Unique piece – only one available

An object full of meaning, made slowly and with care.

The spirit of the object

The spiritual rattle is a sound-producing object used to accompany spiritual gestures, mark a rhythm, and support intention. The white breath is distinguished by its gentle and enveloping presence, inviting calm, listening, and grounding.

Its movement creates a subtle vibration that accompanies speech, silence, or the transition from one moment to another. It does not seek to direct, but to support. It acts as a point of reference, a presence, a breath.

The white wolf fur, chosen with respect, evokes guidance, clarity, and quiet vigilance. It brings a profoundly soothing and symbolic dimension to the whole.

Created as a unique piece, according to a handcrafted rhythm.

My signature as an artist – my creative process

Each rattle I create follows exactly the same artistic process. It's my signature. It's what makes my pieces recognizable, consistent, and meaningful.

I begin by personally selecting driftwood, hand-picked from the banks of the Piekuakami (Lac-Saint-Jean) or the Ashapmushuan River. These places are part of my family and cultural history. Historically, my ancestors travelled this river by canoe.

Each piece of wood is chosen for its shape, density, and the energy it emits.

The wood is then worked and adorned with 100% genuine moose leather , a material used in Indigenous crafts for millennia for its strength, flexibility and direct connection to the Earth.

I also incorporate real animal fur in order to symbolically infuse the object with the strength and presence of the animal.

The rattle's head is crafted from deer leather , an intentional choice that produces a warm, soft, and vibrant sound.

Finally, I hand-paint each stick with colors inspired by the sky, stars, and night, recalling the sacred link between Earth and Heaven.

No two rattles are exactly alike. Each piece is unique.
