SONG OF THE ANCESTORS - Reindeer Antler Sistrum

Sistrums have been used in magical and ceremonial work throughout history, and can be part of ones shamanic tools. These musical instruments create a specific sound or vibration that clears negative energies, raises spiritual vibrations, and attracts positive energies. In shamanic practices, sistrums are used to aid in healing, journeying, and ceremonial work. They can be used to call upon ally spirits, create a powerful and transformative experience for participants, and connect with the spiritual energies and entities being invoked. The use of sistrums in shamanic practices is believed to help clear and purify energy, raise the vibration and energy of the ritual space, and aid in the healing process.

This beautiful handmade Shamanic Sistrum is made with a Reindeer Antler handle. The Bronze Bells are tied to a plat of natural Reindeer Rawhide and natural, biodegradable ribbon, chosen in connection with the prayer of energy infused into the sacred tool.

The Ancestors

In spiritual and shamanic practices, there exists a profound connection with ancestors, transcending the boundaries of time and space. Those who practice shamanism often engage in rituals and ceremonies to honour their ancestors, calling upon their wisdom and guidance. Through these practices, they seek to heal ancestral lines, recognizing that unresolved traumas or imbalances from the past can affect present generations. By invoking the spirits of their ancestors, shamans tap into a vast reservoir of collective wisdom and ancestral knowledge, drawing upon it for healing, guidance, and spiritual insight. This communion with the past fosters a deeper understanding of self and the interconnectedness of all beings.

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 in these sacred medicine tools. All of the hides and woods for our shamanic medicine tools are ethically and sustainably sourced, meaning that the hides are sourced from horses that have died naturally or wild culled stags or reindeer, where the hides are otherwise discarded, and the wood for the sticks is from sustainably managed forests.
