This listing is for one Belladonna Ritual Rattle from The heART of Ritual.
For those who work with the Banes or specialize in Shadow Psychology, this collection brings awareness to the darkest, most stagnant of places within the recesses of our own BEing so that deep rooted issues can be brought to the light.
Created with wild native herbs from the high Alps, sea treasures from the South Coast of Ireland and crystals hand gathered both on the mountains and along the shore, this ritual tool assists us to receive insights and awareness into our own shadows/patterns/conditioning/programming, so that we have the choice to actively participate in healing those areas (or not).
Please note that Belladonna is not a plant ally for the faint hearted, so I have to very gently say that the energy of this particular rattle is not suitable for those who are beginners and/or unfamiliar with the Banes.
RATTLES AS RITUAL HEALING TOOLS
Rattles are ceremonial tools that resonate primarily with the fire element, their sound resembling the hissing of a snake. As a tool, they are used to purify, cleanse and transform (an individual, group energy, or place) and are also wonderful to use to energize or invigorate if a person is feeling sluggish or a space is stagnant. This is their transformative work as traditional healing tools. What resonates with you, how you choose to uniquely work with these ritual tools, your experience, and the direction this takes is entirely up to you. It is your intimate expression of prayer and reflects your unique ceremonial intention.
Belladonna Ritual Rattle (with hand carved Star Ruby)
These rattles are lovingly crafted with upcycled reindeer hide and ecodyed with a pigment made from belladonna berries. The belladonna berries were gathered by moonlight over the Autumn Equinox 2021, the high point of the Water Element in the Celtic Wheel of the Year.
These are absolutely stunning rattles and divining tools, just wait until you see what the Belladonna pigment inscribed on each for you to 'read'! This natural range of berry colour really is breath taking to see in person, with hues ranging from dusky pink to magenta, rose, and violet. Magical and mysterious, just like herSelf.
The rattleheads have been sewn together with plant fiber cordage made from mugwort, nettle, and rose.
The rattle heads are finished with a conditioning layer of my beautifully fragrant 13 Moon Wild Rose ritual anointing oil. For those who feel drawn, the 13 Moon Wild Rose ritual anointing oil is also available to purchase in our store.
