Shamanic & Ceremonial Tools
This is where the jewellery making meets healing work and sometimes music too.
A connection that brings beauty and functionality into form with the guidance of spirit.
Over the years I have created various items. From tobacco and rap'e pipes, smudge fans,
rattles to energy transmuting tools. These items are made in an alchemical manner
infusing consecrated materials with the intention of the owner. Therefore, these are
particularly suitable for use in sacred ceremonial and healing space.
Common materials used: Wood, feather, minerals, and metals...

Because of the sacred nature of this type of items I rarely take photos of personal tools I make for people. But a few simple examples here...
Tepi Rap'e Pipe with Atlantisite Gemstone
Chacapa; amazonian type leaf rattle

Copper pyramid (correlate with Giza pyramid)
Healing Staff (Vara Curandero)

Who is it for?
The objects I create are meant to be used and are not ornamental in nature.
Therefore, these would be suitable for people who are engaged in healing practices, ceremonial work and earth honoring rituals.
The process of making a personalized instrument
Similar to the intuitive jewellery making, custom-made pieces are created in a few phases. Firstly, by tuning-in and gathering information about the purpose and qualities required of the item. The second phase, is what I would call the summoning of the components and the materials for the item. Sometimes there might be a special "medicine" component that might not yet be present in the field of the item or the person. This can be, for example, a crystal with specific qualities or a feather with certain "medicine" or even a special wood or plant that fits the vision of the creation. These usually make themselves known either to me or to the person the item is created for. Then, the components are put together to create the piece. The final part of the process, once the object is complete, is to activate it. This can be done in various ways either by me or the keeper of the object. The main concept is to animate and create a relationship with the spirit of the sacred tool; a relationship that can develop and strengthen with use and reciprocity.
