18 inch Custom Made Botanically Dyed Ritual Drum
This listing is a pre-order for one hand crafted 18 inch botanically dyed Custom Drum from The heART of Ritual.
 
ABOUT
The drum hoops I make are made with locally sourced sustainably managed Birch wood. These are steam bent and shaped by hand, ensuring a uniquely formed and solid foundation for your ritual drum. The glue I use is hide glue, made from the offcuts of the Reindeer rawhide that forms the drumhead of your drum. Each drum hoop is infused with my 13 Moon Wild Rose ritual oil, and finished with one of my crystal and plant pigment ritual drum waxes; Sol, Luna or Earth. The choice of wax depends on the overall energy of the drum.
 
The drum head is Reindeer rawhide that is directly sourced from the Saami in Finland. I infuse each rawhide with flower, crystal, mushroom and tree essences when soaking, and depending on what each drum calls for, healing botanicals and crystals are also placed in the water with it too. The pigments that I work with on the rawhide are from my own wild colour cauldron library of colour, and created from wild native medicinal herbs, the Celtic Trees of the Year, healing flowers, and crystal, mineral and earth pigments. If the drum calls for it, I might also add colour to the hoop using my own wild colour pigments and/or botanical inks.
 
Each drum is then placed in the custom made drum rack in our dedicated ceremonial space, and carefully monitored as it slowly drys and acclimitizes. Once fully stable and tested, it is prepared for shipping. Each drum is finished with a conditioning layer of my beautifully fragrant 13 Moon Wild Rose ritual anointing oil and comes with a care sheet.
 
If you wish to order a custom Drum Sounder for your drum, please see the relevant listing in the RITUAL RHYTHM section of our shop. Our 18 inch and 24 inch drum stands will be available for pre-order in October 2023.
 
For those who feel drawn, the 13 Moon Wild Rose ritual anointing oil is also available to purchase in our store.
 
ORDERING & SHIPPING
The photograph you see here is an example of a Custom Drum. Note that each one will be unique and one of a kind, with different plant, tree, and crystal pairings, resulting in different colours and patterning. You will receive an email from us when we begin to bring through your drum, another when it is fully birthed, and a final one to let you know when it has shipped. The drum itself is the one that sets the pace.

    Themes & Focus for this Collection

    Our upcoming seasonal shop opening coincides with the Celtic Festival of Samhain and takes place within the liminal space between the last new moon of the Celtic year in October, astronomical Samhain, and the first new moon of the Celtic New Year in November. It is during this time that the death of the old (year) and the birth of the new (year) occurs. With this we enter the dreamtime cycle of moons; a time honouring the birth that takes place during and after the darkest times. It is a potent time of observing blood, bones, ancestors, (re)connection, introspection, and 'getting to know the lay of the land'...within. Many refer to this time as a 'thinning of the veils', however those of us whose ears are finely tuned, we know that the 'veil' is always thin.
