Description

12-inch Deer Hide – A gentle, heart-opening medicine with a steady rhythmic voice.
Ash Hoop – A tree of enchantment and protection; its spirit strengthens the pathways between worlds.
Soft Rabbit Fur Handle – Comforting, warm, and imbued with rabbit’s teachings of abundance and intuitive guidance.
Rabbit Fur Beater – Handmade from locally coppiced hazel wood and filled with Welsh sheep’s wool for a soft, deeply resonant tone.

I made my first drum over 20 years ago, and inspired by Layne Redmond’s When the Women Were Drummers, I have followed the call to create drums, drums that awaken the ancient remembering of rhythm, intuition, and feminine power.

Deer Medicine
Deer brings gentleness, grace, and the ability to listen deeply. She teaches the beauty of balance, the healing power of gratitude, and the courage found in softness. Deer guides us to open our hearts, walk with compassion, and gently guide others with loving presence.

Rabbit Medicine
Rabbit brings abundance, fertility, creative flow, and the ability to move through fear with agility and intuition. Rabbit reminds us to trust our instincts, follow the hidden path, and stay open to unexpected blessings.

A Blessing of Bear, Deer, Rabbit & the Cave-Mother Heart
Cave Mother, ancient one,
I call to you with an open heart.
Born beneath the Gemini Dark Moon,
woven of ash and deer hide,
carried by rabbit’s soft medicine
and blessed by the land of West Wales—
I welcome your spirit into my hands.
Great Bear Mother, guardian of caves and keepers,
wrap me in your strength.
Guide me into the deep places
where healing ripens in silence
and truth glows like embers in the dark.
Gentle Deer, heart-listener and path-finder,
teach me to walk with grace.
May my steps be soft,
my intuition heightened,
and my presence a blessing
to every being I encounter.
Rabbit Spirit, tender one of intuition and abundance,
open the hidden paths before me.
Let fear melt from my body
and joy rise like quickening breath
from the warm earth beneath me.
Cave Mother Drum,
I honour the animal, the tree, the land,
and the hands that shaped you.
May your voice be a bridge
between my spirit, my ancestors,
and the unseen realms that whisper their wisdom.
With every beat,
may family be strengthened,
may healing unfold,
may love be restored.
Drum of Cave and Heart,
I welcome you.
Guide me.
Journey with me.
Speak through me.
And so it is.
