By Request...




A good friend has requested a close up of the beading in my Medicine Pouches...I aim to please...

This is the best one I have of the Eagle... It has already been gifted so I can't take any more photo's unfortunately.




The Lion, like my Son, is my pride and joy. As you can see he has additional charms and medicine symbols sewn into his mane.
I've tried to get in closer but my camera skills are relatively limited and it all becomes a blur....another skill to practice on...

It's Been Forever...

It's been ages since I've written anything... I've been side-tracked with other ideas. Not that this is a bad thing, it's just different. My creativity has possessed me lately and what with cooking, crafting and readings, I don't seem to have time for anything else.

So what exactly have I been doing...ho hum...okay I'll share...



Welcome to Totem Spirit Designs!



Those of you that read my previous post on the trees, will know that I collected the energy available through ritual... the next step was to find somewhere safe to hold that energy...




This is what I created. This is my personal Medicine Pouch, which includes symbols of all the Medicine that I hold and can work with. As a first attempt I was really pleased with it, particularly since sewing was never among my gifts...


However I am a perfectionist and I wanted to improve on my new found skills...



This is where it led me...




The next bag I began was for my eldest Son, the Lion is his Totem and I wanted to make him a Pouch to carry his own Medicine in, when he comes of age. This one took me a month to complete, each bead is individually hand stitched and believe me it takes hours!!!




On a roll I decided to continue. I find it really therapeutic to just sit beading, it stave's off the boredom of housework and kids and I'm really proud of what I've created.




My latest creation was a gift for a close friend. She claims the Eagle as her Guide and I made this to mark her Rite of Passage into Motherhood.







I may not write again for a while, as I've already started my latest design and my fingers will once more be busy...


I am still available for Readings, Rituals, Dream Interpretation and Healing, so feel free to drop me a line.
