Items placed in them are recognized as having various supernatural abilities and would often be procured in a tribal custom known as a vision quest. Customarily this ceremony includes personal sacrifice: fasting and prayer over several days in a location isolated from the rest of the community, often involving hallucinogens. The purpose was to make contact with natural spiritual forces that help or guide people to reach their potential. The spirits, or totems, would aid the individual to gather magical items, increase knowledge and aid personal growth.

You may have a medicine bag and never go on a vision quest. Your bag might include a lock of hair from an individual important to you naturally or spiritually.  It may include certain herbs, stones, or other items that are meaningful due to a personal experience that they represent. These contents are for your  spiritual strength.  Because they are so personal, no one else should ever be able to look into your bag, or even to touch it.

Powers attributed to these bags and their contents also include increasing hunting abilities, aiding fighting skills, healing allies and hindering enemies.

Our bags are handmade by Camille "Water Flower", Cherokee/Creek, unless otherwise noted.  They also make perfect gifts for children to keep their "special" rocks or arrowheads in!
