Greetings!
We want to share a delightful video of one of our young members learning how to make a medicine bag . It is essential to place culture in the center of their upbringing. Just as so with our storytelling, we must always have the young ones up front, receiving all the teachings our stories have to offer.
Today my son Odin and I spent some time together making a medicine bag. We had so much fun with this and he truly thinks he is an eagle now. We use our Medicine bags for carrying herbs and/or medicine (sage, tobacco, cedar, sweetgrass to smudge and give back to Mother Earth) to connect with the spiritual world, the Creator. The bag could also include personal possessions such as belongings of family members or special mementos. I have a feather from Buffalo lake, a special rock from Kanawake, and sand from Kamloops in mine along with my medicines. So how about you, whats in your bag?
