Oisin- 16″ Ash and Deer Drum, Medicine drum, Birthed over Easter

Description

The Spirit of Óisín
Named after the legendary Celtic poet and dream traveller, Óisín is the keeper of stories, inspiration and sacred remembrance.
In Irish tradition, Óisín crossed into the mystical realm of Tír na nÓg, returning with the wisdom of another world.
This drum carries that same invitation.
To dream deeply.
To listen beyond words.
To walk the ancient pathways that exist within your own heart.
Its rhythm becomes a bridge between the everyday and the eternal.
Crafted with Sacred Intention
This beautiful 16-inch Deer Medicine Drum is created upon a sacred Ash frame, laced in my open-hearted weaving style.
The drum carries 41 lacings, bringing forward the vibration of the sacred number Five.
The Medicine of Five
Five is the number of movement.
Transformation.
Freedom.
The five directions.
The five elements.
The human being standing fully embodied between Heaven and Earth.
It reminds us that life is always inviting us to expand beyond what we thought possible.
Every lace becomes another thread in the great tapestry of becoming.
Ash — The Breath of the World Tree
Óisín sings with the spirit of Ash, one of the most revered trees of the Celtic world.
Known as the World Tree, Ash is the great bridge between realms.
Its roots reach deep into the ancient wisdom of the Earth.
Its trunk stands firmly in the present moment.
Its branches stretch towards the stars.
For thousands of years Ash has been honoured as a tree of protection, initiation, courage and spiritual awakening.
It reminds us that true growth happens when we remain deeply rooted while allowing our spirit to rise.
Deer Medicine
The Deer walks softly through the forests of the soul.
Ever alert.
Ever graceful.
Ever listening.
Deer teaches us that gentleness is one of our greatest strengths.
Its medicine opens the heart to compassion, deep listening and unconditional love.
Rather than forcing life to unfold, Deer invites us to trust timing, intuition and the wisdom of quiet presence.
Its rhythm helps us move through life with grace while remaining deeply connected to the natural world.
Medicine Pouch
Nestled within its soft medicine pouch are sacred allies gathered with intention.
Clear Quartz
A crystal from the ancient land of West Wales.
Quartz is known as the Master Healer, amplifying prayer, intention and light while bringing clarity and energetic balance.
Rose Quartz
The crystal of unconditional love.
Its gentle vibration nurtures compassion, forgiveness and the opening of the heart.
Bay Leaf
Long honoured as a symbol of blessing, protection and vision.
Bay has traditionally been used to strengthen intention, invite abundance and support the fulfilment of heartfelt prayers.
Mugwort
Sacred herb of dreamers and visionaries.
Mugwort offers purification, intuitive awareness and protection during meditation, ceremony and journey work.
Created in Ceremony
Every drum I birth is made through prayer.
I work intuitively with the Moon, the elements, the spirit of the animal, the wisdom of the trees, oracle cards and the quiet guidance of my helping spirits.
No two drums are ever alike.
Each arrives carrying its own medicine, its own personality and its own song.
I never play my drums before they meet their keeper.
I believe the first heartbeat belongs to you.
It is in that first meeting that the drum truly awakens.
A Message from Óisín
“I have walked these ancient paths before you.”
“I know the places where the veil grows thin and the soul remembers.”
“Do not fear the unknown.”
“Walk gently.”
“Listen more deeply than words.”
“Allow silence to become your teacher and rhythm to become your guide.”
“Like the Ash, root yourself in the Earth while your spirit reaches for the stars.”
“Like the Deer, move with kindness, courage and quiet confidence.”
“You do not need to hurry.”
“The path that is meant for you has been waiting since before you were born.”
“Take my hand.”
“Together we will remember the way home.”
Every drum I birth awakens through the elements and is never pre-played — the first heartbeat belongs to its keeper. You can learn more about this in my YouTube video:

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 guarantees beyond 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.
