★★★★★ M.
Candles dedicated to the throat chakra - resonating with the color blue. They contain sodalite - a natural stone that promotes better communication, courage in expressing one's own opinion, and greater creativity. For me, a big plus is that the candle is made from natural soy wax, and thanks to the…

★★★★★ A.Retro
I like these lamps, they're fairly priced and don't appear to be in the daytime, but in the evening they come to life, with a lovely warm retro look and feeling.I would have preferred them to come with a switch set to their lowest light setting, or the gradient of brightness to start at its highest…

★★★★★ C.White sage and peppermint sage stick
Nicely presented and well made, the sage was easy to use - though I was glad to see some brief instructions on the box too as someone trying this for the first time. It did take a little while to light and only burned for a short while but it was long enough to give the room a pleasant and relaxing…

A few things often kept alongside this piece.
About this product
Bright rhythm in the hand
- The sound is sharp and percussive, giving a clear beat without needing force.
- Its rounded head sits at the end of a slim handle, so the movement feels simple and direct.
- The painted surface brings warm red and orange tones, with fine green and dark detailing across the body.
- As a single rattle, it gives a focused rhythm rather than the wider stereo feel of a pair.
- It suits drum circles, school music, parties, sound-led ritual, or a spontaneous beat beside the sofa.
Ratten, colour and handcraft
Handcrafted in Indonesia from ratten, it has a natural, tactile character rather than a factory-perfect finish. The surface shows layered colour and visible line work, so small variations are part of its charm.
How it feels to play
Hold the handle loosely and shake from the wrist for a steady pulse. Short movements create tighter rhythmic patterns, while broader shakes give a more open, celebratory sound.
Use it on its own to mark a beat, or pair it with drums, singing bowls, clapping or voice. It is rhythmic percussion, not a tuned melodic instrument.
Rhythm, gathering and ritual
Maracas are closely associated with Caribbean and Latin American percussion, where rattles help carry dance rhythms, communal music and call-and-response patterns. Similar shaken instruments appear in many cultures because they are immediate, physical and easy to bring into a shared moment. Today, a rattle is often used beyond music too: to open a sound session, mark a transition, invite movement, or give a simple pulse for meditation and breath-led practice.
Keeping it in good condition
Store it somewhere dry and wipe with a soft cloth after handling. Avoid dropping it or leaving it in damp places, as rattles are sealed instruments and the sound depends on the body staying intact.
Size and details

- Material: ratten.
- Origin: Indonesia.
