Communal Protection Medicine Choker

$55.00

We remember the sounds of our animal relatives - herds, rumbling across rocks, mountains, vast desert landscapes. Among grasses, the soft and powerful steps of our great friends, the buffalo, grazed and migrated all across the Americas as majestic herds. Sustaining our lives and lifeways. Mescal beans have served as ancient protectors for us for thousands of years. They keep bad energies and spirits away, and bring courage to our actions and thoughts.

This necklace carries the prayer of intentional movement with community in mind, protection during our internal and external seasons of migration, and the strength to move with clarity during these times of obscuration.

-

The number 3 represents the past, present, future. Ancestors, our current selves, and our children. A reminder that we are more than just a singular moment of time or being. We honor all that has come before us, all that we are now, and all who will come. 

The number 4 represents the four elements and the four directions. A reminder that we are the center and the surroundings that make this reality, all at once. We are surrounded, guided, and molded by unseen forces.

The number 7 is a reminder that our conduct and choices will affect the next 7 generations directly. We are a product of the 7 generations before us, and our work directly impacts those ancestral energies as well.

Materials: Buffalo bones, caribou antlers, mescal beans, brass beads, leather, and sinew.

Made with care.
