MEDICINE BAGS - WHAT ARE THEY? A medicine bag is a deep-rooted Native American traditionthat spiritually represents the person who wears it.They are pouches or bundles of sacred objects. The medicine bag is known in all cultures and through all of history. They are deeply honored and sacred to their caretakers. There are several different types of medicine bags for different purposes.They are considered living things and honored as such. A medicine bag holds objects of individual spiritual importance. The objects kept in the bag are often referred to as power objects and all are considered sacred to the person that put them in the bag. Sacred objects kept in the bags can include items such as stones, gems and minerals, herbs, teeth, claws, fur, feathers, corn, beans or squash seeds. (The Three Sisters - corn, beans and squash - represented abundance and a deep connection with Mother Earth.) Objects that connect you with your personal totem are the ones that often find their home withinthe medicine bag. The words "totem animal" are often referred to. That would mean something that represents an animal that you closely associate with and experience a oneness with. You can put something to symbolize this animal in your medicine bag. Your article would embody the power of the animal. Traditionally, personal medicine bags were worn around the neck or on the belt close to the body. Various cultures feel that by wearing the bags close to the body, the sacred power of the bag are stronger, and that your personal power is enhanced.
