This rattle could also be used as a magic wand to direct energy during spell work or ritual. The neutral color scheme easily allows for strands of colored beads or charms to be tied on by the buyer for a personal touch. The rattle head has images of a running herd of horses burned in a primitive cave drawing style with spirals, hand prints, clouds, lightning bolts, the sun & the sacred directions. The mellow toned sound is created by shaking the rattle either downward for a bold sound, or upright for a softer tone caused by various natural materials inside. The rattle head is filled with a combination of the following items chosen for best sound properties and metaphysical energy... gem stone fragments, hardened natural clay balls, beach pebbles, lentil, ceramic beads.

Filled with symbols for personal magic and meditation use, here, Journey represents the journey through life as an individual grows & the journey the shaman takes into the other worlds.
