Legend of the Dreamcatcher - According to legend, dreams are
messages from sacred spirits. Grandmothers traditionally weaved a small
dreamcatcher to hang onto the cradleboard of a child. The dreamcatchers
were made with prayers so that the good dreams were allowed to pass through
the hole in the center while the bad dreams were trapped in the web until
the morning sun at which time they would disappear.
The Medicine Wheel is a symbol for the teaching of balance, harmony
and the brotherhood of man. Representing the wheel of life, the center
cross symbolizes the four winds, four seasons, four directions and the
four corners of the earth.
The Mandella is one of the most powerful American Indian items there
is and originated as the war shield. They are believed to bring happiness,health,
prosperity, and good luck to the owner.
Prayers for survival, spiritual blessings, strong visions, physical
protection, and long life go into the making of the traditional Mandella.
Honor these truths with your own prayers - and when you look upon your
wall, and find your eyes drawn to your personal Mandella- Creator can
whisper, and empower you with inner strength, humility....and peace.
