+ Four Directions +

Different tribes interpret the Medicine Wheel differently.  Each of the Four Directions (East, South, West, and North) is typically represented by a distinctive color, such as black, red, yellow & white, which for some stands for the human races.  The Directions can also represent:

:: Stages of Life: birth, youth, adult, death

:: Seasons: Spring, Summer, Winter, Fall

:: Aspects of Life: Spiritual, emotional, intellectual, physical

:: Elements of Nature: Fire (or Sun), Air, Water, Earth

:: Animals: Eagle, Bear, Wolf, Buffalo

:: Ceremonial Plants: Tobacco, Sweet Grass, Sage, Cedar

Handcrafted Medicine Bag...

I've been working on this Medicine Bag for quite awhile.  Today it is complete.  Traditionally used to hold various items of supernatural power: special stones, animal fur, tobacco or healing herbs, totems, fetishes, magical tokens and blessings, all items having significant meaning to the owner!  No person, apart from the owner, was allowed to look inside this bag.  When the owner died, they were buried with it.

This is my Dream Bag: with visible reference to my daydreams (turquoise fox fetish) & my night dreams (black onyx fox fetish) strung along this beaded strand!  Tucked inside, of my eyes only, are the magical powers significant to me.  True to native tradition, I will be buried with this. 

Eagle Totem Goddess

Eagle: The Great Spirit Goddess~ Eagle symbolizes Power, Wisdom & Strength! The Eagle can also represent the sun (as it's flight symbolizes the sun's daily passage across the sky.) She has the ability to live in the realm of the Spirit, yet remain connected & balanced within the realm of Earth. If Eagle is your totem, the wings of your soul will be supported by the ever-present breezes which are the breath of the Great Spirit.

My Totem Goddess Collection is about one-of-a-kind necklaces featuring master, hand carved, buffalo bone pendants! Special stones and unique beads surround each pendant creating a truly eye catching piece! No two are alike! I crafted each one under the glow of a winter moon so they are magical, mystical & symbols of the spirits that guide our souls.

Eagle Goddess features: A hand carved Balinese buffalo bone pendant with the images of Eagle, Goddess, & Wolf, faceted green blue, white & brown Ribbon Agate, aqua oval Emperor stones, Glass Crystals in Rain, ceylon frosted aqua Seed Beads, beige seed beads, Nickel beads, and a lobster claw closure.

This necklace measures 20 1/2" long (drop length 9 1/2") with a pendant that is 2 1/2" long. Amazing!

Raven Totem Goddess

Raven: The Great Mystery Goddess~ The Raven symbolizes Intelligence, Life Magic & Destiny! Raven is known to hold powerful secrets. The blue-black color of Raven contains an iridescence that speaks of the magic of darkness which can mean the seeking of answers. In any healing circle Raven is present. Raven guides the magic of healing. If Raven is your totem then magic is in the air. The power of the unknown is at work, and something special is about to happen.
