Hello all my brothers and sisters, due to my involvement with the newly formed Native American Indians of Texas Tribe I will not be able to visit this site as often as I would like. White Eagle will be here daily and I am sure Wardancer and Toro will be able to help you as well. I will continue to be an Administrator on this site but will be busy with other matters for a while. I send many blessing to ALL of you !

I might make my own, did get buckskin for it and good carved Bear claw (one without any plastic). I have instructions for what to add inside after finished and how to use. Good to hear from you again Huronwoman.

Yeah, really should make my own Medicine bag. I got a really good deal on Ebay for stones. It was all from the same seller. I'm learning to use everything now in ceremony, except the extra Quartz crystals. I got one Quartz crystal by itself. The size is 4 inch long twin points flat on the bottom, 4 inch wide. If you can picture in your mind a flat base crystal, nearly round with 2 main points in one direction, angle edges in all 4 directions. Plus the largest point has a large beautiful triangle on it. From the same seller got also 2 lbs. of large beautiful clear Quartz crystals. And a blue/light blue agate slice and amber slice same size, shape. Plus 16 tumbled African Bloodstone, 3 Citrine crystals, a Citrine root crystal. I was able to combine all this for a lower shipping cost. The total price for the stones...$10 less than what I paid for shipping. Dad recovered completely from the fall. Didn't have to use any of these stones for him. But Mom, after her spider bite needed to use them a lot. I have a post on this. nativeamerican.proboards75.com/index.cgi?board=photos&action=display&thread=1188273737The stories and photos I submitted to Channel 22 TV News were on the TV website for a long time. I see they finally took them off now. I'll have to replace the links with the photos in the post. Mom doesn't follow the old ways, but she goes to a Christian church that believes in healing. She has not gone to a doctor yet about the spider bite. The 1 inch hole has healed up ok. But it had gotten infected with gangreen. After Some special ceremonies with my new stones, it all got better. Then a new area farther away from the hole got infected. It was mostly surface, where previously swollen a distance of 2 inches away from the bite. I did my 3 special ceremonies again and immediately started getting better. All of the bite area, plus the one just mentioned were healed and still healed. But now her toes were it had also been swollen at times is getting infected. She has experienced a little in the lungs now too. So, I'm preparing to do some ceremonies again The bite area plus 2 inches around is still healed from the ceremonies. I am so glad to have been learning the ways of the Great Spirit! THE OLD WAYS WORK!!! The biggest problem I think, is Mom is too quick to be up working doing things in the garden, etc. A doctor would tell her to take it easy. But no doctor yet...no Meds either. Normally a person in Mom's condition a doctor would give antibiotics. Mom has her ideas of what faith is.

I am sorry about your mom's spider bite, when the black widow bit me I didn't go to the hospital, wouldn't have done any good anyway! but later did have to go to the doctor in order to breathe, straight garlic is one of the best antibiotics, especially topical, I don't know what kind of spider her bite came from but it sounds like a brown recluse, how is your medicine bag coming? I make plane ones so that they can be worn under your clothing next to your skin, that way the medicine is the strongest. Don't let admirers touch your bag or you will need to cleanse it by smudging it. I guess you know how to make the prayer bundle to be wrapped in red felt and put in the bag right? I should include sage and tobacco as well as stones, everyone does theirs done differently, let the Creator guide you on what to do with yours and all will go well.

Hi Huronwoman! I don't have time to make my Medicine bag or as it is called "Sacred Bundle" right now. I thought this winter would be a good time. Yes, I have info on how to fill the bundle this is what I have on my website. It is more of a Lakota bundle, but is what information I have. And have some Sage leaves already to add also. Smudging Your Medicine Bag A new Sacred Bundle or Medicine Bag is smudged first, all of it's contents. The size may vary, but can be as large as 12-14" in length. You will need to add inside it, a small tobacco bag, another small bag of corn pollen or corn meal. A piece of Flint or Obsidian should be considered.
These are the basic items to start with.
1. One or more of stones, minerals, crystals.
2. One or more representations of animals (Feathers, claws, bone, teeth).
3. One or more of plants, trees.
4. One or more representation for technology.
5. During your first Vision Quest, special objects found should be added. These are a representation of power, the spiritual path.
Smudge the items before going on the Vision Quest. The sacred objects found during a Vision Quest, need not be smudged first before adding.
Mom was bit by a North American specie of the spider genus called Funnel-web. It is cousin to the Sydney Funnel-web. Both make their home in a web that is shaped like a funnel you pour liquid into a jar with...I got some photos of them taken by my camera. Apparently it got here from other countries through shipping of products. In the United States it is called the Hobo Spider, is not a native one. You see them on websites with Black Widows and Brown Recluse photos. Brown Recluses are less common. Many bites reported as Brown Recluse, actually may really be Hobo Spider instead. The bites are identical, one looks like the other. I've never seen a Brown Recluse yet where I live. I know of a few people in my area who believed they got a Brown Recluse bite once. People here go to the hospital, except those that trust in prayer. Here is the web. The funnel shape goes into a tunnel of web. Here is a cornered spider.

My dear Laughing Eyes! I can surely empathize with you on your disc problems. I finally gave in after 5 years of suffering, epidural injections, etc etc and went to a wonderful neurosurgeon who fused my neck c3 thru c7 although actually i needed c2-c3 done too i wouldn't' have any mobility at all and was dancing at a pow wow 3 months later, then he fused l4 thru s-1 an although I still have pain 24/7 at least I can feel my left foot and leg and no more burning pain. I will say prayers for you that the shots give you some relief Keep to the red road and let Creator guide your decisions. Also I danced in competition 3 months after the back surgery. Hang in there cousin!!!!

I would apply for social security disability and if your company has disability insurance you certainly should put in for that, put yourself in Creators' hands and Her will will be done and your best interest will be at the top of the list, you will never get off my prayer list I also have fibromyalga so know what your life can be like, it is a great accomplishment just to get out of bed in the morning or early afternoon sometimes I don;t make it out of bed all day. my days get confused sometimes and even have a Dr's note for my section 8 housing appointments that states i cannot have early am appointments. Hang in there sweetie hopefully SS disability will go through quickly, get a lawyer right away, it took me 2 years for mine to go through so start quickly, its your money you've been paying it the entire time you have been working it's not a hand out! My prayers are with you please keep us posted ok?
