Welcome
I’m Lucy, and I’m a shamanic practitioner. I’m a healer, a reader, and I work with the medicine gifts of Mother Earth to craft sacred tools and objects.
I work in particular with Deer, an animal that links us with strength, protection, spiritual connection, but also gentleness and compassion. I birth drums and rattles from their hides so that the spirit of the deer which has passed may live on and guide us, with tools which become our companions and friends. I take ethically sourced local skins and prepare them into rawhide myself, incorporating honour and ceremony from start to finish. I teach drum birthing workshops, and take commissions for drums and rattles.
Sacred crafting is a large part of my work, and it is not limited to drums. I work with with the spirits of the winged ones to create feather fans, with the spirits of the trees to create Ogham staves, and with the spirits of the plants to create an extensive range of flower essences and smoke cleansing bundles.
Drum Birthing
A drum is a powerful ally - a tool, a healer, a friend - and a drum that you have birthed yourself, or one that has been birthed especially for you, even more so. Gathering together the hide and the hoop, lacing them together in ceremony with love and intent, calling in the spirit of the drum, holding space for it as it dries; this process is one of magic and wonder, and the result is a medicine drum intimately connected to you.
I offer drum birthing workshops, retreats, 1:1 tuition, or I take commissions to birth drums; please find out more by clicking the link below.
