Goddess Shamanic Drum Made to Order

These beautiful handmade Shamanic drums are made to order with natural hide and traditionally hand cut lacing and made in a mindful way, in ceremony and with an individual blessing.

Goddess Handle

This is one of our original handle style to honour the image of the divine feminine within European pagan traditions in the form of the full bellied Goddess. Please let us know if you have a preference of crystal to be bound into the handle.

The Horse

Horse hide is generally darker in colour

The Horse is a symbol of moving forward with power and determination and is connected with the old horse goddess of Britain, Epona, and the story of Rhiannon. The Shamanic Drum is also known as the “Shaman’s Horse” as the Shaman rides on the back of the rhythm into the journey. As such, horse drums are often great as journeying drums.

The Reindeer

Reindeer is often a cream colour

The Reindeer is a gentle spirit and a great healer and is associated with the ancient British goddess Elen, talked about in the old Welsh folk tales. Reindeer drums are often great journeying drums or personal drums.

Size

With regard to SIZE, generally, the larger the drum is, the deeper the tone is.

Processing Time

Made to order drums usually take up to 4 weeks to prepare, birth and leave to dry completely before sending on to you.

Sustainability

At Heron Drums, we work with natural materials and animal hides - this way the strength and the spirit of the animal and the tree live on and its heartbeat will take so many on beautiful journeys. All of the hides and hoops for our shamanic drums are ethically and sustainably sourced, meaning that the hides are sourced from wild culled stags, where the hides are otherwise discarded, and the wood for the hoops is from sustainably managed forests. Because of this, patterns and styles will vary.

With your drum, you will also receive a drum beater that has been especially paired with the drum to best bring out its voice.
