Shamanic drum maker, Jonathan Weekes, offers group Shamanic Drum Birthing Ceremonies across the UK,

Shamanic Drums to purchase from the online shop as well as Bespoke Drum orders, and high quality

and highest quality, ethically sourced Drum Making Supplies.

All drums are made in the traditional way, using lacing cut from the same hide to keep the spirit of the animal within the drum, and within prayer and ceremony to honour the spirit of the animal and the tree that gave of themselves to bring this sacred medicine tool into being.

Your own drum is a guide, healer, teacher and friend, that guides you on a special journey of inner exploration.

Now available on the online shop, Mugwort and California White Sage - two ceremonial herbs that anyone who has been on my workshops will known I work with often. Both of these herbs are traditionally used for smudging / saining, which is the spiritual cleansing with smoke. California White Sage is for ceremonial or personal use, for the purposes of healing, purification and blessings. By burning a single leaf or bundle of leaves and fanning the smoke around a person or space, the space is washed of any negativity or heaviness. Mugwort is a traditionally used plant for ceremonial or personal use, for the purposes of purification and to enhance lucid dreaming and astral projection. In the past, people have only been able to get these from me at workshops, but now they can be ordered easily from the website. #sage #mugwort #whitesage #californiawhitesage #smudging #saining #incense #luciddreaming #astraltravel #astralprojection #dreams #shamanism #smudgestick #saining #druid #druidry #druids #witch #witches #witchy #witchcraft #pagan #paganism #plantspirits
This Stag Shamanic Drum with Bronzite bound into its Horned God handle is making it's way to its forever home, today. I don't often bind stones into the Horned God handles, but this one has sat in there really nicely. Bronzite is a stone of protection, clarity and courage, and supports the drummer in their healing journeys. The Horned God handle is one of Heron Drums’ original handle styles that we have been making for the few years to honour the image of the divine masculine within Celtic and European pagan traditions: the Horned God. In working with this style, we honour our Celtic ancestors and symbols which are deeply rooted within our native mythologies and folk traditions. This Shamanic Drum has been made to order, bringing this combination of energies together, with the individuals personal prayers and intentions weaved into its magic.

Autumn Equinox Retreat - Glastonbury The Autumn is a time of reflection, of healing and letting go. Just as the trees around us shed their leaves and turn their energies inward, we also look to that which we should shed from the year past, and turn our focus within ourselves for the journey onward. Letting Go, Healing, & Gratitude This retreat is a space for us to shed our own leaves, and release that which does not serve us any more, and to work with the healing that is needed with that letting go. It is also a space for us to realize the lessons of the year past, harvested the fruits grown from seeds sown, and looking to create and empower out intentions going forward. On this retreat, on the side of the Glastonbury Tor, we will combine ceremony, journeying and drumming to reconnect deeply with ourselves and with the rhythms of the land around us. We will work in circle over this retreat, learning both from our own inner explorations and from the experiences of each person in the circle, as well as time out on the land to learn from the spirits of nature around us. This is a mixed event and open to all genders. Accommodation will be in shared dormitory rooms and all rooms are fully equipped with bedding and facilities. Twin rooms are available on request with an additional cost. The retreat includes delicious vegan and vegetarian meals served throughout the weekend, focusing on seasonal, organic and locally sourced foods. #shamanism #retreat #healing #healingretreat #spiritualretreat #fireceremony #lettinggo #shamandrum #drumspirit #healingdrum #glastonbury #glasronburytor #avalon #isleofavalon #autumnequinox #shaman #pagan #witch #witchy #paganism #earthairfirewater #druid #druidry #veganfood #vegan
This Stag Shamanic Drum with Preseli Bluestone bound into its Trispiral handle is making it's way to its forever home, today. Preseli Bluestone is the same stone as within Stonehenge, the world famous stone circle. It is said that these stones amplify power, and were brought to the ancient site in order to amplify the power of the ancient ruins. So this is a powerful stone to work with in a Shamanic Drum, to amplify the intuition, connection, healing and the power in the work that is being done. The Trispiral handle is one of Heron Drums’ original handle styles that we have been making for the few years and is inspired by the triple spiral symbol that was carved into sacred sites across ancient Britain and Ireland and was commonly used among the Celts. In working with this style, we honour our Celtic ancestors and the power of three which is deeply rooted within our native mythologies and folk traditions. This Shamanic Drum has been made to order, bringing this combination of energies together, with the individuals personal prayers and intentions weaved into its magic.

Stunning piece of polished flint, bound into the handle of this Shamanic Drum commission that has just been sent to its forever home. It is an easily overlooked stone but it was so important to our ancestors, and our survival on this continent may have been largely connected with it. With the drums I make, the hides and woods I work with connect me to the ancient magical ways of this land, and so it is lovely to bind flint into these drums as a further way to honour and acknowledge the ancestors. #shamandrum #sacredcrafts #drumbirthing #shamanism #healingdrum #madewithprayers #flint #stoneage #neolithic #pagancrafts #paganism #ancestors #ancientways

Drummers of the Heartbeat and Heron Drums invite you to this special weekend gathering to bring together our community of drummers, to connect with the ancestors of this land, and connect together with the sacred rhythms of the drums. The drum, the heartbeat of mother earth, connects many of us within our communities, connects us with the healing of the earth, with the wisdom of the ancestors and with the love of spirit. This weekend is a magical opportunity to experience all of this, and be part of birthing a Gathering Drum for the Drummers of the Heartbeat community. On this weekend, we will raise the energy with our drums and voices, and journey into this ancient landscape to bring forward the strengths and blessings that will be weaved into the Gathering Drum that will be birthed by us all. On the second day, we will take this drum for a ceremony at our nearby stone circle, to honour the ancestors, and share together a meal as a community. https://www.herondrums.co.uk/new-events/2019/7/13/drummers-of-the-heartbeat-gathering-of-the-tribes #gatheringofthetribes #drummersoftheheartbeat #shamandrum #ceremonialdrum #ancestors #sacredcrafts #ancientways #guidedbyspirit

About our drums…

Our shamanic drums are used by followers of the shamanic path for journeying, for music, for healing, for drum circles and for the great feeling of empowerment and connection with spirit that they enable.

All of the shamanic drums  are birthed in ceremony, honouring the spirit of the animals and trees that they are made from, and all materials for the drums are ethically sourced.

Our shamanic drums and medicine tools are made with an intention that they become powerful teachers, guides, healers and friends to those who use them and an important part of their spiritual growth and exploration.
