teach us about the spirit of gentleness and understanding - to be gentle with ourselves, to offer kindness to all living things.
- working with deer on a drum is usually a lighter/thinner hide holding a good 'ring' sound... thinner hides are faster to 'drink water' thus becoming lower or flatter in humid or wetter climates like the westcoast where it can rain a lot... they are also quick to warm up/tighten too... and... they love to ‘sing’ often with many rich overtones...
​

goat spirit
Goat Spirit...
The spirit of Goat helps us to 'stand our ground'... and helps us with sure-footedness and balance.... We can call on the spirit of goat when we need independence coupled with plenty.... and, when we are ready to take on something new, and there is no need for guilt.  Goat spirit helps with gaining confidence and firm cornerstones for personal or spiritual development.  For those who find themselves stuck or wholly misplaced, the spirit of goat gets you moving again - Let that energy take you where you need to be for finding answers.  Goat may not move swiftly, but slow and steady is best when you start losing balance... Once you’re on your way with goat guiding, you’ll find the determination necessary for success.
- working with goat on a drum is often a lighter/thinner hide holding a good 'ring/singing' sound... thinner hides are faster to 'drink water' thus becoming lower or flatter in humid or wetter climates like our west-coast where it can rain a lot... they are also quick to warm up/tighten too... Goat hide can also be thicker depending what part of the hide is used... ie., African style 'Djembe' carved wooden drums and Irish Bodhran frame drums are usually made with thicker goat hides - holding a strong loud sound... and... they love to ‘sing’ often with many rich overtones...
​

elk spirit
Elk Spirit...
​About the spirit of Elk... When we are working in the West on the Wheel of Life - it is the spirit of water, emotions and our shadow self... Elk spirit offers us the self-esteem, stamina, strength and endurance to get through the edges, from the known to the unknown with a strong voice.  As we go through and face our fears, we expand ourselves and add more trust to our circle.  Trust is the lubricant that helps us take the “leap of faith” that leads us to unity with spirit and to a reclaiming of our original grace.  Elk can be a powerful spirit for helping heal child abuse and addictive patterns.  The Elk can gently bring up our unresolved grief and help purify and cleanse us through crying and grieving our sweet tears.  The vibration of Elk opens the third Chakra, at the belly, where we carry our fears and undigested values that interfere with our pure will.  The Elk is a communal animal, hanging out with members of the same sex except during mating season.
- living in a more humid or wetter climate, Elk hide will not 'drink water' as fast as thinner hides and hold it's sound longer... Elk also holds a very warm, often lower sound depending on the thickness...

NOTE... When available, i also work in Moose, Buffalo + Horse spirit - a surcharge may apply...

• full moon raven ‘wing-to-wing’ drum... SOLD

Picturespirit of goat + raven…
wing-to-wing… new birth over this samhuinn/samhain time, last full moon in aries and this scorpio new moon… a 16-inch goat spirit i painted in gold acrylics… on the front is a gold raven touching the wing of the raven spirit that is within the beautiful goat hide at top right… she is also flying with the triple spiral that is carved on the front kerbstone at the ancient site of Newgrange, Ireland—built during the Neolithic period, around 3200 BC, making it older than Stonehenge and the Egyptian pyramids… 
     Raven holds many meanings... in Celtic cosmology Raven is associated with the goddess Mórrígan and Lugh, a sun god... also Brân, a protector of the people...   Among the Irish Celts, Raven was associated with the Triple Goddess, the Morrigan, who took the shape of Raven over battlefields as Chooser of the Slain. She was a protector of warriors, such as Chuhulian and Fionn MacCual.  Raven is also the totem of the pan-Celtic Sorceress/Goddess Morgan le Fay, who was also called the Queen of Faeries. In some tales, she is Queen of the Dubh Sidhe, or Dark Faeries, who were a race of tricksters who often took the form of ravens.  "To have a raven's knowledge" is an Irish proverb meaning to have a seer's supernatural powers.  Raven is considered one of the oldest and wisest of animals...
     The spirit of goat helps us to 'stand our ground'... and helps us with sure-footedness and balance.... we can call on the spirit of goat when we need independence coupled with plenty.... and, when we are ready to take on something new, and there is no need for guilt… goat spirit helps with gaining confidence and firm cornerstones for personal or spiritual development.  for those who find themselves stuck or wholly misplaced, the spirit of goat can help you get moving again - let that energy take you where you need to be for finding answers.  goat may not move swiftly, but slow and steady is best when you start losing balance...

“As a sanctioned ceremonialist, the use of sacred objects is part of my everyday practice.  The creation and birth of my drums, rattles, and pipes begins with careful consideration, prayer, and spiritual guidance.      The sacred ceremonial rattle that I commissioned weaver to create for me was conceived and birthed in a holy and mindful manner.  This sacredness is in the Spirit of my rattle and alive in my sacred ceremonies.   Not only is the artwork painted on my rattle exquisite, so too, is its impeccable construction."

Other shamanic, ocean + reiki drums... 


 







golden Reiki healing drum...   
• Custom orders are accepted based on this design (mallet style + hide will vary)...
​- contact me to order >>

12-inch Reiki healing drum in thin Goat hide on a maple hoop, with a soft felt inner handle - comes with a matching mallet.  The Reiki symbol  "Choku Rei" has been painted on the front hide and also blown/drawn within the drum. 
     This is a sweet gentle sounding drum that is light weight - perfect for Reiki healing + clearing  over the client.  Because the hide being so thin, it is very sensitive to the environment and will drink water quickly, thus lowering the tone and if it is warmer or colder/dryer outside, the tone will raise - her sound will change up and down - It is also very easy to raiser or lower the tone...
     The meaning of the 2nd degree "Choku Rei" Reiki symbol is, "Place the power of the universe here" ... The spiritual energy of Goat offers strong protection of holding one's groundedness, standing strong in balance...
Please contact me for a Reiki drum custom order.... shipping + handling extra... see below for pricing >>

“As a sanctioned ceremonialist, the use of sacred objects is part of my everyday practice.  The creation and birth of my drums, rattles, and pipes begins with careful consideration, prayer, and spiritual guidance.  The sacred ceremonial rattle that I commissioned weaver to create for me was conceived and birthed in a holy and mindful manner.  This sacredness is in the Spirit of my rattle and alive in my sacred ceremonies.   Not only is the artwork painted on my rattle exquisite, so too, is its impeccable construction."
—Denise King Francisco, MI, USA

"My Drum... My beautiful new drum. How can I begin to give thanks or express gratitude to weaver who orchestrated her birth. My drum is my voice...my heart beat.  She shines the light from within my soul and is my moral compass through my journey in this life.  When I asked weaver to birth me a drum to honour my friend Deb who transitioned back to the Universe last December, I was asking her to help me find my own pathway to the Universe.  And she delivered.  Weaver gave my drum a name - Prairie Gold.  She has a vibration and a sound that immediately transports me from where ever I may be back to my place here on the Prairie.  And it is here on the Prairie where I belong. Blessings to you weaver..."

"I wanted to thank you weaver, for the rattles.  All 3 of them that I have purchased over the past 6 months, they are simply stunning.  They are so full of spirit and magic that as soon as I rattle them my room comes to life.  They are the perfect size, so easy to handle and sound so good. I just love my rattles." 
—Sharon B., Barriere, BC


"The Shamanic Reiki Healing Drum created and birthed by weaver has the most intriguing and wise sounds.  This drum accompanying me is made of goat hide and thus has the sweetest sounds and can also deepen to levels of thunder.  Talk about versatile!  I have used this blessed drum for my own journeys and to guide others, and for Shamanic Reiki healings.  The sacred love and pure intention placed within the drum during its creation is nearly palpable - I am forever grateful to weaver for her many gifts, including the incredibly powerful drums she births.  I savour my relationship to this drum, to weaver, and the great Spirits connecting us all."
​-- D.M., Nanaimo, BC

"You have no idea how much healing Willow (my sacred drum) and the rattles did in New York with me.  Such powerful instruments of love.  Thank you again sister for being a part of the magic.”
—Bahia Askri Makhoul, Halifax, Nova Scotia


"Ahey!  For all those called to the spirit-healing of drum: weaver is indeed a masterful guide to co-creating with Great Spirit all that needs to be in yours!  Contact weaver and your heart beat will be aligned with the drums of thousands around our blessed planet!"
