Paula says -

"This Ceremonial Raven Medicine Shield is so engaging and powerful. It depicts Shaman Spirit Raven rising from Mother Earth with lightning and rain, bringing prosperity, abundance and protection to dwellers of Earth and Sky. In the center is a Medicine Wheel with the four sacred colors."

The Raven Spirit Shield is hand crafted from a gourd and hand decorated using pyrography (carving with fire) painting with acrylics and enamals. The shield is signed and dated by the artist and comes with a Certificate of Authenticity and information and legend card.

Fringe is beaded with traditional yellow and black glass crow beads, silver beads and cones.

The beautiful feathers are from domestically raised peafowl and the feathers are gathered at natural molt with no harm to the birds.

From Apache artist Cynthia Whitehawk:

CROW/RAVEN MEDICINE - The Raven and Crow are very similar in their strengths: both carry great responsibility to Spirit and are the messengers of magic and healing from the universe where all knowledge waits for us. They also symbolize changes in consciousness, of levels of awareness and perception.

MEDICINE WHEEL - The Medicine Wheel represents American Indian Spirituality - the journey each individual must take to find his or her path. The Medicine Wheel is based on the four cardinal directions and the four sacred colors. A circle represents life; at the center of the circle is the eternal fire.

SPIRIT SHIELD - Shields are ancient ceremonial tools, providing protection from that which would harm or divert one from the good path, bringing strength and healing through ones power totems, Spirit Animals and Beings, and Mother Earths elements.
