About Rattles
Medicine rattles are sacred tools used in various cultural traditions, especially in Native American and shamanic practices, for spiritual rituals, healing, and ceremonies. They are employed to connect with the spirit world, focus energy, and promote healing by producing a rhythmic sound believed to cleanse and purify, break up blockages, and induce altered states of consciousness.
Rattles serve as a link to the spirit realm, helping practitioners communicate with spirits and unseen forces. Their rhythmic sound is thought to have powerful healing effects by releasing stagnant energy and cleansing a person’s or space’s energy field. They help focus the mind and set intentions for a ritual, such as cleansing, healing, or seeking guidance. During ceremonies and traditions, they are used to maintain rhythm, produce mesmerizing sounds, and guide the flow of energy among participants.
The rattles are said to embody powerful, raw, elemental energy and connect to the spirits of animals, plants, and minerals. Many traditions see the rattle as a gift from the spirits and as an embodiment of the natural world, with materials that represent different aspects of the environment. Each rattle has its own voice and personality, shaped by its material and the intentions the artist imbued it with at the time of crafting. It is not uncommon for practitioners to have many rattles, each for a different purpose.

Plant Medicine
Raven infuses every rattle she crafts with plant medicine. The spirit of the plants contributes its energy, enriching the unique character of each rattle.

Furs and leather are sourced from the same supplier that sources parts for first families.
