Be’tha d’Qyāmta-Egg of Resurrection, Magdalene-Christ Vesica Drum 20″ x 16″, Dyed Deer Drum

Description

Magdalene Red Egg Drum- Resurrection, Witness, The Miracle Made Visible
This drum is born in the shape of the sacred egg — the original vessel of life, mystery, and becoming — and carries within it the ancient story of resurrection witnessed and declared.
According to early Christian tradition, Mary Magdalene travelled to Rome to proclaim the resurrection of Jesus Christ before Emperor Tiberius. Holding a simple egg, she spoke the truth she had witnessed. The Emperor laughed, saying her words were as impossible as the egg turning red — and in that moment, the egg transformed, becoming a brilliant crimson.
A sign.
A miracle.
A living testimony that truth, when spoken from the heart, carries the power to transform reality itself.

The Red Egg as a Living Symbol
Shaped as an egg drum, this form represents- the womb of creation, the void before becoming, the place where life, death, and rebirth meet
The deep red hue echoes the legendary egg… symbolising life force, blood, devotion, and resurrection, a remembrance of that what appears impossible may shift in an instant when truth is spoken with clarity and courage.

This is a drum of witnessing.
A drum of declaring what is real, even when it is not yet believed.
A Drum of Resurrection

This drum carries the medicine of- rebirth after endings, speaking truth in the face of doubt, embodied faith- a lived knowing,  the union of grief and joy, where resurrection is born

It is a companion for those who have walked through thresholds and emerged changed — those who are ready to name what has risen within them.

This is a Magdalene drum calling to those who honour Mary Magdalene as the bearer of truth, walk the path of the Rose and the Resurrection, are ready to speak what they know, even when the world does not yet understand. 
Reminding you-
The miracle is not separate from you.
It moves through you when you speak.

The lower hoop (covered in red fabric) holds 22 sacred lacings, carrying the Magdalene current — the chalice, the womb, the grounding and holding of divine love in form. It speaks of devotion, embodiment, earth wisdom, and the holy feminine as keeper of the Grail.

The upper hoop (covered in golden ribbon) holds 33 lacings, anchoring Christ Consciousness — the solar heart, the anointed one, the resurrection frequency, and the remembrance of unity beyond separation.

Together, they form a living prayer of Sacred Union- the Vesica Piscis.

Within the medicine bundle rests a rose quartz and dried red rose from my altar, both infused with devotion and prayer, binding this drum into the lineage of contemplation, remembrance, and embodied prayer. This drum is a sacred reliquary.

The beater is crafted from locally coppiced hazel, a tree of wisdom, prophecy, and poetic sight. The beater head is made from soft red fabric and filled with alpaca wool, offering a gentle yet resonant touch. Wrapped with soft fox fur-

This drum is a threshold keeper. A rose gate. A chalice that sings.

It is for those walking the Magdalene path, the Christ path, or the path of sacred reunion between them. For ceremony, prayer, womb and heart work, anointing rites, devotional song, and moments when sound itself becomes sacrament.

The drum name- Be’tha d’Qyāmta, means Egg of Resurrection

pronounced: BAY-tha d’QYAHM-ta
“The Egg of Resurrection” or more literally-“The House of Rising”
Be’tha — house, vessel, dwelling, womb
d’ — of / belonging to
Qyāmta — rising, resurrection, standing again

This name speaks not only of the egg as symbol, but as a living chamber where transformation occurs — the place where what seemed finished rises again. It holds the same current as the Magdalene’s red egg… witnessed truth.
Beneath this name there is a quiet whisper “That Which Cannot Stay Buried.”

This drum holds the frequency of the Rose Gate through which the Anointed One passes as union…. Magdalene and Christ, Chalice and Flame, Earth and Star.

The drum is dyed red deer- through several dye baths of natural dyes, the deer medicine brings gentleness, listening, grace, peace, and unconditional love. Deer teaches us the strength of sensitivity and the gift of guiding others with compassion. Held and sounded through its Cedar oval hoop, a sacred wood long associated with longevity, protection, and preservation. Cedar has been used across cultures to cleanse, heal, and guard sacred space, and to summon benevolent spirits during ritual and invocation. Many traditions teach that Cedar holds ancestral presence, bestowed at the beginning of existence, making it a bridge between worlds and generations. Cedar is also a tree of focus and illumination, helping the keeper remain steady, clear, and rooted while working in subtle realms. It has long been planted to protect sacred groves and holy ground, and in this drum it serves as a guardian—preserving the drum’s voice and the integrity of the work it is used for.

Each of my drums is personally signed by me in golden ink. Gold is the metal of the sun, of incorruptible truth and eternal light, and my signature is offered as a final blessing — a witness that this drum was birthed with intention, prayer, and care. In this way, the signing becomes a quiet rite of completion, affirming the drum’s passage from my hands into its own life of service, song, and remembrance.

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.
Mary Magdalene moves through this drum as the rhythm of the heart—awakening deep dreams, clearing stagnant energies, and sending the heartbeat of the Earth outward into the cosmos, resonant with Gaia herself. The beat becomes a prayer, an offering, and a rhythm that makes space for your deepest wishes to take root.

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.

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.

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.
