Suzi Crockford
Maker of Drums. Rattles, Faery Tambourines, Sistrums and other Sacred Tools.
Suzi Crockford is a hedgewitch and maker of sacred objects, talismans, amulets and charms .
Her making has its roots in her knowing that we are part of a sentient world, all kin, all interdependent. She believes that if we can find our deep connection to 'All that Is', if we can remember that we are simply one part of a living world - and act accordingly - we can co-create "The More Beautiful World Our Hearts Know is Possible" . Her creations are a beautiful interweaving of the sacred and the ordinary, her work takes place in the liminal realms between this reality and 'the Other' and has at its foundation an unshakeable belief in the holiness of all of creation.
I work in partnership with the Spirits to create magical tools which will facilitate a strengthening of our connection with both the seen and unseen worlds. Typically these creations (drum, rattle, etc.) help us in meeting the inhabitants of our archetypal landscape and traversing the territory of our soul, which brings us into deep connection with our birthright of belonging to a sacred and sentient world. The drum is often called 'The Shaman's Horse', it's work democratises our connection to the Spirits and the Otherworld, dissolving the boundaries for a moment it gives us solid ground upon which to stand and then takes us on a transformative alchemical journey: our destination is Earth Consciousness, bringing about healing change for the collective and for our Earth. Our most important journey is the one in which we discover our true selves - the 'Us' that are a reciprocal part of the sensuous interconnected community of the interwoven, interdependent web of life.
As a creator of drums, rattles, sistrums, poppets and Faery Tambourines with hide, stones and feathers, metal, cloth, plants and wood, I am experienced in making unique sacred objects, gifts, tools and instruments as guided by Spirit for the individual. They are in service to the numinous, to the great cauldron of our healing. Please don't hesitate to ask if there's something I might be able to make for you. I also make sets of runes from storm fallen wood but there are no pictures here yet.
I share writing and photographs of some of the witchier aspects of my work at http://www.patreon.com/A_Dartmoor_Witch and also have a podcast discussing "life, the universe and everything" with Vicar Maggy Whitehouse at WiseWomen:TheVicarAndTheWitch (this is a Podbean link, if you're not on Podbean all episodes can be found on Spotify and some on YouTube).
