SYMBOLIC ASH MEANING:
The ash tree has been honoured across Europe as a sacred tree of connection, linking the heavens, the earth and the world below. Its roots reach deep into the soil while its branches stretch high towards the sky, making it a bridge between worlds and a natural companion for journeying. Ash wood is strong yet flexible, and has long been used for tools, spears and staffs, giving it a reputation for protection, courage and steady strength. Spiritually, the ash speaks of healing, wisdom and expanded awareness. It reminds us that we are part of a greater whole, and that by staying rooted we can reach further than we ever imagined. Ash supports inner growth, clarity of purpose and the courage to walk our own path.
SYMBOLIC SCOTS PINE MEANING:
The Scots pine is an ancient evergreen that stays green through the darkest winter, making it a symbol of eternal life, resilience and hope. In the Baltic lands, pine forests have sheltered people for thousands of years, and the tree is known for its warm resin, which was burned to cleanse and protect homes and sacred spaces. Its tall, straight trunk reaching towards the light carries the energy of uprightness, endurance and quiet strength. Spiritually, the pine reminds us that light can be held within even when the world around us is cold and dark. It brings purification, peace and renewal, and helps us stay steady and true through every season of life.
SYMBOLIC SIGILS MEANING:
The sigils on this drum are created from three Lithuanian words.
Nubudimas means awakening, the opening of the eyes, heart and spirit to a deeper truth.
Kismas means - Change.
Ramybė means peace, calm and inner stillness, a quiet heart and a settled mind. Together they carry a blessing of awakening and peace into every journey with this drum.
I value the gifts given by the Spirits and always hold gratitude ceremonies for them. I carefully listen to the Earth and the Spirits to express what needs to be created at any time.
Every single item created here is unique in its own way, so if you are looking for perfection, I unfortunately cannot offer that, as every imperfection is beautiful in its own way.
I am passionate about caring for the environment and will always try to use ethical packaging that isn’t harmful to the Earth and all living beings.
