Shamanic Woodcraft

I handcraft wood pieces for personal and spiritual use. These pieces, ranging from handheld boxes to large altar tables, carry the medicine of the trees they originated from, and serve a spiritually medicinal use.

 

All pieces aid personal and spiritual practices. Some help you connect with your Power Animals, others serve as tools of manifestation, others still will support the peaceful energy of your home or work. These are not just functional tools, they are medicine for you on your journey.

My shamanic practice intentionally incorporates with the wisdom, energy, and medicine of the specific species of tree the pieces are crafted from. Each piece of wood, each cut, each crystal added, and each symbol burned into the pieces is done with mindfulness and honoring. This meaning helps awaken the spirit of the finished piece with its specific medicine. A write-up of this meaning is included with each project.

​I primarily create custom pieces, though I do have some completed items for sale online. I encourage you to peruse my portfolio, and if something sparks an inspiration, reach out and we can get started on creating a custom piece for you!​​​​

Clear the Air Table

Made for an office of chiropractors, massage therapists, and acupuncturists, this piece of maple and sapele organizes the chaotic, staticky energy that is released when people are brought back into alignment. It recycles this energy back into the space with an air of calmness, clarity, and structural alignment.

This mini altar is a pre-made grid of rose and clear quartz, and it both attracts and exudes a very clear signal of pure love.

"So my group of four Tarot readers and spiritual practitioners needed an alter. We didn’t look online because we knew it wouldn’t be anything even worth considering, and it was kind of just this crazy idea. But just for fun, I drew a little sketch of what it might look like, how it could work etc. (with four secret drawers, a North-South-West-East pattern on top, some sturdy flip-up shelves so we could each display a spread of cards, space for candles and what-have-you) in a “Hey, wouldn’t this be cool” kind of way. And then dropped it ‘cause that’s silly, right? 

Not so fast, said the Universe. Enter Dave. He’s basically a shamanic carpenter who got wind of my wee sketch and felt moved to give it a go. Naturally we were psyched, but had absolutely no idea what manner of thing this would actually turn out to be. 

Let me just say that what materialized into our physical plane was nothing short of magical. He took the basic concept and lovingly and adeptly created something even greater than what we could have possibly imagined. Even the choice of woods had purpose, beauty, and power. The altar came with its own voice because the process of making it involved tuning into what it wanted to be, so Dave channeled what it had to say to each of us, and how our mutual work would be actualized. 

Musicians can well attest that playing on a high quality instrument is a wholly different experience, and so it was in practicing our craft for the first time with this altar: laying cards, working with our powers and intuition, and experiencing a new kind of synergy. 

Our coven is now five instead of four, thanks to Dave and his ability to blend the practice of woodworking and shamanic insight. We will never be the same."
