More fun stuff based on part of our Peru experience.
The rattle at top is losely based on a shipibo-conibo rattle. It's usually made out of a gourd and incised with patterns. The sound of the rattle keeps the shaman rooted in the present.
The snake head object is a talking stick. Only the carrier of a talking stick is allowed to speak, until he passes it on to the next participant. I made it a snake because snakes have various meanings, the christian meaning of "evil" is not a common one. Snakes mean renewal, rebirth, are a symbol of the earth mother and mean wisdom in many cultures. The shaman speaks of the future with wisdom.
The rhino fetish is also symbolic of wisdom, but also past lives. The shaman acknowledges the ancestors and teaches lessons from the past.
