By including “personal DNA” from each loved one, you are asking the universe and the Great Spirits to watch over and keep loved ones healthy and safe. Traditionally, with some tribes, a medicine bag would be filled with a little hair and fingernail clippings from the owner and his or her family, sacred stones, and ceremonial sage or sweet grass. Some medicine wheels have a bag attached with others you may want to choose your own bag to hang with the medicine wheel. The circle and the spokes draw from the universe and bring into your circle of life good medicine and protection from misfortune and harm.
The spokes represent the Four Sacred Directions. The outer circle of a medicine wheel represents the universe and one's circle of life. The good spirit dreams will always find their way through the web and will gently float down the feathers to bless the sleeper with peaceful dreams. The bad spirit dreams will become entangled in the web and disappear on the breeze of the new day.
Crafted and accented with natural materials, we offer unique objects of art and craft.Īccording to Ojibwe legend about dreamcatchers, it is believed that each carefully woven web will catch your dreams in the night air. At Kachina House we carry a vast selection of Native American dream catchers and medicine wheels, handmade by artists from various tribes.
