MAKING A MEDICINE BAG

The Medicine Bag was traditionally used by the Shaman or Medicine Man to carry sacred herbs and objects that were believed to have healing powers. Although The Medicine Bag is still used today by many aboriginal people, it is also used by non-aboriginal people who wear it for good luck and/or spiritual purposes. It can be worn as a ‘necklace’ or under ones clothing directly against the skin.
