Dream Catchers   

Medicine Wheels

 Mandellas    &   Spirit Totems

The legend of the Dream Catcher is thousands of years old. Native Americans wove them to provide dreams of goodness & beauty for their children & hung them on the child’s cradleboard. Like a spider’s web holds anything that comes into contact with it, a Dream Catcher attracts & holds bad dreams & negative energy while allowing good dreams & positive energy to pass through. Each Tribe has traditional variances associated with creating a Dream Catcher.

The following Dream Catchers, Medicine Wheels and Mandellas are crafted the traditional way.  As a Tribal member of the Cherokee Nation, I follow their tradition in making these items.  With each knot tie, an Invocation is offered to the Great Spirit, asking for blessings such as "compassion", "humility", "strength of character, "respect for all life" etc.  The energy associated with these invocations then becomes part of the Dream Catcher, and imparts those positive energies to those who come in contact with it. 

As each item is handmade, there can be small variances. 

Should you desire specific bead or feather colors, please indicate with order.
