Make Sacred Crafts
Create your own medicine tools in ceremony, with Cyndy guiding you as much or as little as you need.
“As I began to attend and ultimately teach ceremony, I noticed the medicine tools being carried by the old ones… and I thought, ‘I can create those.’”
Cyndy has been making drums, rattles, feather fans and medicine bags for decades, and she loves helping others make their own. A tool you create with your own hands, in ceremony and with your own prayers woven in, carries a very personal medicine.
What you can make
A medicine bag
A leather bag to hold your stones, herbs and prayers close to your heart.
A feather smudge plume
A plume or prayer fan for smudging and ceremony.
A drum beater
Decorate your beater with leather or fur, or create a new one.
A drum handhold
Cover the handhold of your drum with soft leather or fur.
A feather drop
A feather drop for your drum or rattle.
Finish what you started
Bring an unfinished drum or rattle, and we will finish it together.
Cyndy has plenty of tools, lacing, beads and feathers to create with.
