About Lakota Sage Medicine Bags

Native American Indian Buckskin Sage Bag Each Sage Bag is handmade from deer skin and stuffed with sage from the Black Hills. 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.

Paula says - "If you'd like to use one of the triangular shaped bags as a medicine bag or to hold a totem or special item, you can untie the strings around the neck of the bag, slide the beads on the neck strap up, open the bag, remove the sage and put your item in the bag. The round bags are completely stitched around the outer edge, so with them, this would not be an option."

THE FOUR SACRED COLORS

Many 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.
