Hand painted and stitched this Rattle is made from Deer hide which was purchased from a Native American owned store, where every part of the animal is utilized. Deer medicine represents unconditional love and is peaceful, beautiful, sensitive, and is a highly intuitive spirit guide. Every part of the creative process for my rattles are made through meditation and intention. Corn is the traditional filling for rattle and represents Mother Earth and her abundance.  First step in creating this rattle was to bathe the hide in an herbal cleansing bath to honor the Deer, and imbue with my intentions. Rattle is hand painted, with the Four directions and stars, on one side, and Spirals and Stars, on the opposite side. The Spiral represents your awareness, evolution, and growth of your mind, body and spirit and is one of my favorite symbols. After rattle was completed, it was then bathed overnight under the August, Super, Blue, Full Moon. Rattle is also adorned with six colored glass beads, representing the four colors of the Medicine Wheel, including Earth and Sky, and is imbued with beautiful Reiki energy before being packed and shipped, to you. Rattles have been used for hundreds of years to achieve an altered state of mind, for shamanic journeying and healing ceremonies. Rattles are a powerful, beautiful addition for everyone’s meditation practice.
