OK the peace pipe is one of the most recognisable elements used by the native american indian
One thing to remember about all of the Native American spiritual pieces is that they are composed entirely of things found in nature
- leater not cured by any chemical meens
- bones, stones, feathers, quills, furs
- human hair
- dies made from; berry juices, ground minerals
and even human blood
the main body of a peace pipe is made of wood
or the long bone (such as a femor) of an animal
The part that holds the burning substances is normally a stone or bone perhaps even an antler.
Of corse the Pipe is decorated with items from the above list.
This piece is smoked for personal use during time of reflection, or with close friends and family
as a way to bond.
A pipe is usualy handed down the family and each person who ouns the pipe strips it to the bare wood (or whatever hapens to be the main body) and only keeps few items to place back onto the Peace Pipe.
Ensure that you take great respect for this Pipe
It is a strong magic in the Native American culture.
this is an old style indian (feather not dot) "magic"
Take a leather pouch made of leather only tanned by natual meens and decorate it with natural stones dies or beeds made of pollished bones stones quils or other "pure" elements
"pure elements" are things un tainted by chemicals or man made substances
Fill this pouch with things such as hair of loved ones or special natural components
This charm is known as a medicine bag and is verry special
-to allow someone to see your componants is
to let them see into your spirit
- to let some one touch your componants is to leave a lasting impression of their spirit into yours
FEMALES are strong magic and will destroy any power of an indian medicin of any sort
