Waterhawk, I received my athame on fri. I have been able to look at it for 3 days. It is extremely beautiful. It fits my hand perfectly, like it was custom made for me. I could not be more pleased. The connection I have been looking for. Several people have made the comment that you should not buy your ceremonial piece without handling it first. I have to say "wrong". You are an artist. I really like the Labradorite. If I ever want anything else I will check with you first. Thank you!!!! I will always treasure my athame. Keep up the good work! Love and Blessings always Anitra

I purchased a chalice from the talent of water-hawk creations. They were very prompt in responding and I received my chalice safely in only a couple days. The chalice is so beautiful. The artistry and craftsmanship is truly amazing. The picture didn't give justice to the detail put into the piece. I have not seen a chalice to equal the beauty of the chalices I have seen from water-hawk. Golden Bird Rising

Merry Meet Waterhawk, This is Lady Aliyah. (You smudged myself and my Priest Balintus, this Starwood; and many before). Balintus bought a chalice for me, from you, a while back. He presented it to me this winter! Your work is fabulous!!! I will be using the Chalice my first time, this coming Beltane. Thank you for sharing your beautiful talents with others. I love your website!
Blessed Be Waterhawk!....Lady Aliyah

Don Waterhawk...a masterful artisan fully capable of imparting Shamanic magic into his creations...You have the most fabulous Web Site and I return to it quite frequently. The Fox skull/horn rattle was heavily potent with medicine. The Arcanum of stealth, camouflage and protectiveness are succinctly provided in this, one of my most treasured possessions. In Truth, it is an heirloom to be passed from one generation to the next. Four Winds to your Spirit Don!!

Don custom made my chalice with no more than a few bits of info about me and my photo, and when he sent it to me, I was astounded by not only its sheer beauty and artistry, but by the fact that Don had somehow captured the essence of who I was in the chalice. Don is a fabulous artist and a magickal man. Thank you Don!

Dear Friends, Brothers and Sisters... My name's Mark, I'm a Wiccan Priest, and I recently bought an ostrich-shell rattle, the spiral-design one, from Don and Daniella...It's beautiful, appears quite sturdy and durable I'd thought it would be fragile), and sounds wonderful. If you're doing shamanic-type healing work, it's the perfect tool for the job. It's also become a drum circle favorite of mine! The Waterhawks really do excellent work, are totally friendly...do you get the idea I'm pleased with my purchase? Blessed Be, everyone...!

Hello Don and Daniella, I do want to say that my athame looks even more beautiful in real life than on the pictures. I am very pleased, it is a beautiful piece of art. I am also very pleased to find that such inspiring people can be met on the internet, it was very nice doing business with you and I won't be searching for long if I want to purchase another ritual object. For me, it was like an extra exciting thing, because we are geographically thousands of miles and an entire ocean apart... however, I somehow feel very close to you because we share the same ideals and values. That is a great thought ! Bless you and yours and may your inspiration never cease, four winds Hesper (Nederland )

Yes, I received the Athame and I love it. The blade is great, but what still grabs my attention is the hilt with the amethyst.

Thanks, Tim

It is a rare occurrence for me to become so inspired by the work of artists that I feel it necessary to relate my feelings to others. I am not new to the Craft (however much younger I wish I were…) and have seen many ritual objects in my time. Now, many would argue that the Magick is the result of the will and not so much the tool. To which, I would answer; true… yet the tool can add it’s own intrinsic power to the individual’s will, becoming a powerful storage “container” that grows more powerful with each use.

I have the honor of possessing a Waterhawk athame, Atlantius and two Gaia Eggs, all of which I shall treasure for the rest of my life and pass down to my line. The uniqueness and power of these tools is absolutely breathtaking! The Gaia Eggs are wonderful; I call one Gaia’s Cradle because of it’s incredible healing energy. My health has improved already! My athame is now such a part of me that I couldn’t dream of being without it. What can I say about Atlantius? I have trouble putting him down…

Thank you, Don and Daniella WaterHawk, for creating and sharing such wonderful, beautiful, and powerful tools. To any who read this: If you are truly serious about your life’s path, save your money and purchase your ritual tools here, you will never regret the effort. If one calls to you, there IS a reason.

May your names be sung by all generations, May the God and Goddess keep you prosperous, healthy, and whole, May you continue to be infused with Spirit and infuse that Spirit into your creations. Blessed be.

I now have 5 spectacular pieces of Waterhawk's art and would offer my highest recommendation to this wonderful artist. Every piece is beautful and the energy is amazing. My pieces were custom-ordered and was extremely pleased by the results. The service is friendly and fast, the packing is superb! Thus far I have a wand, athame, chalice, gaia egg and shell bowl - and am looking to see what I will add next. Bright Blessings and Thank You both so much for your kindness. SilverMoonDragon

creations are fantastic! I am so impressed! Thanks so much! It will be a

I just received my Athame (Ath540) and it is beautiful. I always dreamed of owning such a piece of art as this and now I do.
Thank you for making it a possibilty. I will take the very best care of it.

Hi!!!!
       I received the Athame, today. It's beautiful!!!! I was hoping the
blade was going to be longer, but somehow, this is more fitting for me. I
feel you know that. The handle is "exactly" how I saw it in my mind. I was going to try to describe, to you, what I would have liked the handle to look like, but during our conversation, something told me just to trust... (I'm thankful I did.) If I had tried to describe it, I probably would have messed it up or confused
the flow of energy... Even the stones, you chose, were perfect!
    Something tells me to surround it in something red. Spirit will show me...

       Thank you for "knowing" and creating such a wonderful energy in my life.

        An abundance of Blessings to You and Daniella,
                           Vanessa

Hi Don,
I received my athame last night and I haven't been able to put it down since. I love it, I keep putting it down on my alter and going back 5 minutes later to look at it or play with it again. I can't believe what perfect timing this was, I'm dedicating to a coven next full moon and I didn't know what I was going to do w/out an athame, nothing I found was right until I found this one.
Actually I think you know the coven I'm dedicating to, the Circle of the Winged Lion? Do you remember Robin and Mike? They came to your shop a while back to buy their athames. They told me to say hello.
Anyway, I love it and I can' wait to concecrate it and put it to use.
thanks again!

Don and Patricia, I cannot thank you enough for creating SACRED BEAT. This book taught me thing about the drum that I have been wanting to know; but also things that I had experienced, confirming my love and respect for the drum. This book came into my life, like that of a powerful spirit. The drum is such a big part of my life. It is wonderful to see and read about others who have found this powerful energy. I could not rush this book, I savoured each moment. Drum circles are incredible! This book the two of you have brought into my and so many others lives, is the greatest gift. The creator works through your words. I would love to drum with the two of you, and have many conversations through our drums, but also to share my experiences. We are on a very similar path. Thanks for this awesome, powerful read. Peace, grazie,ciao. Mark J. Chindemi (a.k.a chino)

I own a retail store in Sacramento, CA and have carried WaterHawk Creations for several years. The quality and workmanship is the best and my clients love the wonderful stones included in the Wands and Shell Bowls. There is a definite spiritual quality to each piece that I so appreciate. And they're great people to work with. I feel very lucky to have them as a business associate. Susan

Dear Daniela and Don,

I recently received the athame I ordered and it is breath-taking! I knew it would be since this is the second ritual knife I have ordered from you. Your pieces are exquisite! I am ruined for all others! When I reach third degree in my tradition, I will be looking to you for my sword. Thank you once again for an amazing experience.

Love and Light,

Absolutely the most stunning pieces I have ever come across. Pictures don't do these pieces justice! Don is a one of a kind; you can tell when you hold one of his pieces, he feels them also. This is why they are so special. Once you have then in your space and make them yours, you will feel them also. J. K. Louisiana aka Katrinaville
