Rattles are typically used to break up stuck energy, and are useful for house clearing, building sacred space and healing work. The rhythm of a rattle is frequently used as a quieter alternative to the drum in shamanic journeying, meditation and trance work.

Rabbit Fur Scraps, 3 ounces, approximately two or more pelts worth (See pictures). We use rabbit fur for our fur beaters and fancy rattles & beaters. Occasionally some pieces may have a line of ink on the back.
Cut fur from the back, keeping the point of your scissors near the skin for best results.
