Making a Spirit Rattle

- No new Wheel of the Year Pagan Calendar photoshoot this week as Mark (Page) and I have been busy with setting up an art exhibition - more news on that soon. But I have used my free time to make some props for the upcoming shoots and today I'll show you how I made a Spirit Rattle.
Spirit Rattles are traditionally used by Native American Shamans to summon good spirits, to drive away bad ones and to cleanse and purify a space. I will make it clear here that I am not making this for any Shamanistic purpose - it's simply a prop and I am very aware that I could be accused of cultural appropriation. It's also why my rattle does not follow any particular traditional design. No disrespect is intended to the culture of any First Peoples - quite the opposite in fact.
More photoshoots coming soon ... including one in the infamous 18th century Hellfire Club caves ...

Toodle-pip!
The feather hat is seriously stylish. You should go all the way with that and make some kind of "woodland explorers hat".
This is wonderful! I'm an American Pagan, specifically eclectic hedge witch, and seeing how respectful you are of all the different kinds of Paganism is lovely. Keep being your beautiful self!
And you too x
Excited to learn about the real-life Hellfire Club, I had no idea there was a real one! It was nice to see your video today, as always

I once met a shaman at the Sidmouth folk festival back in the 2000's, what an incredible fellow he was!
I've met quite a few 😀
Your videos are always so relaxing. Thank you!
Glad you like them! Life can get hectic. It's good to slow down sometimes :)
yet another whimsical video!!!
Whimsy is my middle name
I just realised what does colganology actually mean? What’s the like, definition
My surname is Colgan. So it's the study of me. :)
This man is a wizard in disguise!
It's a pretty bad disguise.
I'm just here waiting for you to touch on the naked dance thing, for no particular reason.

These RUclips notifications are bollocks!! I only was made aware of this by the notification system 5 DAYS LATER!!!

Correction: shamans don't come from the Americas, they come from Siberia! The word itself comes from the Evenki language and means "knower". Then through Russian it was absorbed into many other languages, including English.
Thanks for that. The point I clumsily made is that they are mostly associated with the Americas these days. Like many other traditions, the place they are best known from isn't always where they originated. Happy to be corrected 🙂
@@Colganology I would say that it's currently mostly associated with Korea, seeing how its former president is currently serving 30 years in prison for allowing a shaman to dictate her policies.
Lovely job there. The shaman (shaperson?) should wield it with pride in the photoshoot. I'm really rather looking forward to seeing the videos of the upcoming photoshoots.
Also your theme music is driving me crazy. I'm sure I recognise it from somewhere, but "zee little grey cells" just aren't firing properly these days.
It's library music. I'll find the title. Undoubtedly used at some time on either Spongebob or Ren and Stimpy!
It puts me in mind of Swan Lake. This part:

25 No. 13 Danses des cygnes d (Allegro moderato)
The music is actually called 'Exciting Percussion' by John Fox. It's librarymusic used in Ren and Stimpy and appears on their second CD of production music. ruclips.net/video/-3BGcj8wxvk/видео.html
