What is a Fetish? A fetish is a rock carving of an animal that captures the spirit and the essence of the animal, not necessarily its exact detailed conformation. A double fetish represents relationship and unity. Read more about fetishes.
Medicine Bundle. Many fetishes have a medicine bundle, offering bundle, or adornment tied on the back of the animal that can consists of coral seed beads, shell heishi, feathers and other stone pieces. These may be used as an offering to the fetish, to evoke the spirit of the fetish or to increase the strength of a fetish.
Bear. The bear is a symbol of strength and deliberate action, introspection, soul and insight for the past and the future.
Turquoise.
Comes in all shades of blue, to blue-green, with a possible shading towards brown-veined
greens. Matrix (veining) may or may not be present in any color(s). It
is the natural variations in turquoise that make it appealing. The color of turquoise

believe blue turquoise is male and of the sky and green turquoise is female and
of the earth.
