This beautiful handmade Shamanic Rattle is made with natural Horse hide, bound to a twisted Hazel handle. It is decorated with Horse hair, and filled with specially selected stones, shell and incense.

The name of this rattle, Saorsa, means “freedom” in Scots Gaelic, and carries with it the spirit of liberation. The horse symbolises personal freedom, strength, and the journey between worlds, both in terms of physical and spiritual sovereignty. Paired with Hazel, a tree of wisdom and inspiration, this rattle evokes a sense of clarity and understanding. The spiraling shape, formed by the honeysuckle entwined around the hazel, further enhances this symbol of freedom, with its connection to love and loyalty, helping to weave freedom, wisdom and connections together.

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 in these sacred medicine tools. All of the hides and woods for our shamanic medicine tools are ethically and sustainably sourced, meaning that the hides are sourced from horses that have died naturally or wild culled stags or reindeer, where the hides are otherwise discarded, and the wood for the sticks is from sustainably managed forests.
