Herth-Ing Rattle

This rattle is my new personal rattle...

it is a HerthIng power rattle,

 dedicated to the Goddess and God of this land... Hertha and Ing...

The rattle head is red deer, to which full honour and blessings have been made. The handle is Birch wood from a fallen tree, again crafted with honour and blessings. Inside are small stone chips from a local stream, two pieces of clear quartz crystal, and small pieces of the Birch bark laced with patchouli oil.... smells wonderful and Earthy. :) the handle has had many oilings with a mix of extra virgin olive oil and some essential oils.

Sam's Earth and Fire Rattle

The creation process for this rattle was completely guided by Sam and spirit.

The red deer skin was soaked in tea leaves and water to give

a really nice deep brown Earth colour,

with the element of fire in the red stiching and plaited grip.

This is a beautiful rattle, for which I had to step aside from my own

creative input and simply become the channel for

Sam and Spirit to work through.

A process that worked really well.

Vermilion Fire Rattle

Crafted with Fallow and Birch.

The skin was soaked in the bark stripped

from the stick and red ochre for colour.

Plaited yarn used for lacing, whipping

and decoration.
