Medicine earring Symbols:

From generation to generation Medicine Women have handed down the proper sharing of the symbols in crafts, and keeping the traditions from Generation unto Generation. As a Medicine Woman I craft Medicine Symbol Earrings for the Pow Wows.

Each symbol represents a PATH IN LIFE of the one wearing.

Picture Stones

A story was told of an old wise Medicine Man named Mugwa who one day was sitting along a running stream which ran uphill.

Mugwa heard a vision that said" "Look at the stones!" Hearing this, Mugwa began to search the stones around him and one caught his eye. Upon picking it up he saw a picture of Katonka upon the stone, and knew then the humor of the Creator, and the wonder of the gift from Mother Earth.

To this day Medicine men and Medicine woman have had the gifts of Picture Stones given to them by Mother Earth. Each having its' own story and great power of insight upon the stones. Some even feel warm as some even feel cold. Creators' humor is upon each stone crafted from The Hand which holds us all as One Blood and One Nation.
