Wardā d’Libbā, The Rose of the Heart Drum, 13″ by 2″ Dyed red deer drum, birch hoop

Description

This drum carries the frequency of Wardā d’Libbā — the Rose of the Heart.
It is a companion for prayer, heart healing, gentle ceremony, grief tending, and devotional rhythm. Its size makes it ideal as a travelling drum, a daily practice drum, or a sacred ally for those who walk the Way of the Rose.

The energy of this drum invites you to listen.

This is a drum for those who know that beauty is medicine, that gentleness is strength, and that the heart remembers the way home.

In the face of the drum pale lines appear like soft fractures or veins, like pathways — routes of movement, breath, or memory. Like river deltas, neural pathways, mycelial maps…
Also across the surface the dye has formed layered, petal-like shapes, especially visible in lighter rose tones. Resembling- unfolding rose petals, veils parting, overlapping wings or hands
Everything curves, overlaps, softens. This is feminine geometry — organic, relational, responsive. It speaks of revelation through gentleness rather than rupture.

Tied to the drum is a medicine pouch-

a dried rose from my altar, infused with prayer and devotion
red jasper for grounding, strength, and embodied clarity
black obsidian for protection, truth, and deep seeing
Amber, carrying ancient sunlight, warmth, and ancestral memory
The pouch is tied with a silver ankh, symbol of life force, continuity, and eternal renewal — a reminder that love and life are unbroken.

This 13” Red Beauty Drum is crafted as a living ceremonial companion — a vessel for rhythm, prayer, and conscious creation.
Naturally dyed deer hide, bathed several times to achieve it’s radiant rose-red tone.

At 13” x 2”, this drum is an ideal companion for- a young drummer, budding priestess, or child called to rhythm and ceremony, those beginning their journey with the sacred drum or as a travelling drum for adults — portable yet powerful, carrying the heartbeat of the Earth wherever you go!

the name of the drum…Wardā d’Libbā
(pronounced: WAR-dah d’LIB-bah)
“Rose of the Heart”
Wardā — Rose
d’ — of / belonging to
Libbā — the heart, the inner knowing, the seat of truth and courage

In Aramaic, heart is mind, will, breath, and centre unified.
So this name speaks of the Rose that blooms in the true centre of being — the deep heart where soul and body agree.
This name aligns exquisitely with what is visible in the drum face….
the inward-blooming rose forms
the gentle coherence rather than force
the sense of listening, tenderness, and embodied truth
This is a drum that carries Christ–Magdalene Aramaic devotion, but without hierarchy — love spoken in its original softness.
There is also a name beneath the name, one that might be whispered only once:
“The Heart That Opens Itself.”

This drum was completed under the Capricorn New Moon, a potent threshold of ending and beginning, where past and future meet and the soul is asked to choose its next chapter with clarity and resolve. Capricorn Moons offers a loving reality check — revealing what is complete, what no longer belongs, and what is ready to be laid down. This lunation supports long-term vision, grounded change, and the quiet commitment to walk forward with integrity. Birthed in this moment, this drum carries the medicine of honest reckoning and steady becoming — not quick fixes, but the deep strength required to build a life rooted in truth, devotion, and sustained action.

Red drums are known as Beauty Drums — allies for those who walk the path of beauty, joy, devotion, and love. They are created to awaken intuition, deepen spiritual insight, and weave the Rose lineage through Isis, Mother Mary, Mary Magdalene, and Yeshua.
They call the heart and soul into union and invite the player into conscious co-creation with the Divine.

The rhythm of these drums carries the spirit of animal and tree, woven with star and earth, creating alchemical journeys unique to each player. They are guardians, healers, and companions — for ceremony, circle, devotion, and personal practice.

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.

I birthed my first drum over 20 years ago, inspired by Layne Redmond’s When the Women Were Drummers. Since then, each drum is created in prayer and listening — infused with the heartbeat of Mother Earth, blessed by Father Sun and Grandmother Moon, and guided by oracle, intuition, and the quiet whispers of Spirit.

Ethically sourced hides — primarily from wild UK deer, ponies, and stags — are honoured as sacred gifts, transformed from what would otherwise be waste into vessels of beauty, healing, and remembrance.

This drum carries a beginning. A declaration. A clear, steady yes to what is ready to arrive.

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.
