As we gently turn toward the end of the year, I hope you all had a nourishing Christmas - in whatever form it came, however it felt, and in whatever ways fed your spirit.
The wheel of the year has carried me through a deep void this season between what has ended and what is yet to come - a quiet, spacious energy that asked for listening, slowing, and trusting the unseen.
From that space came two very distinct sets of rattles:
✨ The colourful set was started in November and finally finished and born in the first half of December. They carry that void energy I was living through - wide, spacious, expansive sound, almost like maracas in their rhythm, but softer in spirit. Their voice is big, airy, room-filling and deeply spacious — made for movement, rhythm, trance, and clearing stagnant energy through sound and breath.
🌕 The second set was born on the Winter Solstice — the darkest edge of the year, created in a moment when the sun stood still and the world held its breath. Their energy feels ancient and intentional - my take on the more ancestral designs that are commonly seen. Their sound is clear, earthy, deep and expansive - not as rhythmic as maracas, but they hold the same essence of spaciousness and release. Their feathers give them movement in the unseen, their shape speaks to tradition, and their voice feels ceremonial, open, and reverent - made for calling in guidance, clearing energy, and journeying inward with truth and trust.
Each element has been added in gratitude, not extraction - asking permission, giving thanks, and listening back in the quiet after the last stitch.
If you feel called to one, or want to know more about its voice or materials, you’re welcome to reach out - I’m always happy to answer questions 🙏
As we step toward New Year, may you feel the distance you’ve already travelled, the healing you’ve already done, and the courage it took just to be here now.
Much love ###
