Hazel Drum Beater
Handmade Hazel Drum beaters for using with Shamanic Drums
Our drum beaters are handmade with individually selected and cut pieces of hazel wood, with a wool stuffed leather beater head
The Hazel
The Hazel is sourced from a number of local coppices in Kent that are within walking distances of ancient sacred sites. An offering is given to the forest for each piece that is cut and prayers are sung to the forest. We choose Hazel as it is a tree that naturally self coppices and grows fast, so that the impact of our cutting is minimal and it encourages growth in the forest.
Hazel holds significant symbolism, representing wisdom, inspiration, and divination in various cultures. In the Celtic tradition, Hazel is associated with knowledge and insight, often depicted as the tree of wisdom. Its connection to the mystical and unseen realms gives it a reputation as a tree of divination and magical powers. Hazel's association with creativity and inspiration is reflected in its traditional connection to the arts and the poetic spirit. Additionally, the nuts of the Hazel tree hold symbolic significance as a symbol of hidden wisdom and potential. Overall, Hazel represents the pursuit of knowledge, spiritual guidance, and the unlocking of hidden truths.
Sustainability
The wood for this beater stick is gathered by hand, with prayer and ceremony and offerings to the land. We are responsible in our harvesting, making sure that the tree and the forest can continue to thrive. The beater head is crafted from leather offcuts, so colours may vary slight from the picture, and filled with wool. All of the materials used in the crafting of the beaters is honoured during the process of being made, and the beater is blessed with incense to welcome it into being once it has been made.
