MEDICINE BAGS

Many people in Shamanism like to wear a medicine bag around their neck filled with saced objects.

These objects may be stones, crystals, hebs or twigs.

These objects connect the Shaman with their special powers.

It also establishes a relationship with other levels of reality.

The pouch may be circular, made of cloth, with cord around the edge and gathered up at the neck.

A Power Bundle is a larger version.

It may be spread on an alter, burnt in the case of herbs or shaken in the case of a rattle.

A Crane Bag is similar to a Power Bundle.

It derives from Celtic beliefs.
