Dream Catchers
It's fall y'all and its beautiful outside! It's time to let your Nature Mystic come outside and play in the wind and cool air!
In the little devotional book, 365 Days of Walking the Red Road, the reading for today, October 29 is about the Dream Catcher. As someone who has enjoyed Native Mysticism my whole life- I have made and owned many dream catchers.
The reading tells us that there are actually two kinds of dream catchers. One is given in childhood. It is made of willow so that it will eventually fall apart. This represents the child growing out of childhood. The adult dream catcher typically has a feather in the center, along with beads. The adult dream catcher is made of woven fibers that last with time.
All Dreamcatchers depict, in some way, the four cardinal directions. And they represent the spider’s web. Spider has strong spirit animal medicine related to creativity, patience and the connectedness to all things.
Dreamcatcher are made from natural materials and are always hand made. They are to be placed on the wall, over the bed, just above and ONLY above the person for whom the Dreamcatcher was made.
Feeling crafty? Make a dream catcher. I like to make them and its pretty easy!
Once you've made and are ready to hang your dream catcher, you can add a blessing.
Dream Catcher Blessing:
Grandmother Spider, Weaver of Dreams,
spin your sacred web with love and light.
Let only visions born of peace and truth
find their way through the night.
May the winds carry away all fear,
may the stars watch gently from above.
I honor the spirits who guide my rest,
and give thanks for their protection and love.
