Stunning Shamanic Rattle with Triquetra, Black Tourmaline, Myrrh and Holly wood handle handcrafted by us in our rural workshop. The bowl of this rattle is hand sewn and filled with Black Tourmaline for strength and grounding and Myrrh for cleansing and protection. We have painted a Triquetra on one side and a tree symbol on the other. The handle is made from a beautiful piece of locally found Holly wood. 
Holly wood carries the energies of purity, strength, logic, power transfer and protection. Holly items are often used in magic concerning sleep. It is said that a man who carries the leaves and berries of holly is irresistible to women. Since the story of the ruler ship of the Holly King and the Oak King deal with cycles and rebirth, it is often used in magic to ease the loss of loved ones to death. It also carries properties of the sacred, material advance, physical revenge, and beauty.
Holly being a sacred Celtic tree we have also burnt the Holly Ogham (tinne) onto the piece for added protection and energy.
The Triquetra also called the Trinity Knot, is an ancient symbol sacred to many cultures. For some it is symbolic of the threefold nature of the Goddess as mother, maiden and crone, it is also representative of the forces of nature (earth, fire and water) and the three interlocking circles are symbolic of female fertility. 
According to the Celts, the most important things in the world came in threes; three domains (earth, sea and sky), three elements, three stages of life etc. It is also possible that the Triquetra signified the lunar and solar phases. During excavations of various archaeological sites from the Celtic era, a number of Trinity knot symbols have been found alongside solar and lunar symbols.
We have decorated the handle with a vine design and it has been finished with a little of our homemade lavender, beeswax and olive oil polish for protection, recycled leather fringe trim, cruelty free naturally molted feathers and vintage beads. Approx 38cm / 15" length.
Shamanic Rattles are the voices of our ancestors and spirits who come to help the healing process. They are vessels for magic and sacred items and carry the energy of rain and water within them. When you use a rattle to clear energy or a space the vibration and sound takes on the energy of water as it flows around and washes over you gently cleansing and refreshing your aura and energy as though standing under a waterfall
Shamanic Rattles can be used for healing, clearing, raising vibration and just for the joy their wonderful resonance brings to the soul. 
We are very mindful to pay our respects to the animals spirit and ask for its blessing as it is reborn as a wonderful sacred object. Our rattles are made using goat hide which brings with it the spirit of this confident and balanced creature. 
You have the option the add a recycled fabric bag to your order to keep your sacred rattle wrapped in it's own space.
All our rattles are created with love, positive intentions and just a little magick )0(
