The shaman's work is often enhanced by a variety of sounds, aromas, tools, attire, incense, etc.  These materials can be hard to find.  In this gallery I endeavor to bring as many of these items together in one place as possible, along with reading material that teaches how and why they are used.  I acquire some of these items on my world travels to sacred places, others I make by hand from found objects, or by special order.  Some of these items are available for purchase, others are placed here to give you some idea of what the object looks like.  Please feel free to peruse the gallery and join the MAILING LIST to receive news of what I've brought back from my latest adventures. -  Rose Aleta Barbee

Ritual Tools

Tools used in Shamanic practice are objects which have been "charged" for special purposes, usually set aside for special occasions and viewed as "sacred" by the users. Tools for use in rituals may be purchased or hand made.  Some believe that tools made for an individual with intent and in a prayerful manner carry more energy for the work they will be doing.

Some of these items are in stock. Others are made to order. Some are imports, others local. All are hand-crafted. Prices vary per item within each category depending upon complexity of design and cost of materials, and stock changes frequently. 

All items that are made exclusively for Shaman's Shadow are made in a prayerful manner.  Prayers are offered up to the spirits who will work with the tools and for the person who will eventually own the tool.  A ceremony to "drum the tool to life" is performed to "charge" the tool and prepare it for the work to be done.  Click on image for larger views, detailed information, and purchasing options.
