The Horned God / Antlered Goddess Handle

This is one of our original handle style to honour the Horned God of European pagan traditions (stag), or the Antlered Goddess, Elen of the Ways (reindeer).

The Stag

The stag is a symbol of strength, of standing tall and proud and pushing through adversity with those powerful antlers that carry so much timeless wisdom. Working with the stag medicine, one maintains focus on their goals and plans, and with their head down and driving forward, can overcome all obstacles.

The Reindeer

The Reindeer is a gentle spirit and a great healer and is associated with the ancient British goddess Elen, talked about in the old Welsh folk tales. Reindeer drums are often great journeying drums or personal drums.

Size

With regard to SIZE, generally, the larger the drum is, the deeper the tone is.

Processing Time

Made to order drums usually take up to 6-8 weeks to prepare, birth and leave to dry completely before sending on to you.

Sustainability

At Heron Drums, we work with natural materials and animal hides - this way the strength and the spirit of the animal and the tree live on and its heartbeat will take so many on beautiful journeys. All of the hides and hoops for our shamanic drums are ethically and sustainably sourced, meaning that the hides are sourced from wild culled stags, where the hides are otherwise discarded, and the wood for the hoops is from sustainably managed forests. Because of this, patterns and styles will vary.

With your drum, you will also receive a drum beater that has been especially paired with the drum to best bring out its voice.
