Rattle Hide: Deer

About Rattles

Rattles are a common theme among many spiritual practices on all continents. Although the types of rattles may differ, their purpose remains the same. In a ceremony, the Shamanic Rattle is often used to help create sacred space and call in the spirits of the land, the elements, and other spiritual helpers. The rattle's sound can help open up a space between the worlds, creating a bridge between the physical and spiritual realms.

When working with the rattle, the sound and rhythm of the rattle can help shift consciousness from an ordinary state into a shamanic state. Shamans also work with rattles to break up and help remove stagnant and negative energies from someone. There are various ways in which shamans work with rattles, and many develop ways that are specific to their healing practices.

Once you receive your rattle, I recommend you journey with it to discover how it wants to work with you!

Coyote Paw Fur: The coyote, known for its cunning nature and adaptability, is a complex spirit animal that embodies paradox, intelligence, and the ability to see through deception. In many traditions, the coyote is seen as a trickster, but this also includes the qualities of resourcefulness, survival, and a deep understanding of the balance within nature. The coyote spirit encourages us to be flexible in our thinking, embrace the unexpected, and find balance amid change, reminding us that adaptability is a form of intelligence.

All of the fans made by White Thunder Bear are sourced from cruelty-free animal parts. Feathers and wings are created from birds that either shed them naturally, died of natural causes, or were consumed for food, where using all of the parts of each animal is an honoring of the animal. Furs and leather are sourced from the same supplier that sources parts for first families.
