Dreamcatcher size:
approx 10”x5" wide (size and shape has slight variation)
3" Turkey feather
single glass bead
using a nice thick braid of sweetgras.
Select your bead color. Each Dreamcatcher is handmade using tree branches that I gather myself in the forests of the Pacific Northwest and around my home here in Astoria. I offer before taking, and I only take so many branches per-plant so as to not stress the living forest. I soak them and then wrap them and prepare them in a good way, I let them dry facing East in my home before I begin the process of making them into a Dreamcatcher.
Each Dreamcatcher is blessed just for you or your loved one simply put their name in the note box before checkout or I will bless it/them using the name(s) on the order. I also put out spirit plates and feast this beautiful Dreamcatcher before it leaves my home to arrive at yours. I do advise to bless it again when it arrives, at buyer's request I will provide cleansing instructions after purchase.
Each Dreamcatcher also comes with a feather and bead, using the highest quality white Buckskin Lace this gorgeous piece will last you several Generations if treated correctly. .
The Legend:
When the world was young there lived a child in a village, all night and day it would cry. The Elders and Medicine Keepers tried everyday to understand what would cause the tears, alas, no one could understand why the child cried, day after day, month after month until little spider came. She studied the child and quickly realized that they would in fact fall asleep but instantly wake up and cry.... Nightmares.... Spider thought quickly (for she thought as fast as she could run) and an idea came to her. She began to collect sticks, and then she wove a web, then she found a bead on the Lodge ground, and finally a feather.
The sticky fibers of her web would catch all the dreams, but, only the good dreams would find their way to the bead at the center and then fall down through the feather onto the child's head.
The entire village rejoiced! Spider had saved the day!
USE:
For a Dreamcatcher to work it must be made of wood, it must have a bead to help the good medicine find its way to the center, without a bead the medicine stay trapped in the webbing forever, and a feather, this is the only way the energy can pass down through the gift of a winged one, into the person below.
Make sure to hang these over your bed, or meditation space (they are not meant for rearview mirrors)
They can fill up as well and stop working over time, they require cleaning or you can also retire it by fire in a good way. If you need cleaning instructions again just make a note at checkout and I will message them to you after purchase.
