My drum prayers for these days of Lunar and Calendar Lammas/Lughnasadh are now resting in the drying shed awaiting their finishing touches.
Firstly a dark Red Deer Drum birthed on Lunar Lammas on the Oak full moon has the most striking markings on its hide almost like cave paintings, and carries a real ancestor energy about her.
And today's prayer - an unusual hide for me but one that called loudly to me to be birthed this calendar day of first harvest, Goat hide on an 18" Oak wood frame.
Both have matching song callers on storm fallen wood from an ancient Oak tree here in Argyll.
