It’s wonderful to see the growth of people embracing craft
from sewing to jewellery making to up-cycling. I recently had a gift from a friend
of a necklace in the shape of a dream- catcher bought from a stall at Northcote
Road Market London. Like many I am fascinated and take inspiration from sacred
symbols that have evolved with time. This is the year to find the power in
sacred symbols and can be used as a tool to help you to discover different
parts of yourself and inner wisdom.
The dream-catcher originates from a Native American Tribe
called Ojibwe and is related to the myth of spider-women whose role it was to
take care of children and help bring the sun back to the tribe The Ojibwe tribe
migrated to the four corners of North America and so had a difficult time
making her way to all her children. With the help of the women in the tribe
they began weaving magical webs for new babies known as dream catchers made
from willow and string made from plants and were hung above their cots. The
dream-catcher is said to filter bad dreams and allow only good dreams to enter,
in the morning when the sun’s rays hit the dream-catcher and as the light
sparkles this is when the bad dreams evaporate.
To find inner wisdom and clarity, meditate on a Dream-
catcher. Photocopy a dream-catcher mandala find a quiet place and colour in. As
you relax and fill the mandala with colour ask your Higher guide (or
spider-women)to let positive dreams enter your dream time. Ask for dreams that
will show you guidance in your everyday life.
