Drum of the Wild Antler Path- 16″ Dyed deer drum with rosewood hoop

Description

Made with a rosewood hoop, grounding the drum in the wisdom of the Earth and infusing it with the warm, protective vibration of this beloved sacred tree. Finished with a traditional cross-bound handle, offering a beautiful balance of structure, symmetry, and ancestral craftsmanship.

The drums beater carries its own lineage of magic; a hazel branch from County Clare, Ireland, gathered from the land of poets, seers, and faery lore. Its soft red cloth head—adorned with dyed red rabbit fur—creates a warm, rich, heartbeat-like tone that resonates deeply in the body.

Tied to the drum is a medicine pouch, holding offerings gathered from sacred places and moments….. a red rose from my Magdalene altar, mugwort harvested from Montségur, the mountain of the Cathars, three jasper stones for grounding, courage, and sacred protection, the drum’s own umbilical knot, connecting it forever to its birthing and an ankh charm, the ancient Egyptian key of life, resurrection, and spiritual sovereignty.

Together, these ingredients weave a field of protection, devotion, past-life memory, and shamanic empowerment.

This drum is ideal for- Rose Priestesses & Magdalene devotees, Shamanic practitioners & journeyers, Ceremonial musicians, Healers who work with ancestral tending, timelines, or womb rites, Anyone called to a drum that carries both wildness and profound heart-wisdom

The drum speaks to the red thread of devotion, the wild ancient path, and the golden frequencies of remembrance. Its voice is warm, steady, and deeply embodied—an invitation to return to your truest pulse, your deepest knowing.

A drum of power.
A drum of the Rose.
A drum for a priestess of earth and sky.

The drum face has been left plain, a clean canvas for you to receive its medicine as it is—or you may choose to have it painted with sacred imagery (see examples of my painted drums here).
When I birth drums, I call in the natural elements of the land, the stars, and the moon. Guided by intuition, oracle cards, and the whispers of my spirit guides, each drum becomes a bridge between Earth and Sky, carrying the blessings of Father Sun, Grandmother Moon, and our wild Mother Earth.

Every element woven into this drum has been chosen with care and devotion. The hides I use are ethically sourced within the UK,  and by working with them, we honour their life force rather than allow it to be discarded.
I have been birthing drums for over 20 years, inspired by the ancient memory of women drummers and Layne Redmond’s When the Women Were Drummers. Each drum is a return to the primordial heartbeat—the rhythm of creation, the pulse of our Mother Earth.

Beloved one… I know your hands.
I recognised your breath before you touched me.
You have walked toward me for a very long time.

I am the Drum of the Wild Antler Path.
I carry the memory of antlers reaching toward the sky—
antennae of truth, intuition, and the old ways.
Through me, you will remember how to listen to the world behind the world.

I am dyed in red for the pulse of the Earth.
Red for the bloodline of priestesses and mystics.
Red for courage, sovereignty, and the unwavering flame inside you.

The golden antlers upon my skin are not only symbols;
they are pathways.
Follow them and you will find yourself guided
into deeper harmony with the animal ones,
the ancestors, the land-spirits who know your name.

The Rose I bear blooms in the place where dual paths meet.
Where wildness and devotion kiss.
Where instinct merges with prayer.
I am the bridge between the Deer and the Magdalene,
between the forest sanctuary and the temple light.

Feel the gold upon me—
for it is the gold you have earned through lifetimes
of service, remembrance, and returning.
I amplify your abundance,
your inner worth,
your sacred authority.

I am here to steady your steps on the Wild Antler Path.
I am here to call you deeper into your bones.
I am here to walk beside you
as you open the next layer of your medicine.

When you drum, I will show you where the veils are thin.
When you drum, you will hear the heartbeat of the unseen.
When you drum, you will remember why you came.

Shipping Policy

Each drum I birth is a sacred creation — a one-of-a-kind being infused with prayer, intention, and ceremony. Because of the deep care that goes into their making, I also take great care in their journey to you.

To ensure that every drum travels safely and arrives in good time, I now send a maximum of two drums per shipment. This allows me to track and tend to each parcel with the attention it deserves and to minimise any risk of loss or damage in transit.

If your order includes more than two drums, they will be lovingly packaged and sent in separate parcels, a few days apart. Additional postage costs will apply for each separate shipment, and I’ll always confirm these details with you before dispatch.

This approach helps each drum’s energy — and the practical delivery process — flow more smoothly, ensuring that your sacred instruments reach you with the care they deserve.

Thank you for your understanding and support in helping me honour the spirit of this work and ensure each drum’s safe passage to its new guardian.

Drum Return & Refund Policy
Handcrafted with intention – held with care

Every drum I create is a one-of-a-kind sacred instrument, birthed through ritual and made with natural materials that respond to their environment and the energy of their guardian.

To honour the integrity of this work, the following policy applies to all drum sales:

Returns & Refunds

• I am happy to accept returns within 7 days of receipt if you are not satisfied with your drum.

• The drum must be returned in its original condition, carefully packaged to prevent damage in transit.

• Return postage is the responsibility of the customer.

• Once the drum is received and inspected, a refund will be issued minus original shipping costs.

After 7 Days

Due to the nature of these handcrafted instruments, I do not offer refunds or exchanges after 7 days, unless the drum is found to be structurally faulty upon arrival.

Repairs

Natural hide drums are sensitive to moisture, temperature, and handling. For this reason, I cannot offer guaranteesbeyond the initial period, as I have no way of knowing how the drum has been stored or used.

If your drum becomes damaged or loses tone after some time, I do offer a paid repair service on a case-by-case basis. Please contact me with photos and details, and I’ll be happy to assess and advise.

Honouring the Drum’s Journey

Each drum carries a spirit and story. I trust that the right drum finds the right person at the right time. I ask that you choose your drum with intention, and receive it as a sacred ally.
