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!

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.
