MEDICINE BAGS contemporary medicine neck bags, medicine bags, belt pouches, etc.

Medicine in the Native American belief is anything that brings one closer to ones connection with himself and his greater source of power. A medicine bag would contain items such as stones, feathers, parts of sacred power animals, and anything else he would draw power from. It could contain items from loved ones and/or herbs for healing of the body, mind and spirit. These bags were also used to house their arrows and weapons, peace pipes or flutes. They were decorated in traditional designs done in beadwork or paint. Feathers, hair, leather, teeth, or other parts of animals were also used in the decoration of these bags.

NATIVE AMERICAN PRAYER FEATHERS / FANS

Sharon makes feathers for both the healing arts and also replicates feather fans from the 1800's. They are made for your specific requirements and with permission - Sharon tunes into your specific energies and creates the beadwork designs and puts energies (also through her visions) and prayers into each individual feather. Depending on your specific needs, each feather is created as it would have been created in the old days with love, care and ceremony

Native American Indians believed that feathers were gifts from Great Spirit. Birds were regarded as the highest spirit animal on earth and feathers were used to carry prayers to Great Spirit. They were decorated with stones, beads, and sometimes bones. Each Indian had their own power symbol for their prayer feathers.
Today, they are still used in the traditional way, and also in the healing arts.
