this is a starter guide to the art of using and playing a shamanic rattle for sound healing and ceremony
i’ve been playing and journeying with shamanic rattle for over 20 years since the start of my shamanic journey with lynne (rip) at flowering tree in derbyshire i have many fond memories of us singing and playing drum and rattle and i hope to pass on this wisdom and knowledge to you
