The Reindeer

Reindeer hold spiritual significance in various cultures, including Celtic mythology and their connection to Elen of the Ways. In Celtic lore, reindeer are associated with the divine feminine and possess mystical qualities. They represent endurance, adaptability, and the ability to navigate through challenging terrains. Elen of the Ways, an antlered goddess in Celtic mythology, is closely linked to reindeer. She is revered as a deity of pathways and transformation, guiding travelers through physical and spiritual journeys. As a reindeer goddess, Elen embodies the qualities of agility, grace, and the ability to navigate both the physical and spiritual realms. Reindeer, under Elen's guidance, symbolize the power of movement, the transformative nature of journeys, and the connection between humanity and the natural world. They serve as spiritual messengers, leading seekers towards deeper understanding, spiritual growth, and the discovery of hidden truths. The reindeer's presence in Celtic myth and association with Elen of the Ways underscores the profound relationship between nature, spirituality, and the human quest for enlightenment.

In Sami cosmologies, reindeer hold deep spiritual significance as sacred creatures. They are considered as mediators between the human and spirit worlds, embodying guidance and protection. In Mongolian traditions, ancient carvings of flying reindeer depict their association with the shamanic journey, symbolizing the ability to transcend physical boundaries and access spiritual realms. The reindeer's spiritual significance in both cultures highlights their role as conduits for divine connection and their embodiment of mystical qualities.

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 Reindeer from Finland, where the hides are otherwise discarded, and the wood for the hoops is from sustainably managed forests.

Included

With your drum, you will also receive a drum beater that has been especially paired with the drum to best bring out its voice. Our drum beaters are handmade with individually selected and cut pieces of ash wood, with a wool stuffed leather beater head. The wood is sourced from our local area, and an offering is given to the trees for each piece that is cut and prayers are sung to the forest.
