Each Sage Bag is handmade from deer skin and stuffed with silver sage from the Black Hills, which has a sweeter smell than most sage. Sage pleases the spirits and is used for healing and to drive out negativity. Sage neck bags are traditionally worn continuously under the shirt with respect and for protection. A Certificate of Authenticity signed by the artist is available upon request. | Paula says - "If you'd like to use one of these bags as a medicine bag or to hold a totem or special item, you can slide the beads on the neck strap up, open the bag, remove the sage and put your item in the bag."

FOUR SACRED COLORSMany Native Americans view the world as having four directions. Each direction has a special meaning and color associated with it. The Lakota use the colors black, red, yellow and white to represent the four directions. For some, the colors represent the four seasons and the changes we make on our journey through life. Every tribe and every person has their own beliefs and you should use what best represents what you believe. Read more about Four Colors Medicine Wheel. | ||||||||||||||
