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!

Crystals

• Clear Quartz (inside): This stone augments all other stones and connects with the crown chakra. It is a universal healing stone and excellent for dream work!
• Epidote: The ultimate attraction and manifestation stone. It attracts abundance, prosperity, and creativity but can also be programmed to assist in finding love and relationships.
• Garden Quartz Point: This stone houses ancient knowledge and aids in connecting to our past lives for healing and growth. It is also excellent for meditation and shamanic journeying.
• Green Aventurine (inside): A strong crystal for manifestation, healing, abundance, and good luck.
• Tiger’s Eye: Connects to the Solar Plexus and promotes authenticity, personal power, and protection.

Plant Medicine

• Alder (handle): Alder trees are members of the birch family and grow near streams. The symbolism of the Alder Tree is rich, from its connection to water and the cyclical nature of life to its role as a protector and guide. It teaches the importance of embracing change and transitions, urging souls to navigate the currents of life with courage and trust in the natural flow of the universe. The alder tree symbolizes resilience, capable of withstanding the challenges of existence while maintaining a profound connection to the spiritual realms.
• Calendula: An herb strongly connected to the Sun and fire energies. Excellent for success, the solar plexus chakra and Sacred Masculine.

All rattles are consecrated with and contain Tobacco and Cornmeal for blessings from the Sacred Masculine and Feminine. They were also blessed with and contain White Sage for purification and protection.

Animal Medicine

Bison/Buffalo Hide: Buffalos and Bison have a fantastic spirit of abundance and gratitude. When we accept with thankfulness, prosperity comes naturally. They are very family-focused, protecting the children and each other with communal diligence. Bison goes into action when something threatens that unit, and it can be hazardous until the balance is restored.

Rabbit Fur: Call on rabbit medicine for manifestation and abundance. Rabbits can also move incredibly fast, so the rabbit spirit can help if you feel stuck. Rabbits have a strong association with the moon and the Sacred Feminine. It takes a young rabbit 28 days to become fully self-sufficient. You can also call on the rabbit to help you speed up tasks that seem too long to complete. When working with rabbits, always work with moon timing.

All the rattles 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.
