Please
understand that the information provided on these pages about the
Sacred Plants is limited and introductory. There are general uses, and
there are particular uses. The uses
and
applications of
these herbs and plants specific to each life, and appropriate to the
times, is something only known privately. The only way
to truly
learn is to begin to live this under the guidance of a Native Elder,
Pipe Carrier, Cultural teacher, or Medicine Person.
The 4 Sacred Medicines are added to
each Loom we make. Each is gifted or gathered, thanks to friends who
have learned to love our looms. The 4 Sacred Plants give life to each
loom. It is our hope that you and your beadwork will be affected in a
good way. View the Looms here.
