POWERS: Embrace the ancient power of sound with our hand-crafted sistrum, a timeless percussion instrument from ancient Egypt. Revered for its spiritual and ceremonial significance, this sistrum produces a unique, melodic rattle when shaken, believed to invoke positive energy and enhance ritual practices. The sistrum was used primarily in religious and ceremonial contexts, especially in the worship of Hathor and Isis, to invoke the gods' presence and favor. Its jingling sound symbolized fertility, renewal, and the life-giving power of the Nile, while also driving away evil spirits during purification rituals. Beyond its spiritual role, it was used in celebrations and festivals, embodying joy and divine harmony. Handcrafted with the face of Hathor, the sistrum features a basalt frame with metal rattles that resonate with a distinct, calming tone. Whether used in meditation, healing ceremonies, space clearing or as a decorative piece, this instrument carries a profound connection to sacred traditions and the art of sound healing. Ideal for both practitioners and collectors, this sistrum serves as a powerful tool for personal rituals or as a meaningful gift for those who appreciate ancient symbolism and sound therapy, adding history and sacred energy to your spiritual practice.

Since the ancient times, humans have had many uses for clay such as in building materials, pottery, tools, jewelry, treating digestive and skin ailments plus a wide range of other uses. Clay is a key ingredient in the world we live in as it is the Earth itself. Formed from weathering and erosion of the earth's crust over vast spans of time, clay contains minerals and nanocrystals. Crystals are capable of memory and holding energy. Clay is naturally associated with the Earths vital energy. However, during its formation process clay is also nourished with all other elements: fire, water, wind and metal.

There’s a deep connection between the Ancient Egypt and pottery. Khnum, the god of fertility, was praised for bringing life to the womb, to the harvest fields, and life even to other deities. He was called the “Divine Potter” as it was believed he formed babies from clay, placing them into their mother’s womb. The Ancient Greek legend says that Prometheus made humans of clay and Athena breathed life into them. The Bible says the first man Adam was created when "Lord God formed man from the clay of the earth, and he breathed into his face the breath of life, and man became a living soul."
