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. Read more about fetishes.

Armadillo Symbolism

Armadillo ("little armored one") is thick-skinned, reserved, slow-moving and sure. He reminds us to slow down and go with the flow of life. Armadillo is an accomplished digger and is more than willing you help you find things you need or that you have lost.
