Medicine Wheels & Dream Catchers

The outer circle of the Medicine Wheel represents the universe and your circle of life. The cross represents the Four Sacred Directions. The circle and the cross draw from the universe and bring into your circle of life good medicine and protection from misfortune and harm.
 Sioux legends speak to us of the dreamcatcher. It is believed that each carefully woven web will catch your dreams in the night air. The bad spirit dreams will become entangled in the web and disappear in the new day. The good spirit dreams will always find their way through the center opening, and will gently float down the sacred feather to bless the dreamer with peaceful dreams. This dream catcher captures the beauty of this sacred legend.

There are many legends about Turquoise; The Pima consider it to bring good fortune and strength and that it helped overcome illness. The Zuni believe that blue turquoise was male and of the sky and green turquoise was female and of the earth. Pueblo Indians thought that its color was stolen from the sky. In Hopi legend the lizard who travels between the above and the below, excretes turquoise and that the stone can hold back floods. The Apache felt that turquoise on a gun or bow made it shoot straight. The Navajo consider it as good fortune to wear and believe it could appease the Wind Spirit.
