Dreamcatchers are not just things, arts and crafts of Native American
people. The original spider web dreamcatchers of the Ojibwe were
intended to teach natural wisdom. Nature
is a profound teacher. Listen as
these dreamcatchers whisper the Original Instructions and the wisdom of
the Seventh Fire. These dreamcatchers teach the natural wisdom of
the Seventh Fire, Circle Power, Spider Web, Lotus, Spiral dreamcatchers, Father Sun,
Many Native American prophecies say NOW is a
pivotal time on Mother Earth. Some are ready to make the quantum
leap to the next level of human evolution. It's to those people
that these dreamcatchers speak, the new people described as the Osh-ki-bi-mah-di-zig led by spirit warriors, the Ogichidaag'.
Natural twigs are used
in these dreamcatchers, primarily the traditional
red willow, but also golden, slender, and weeping willow, red-twig and
gold-twig dogwood. Suitable plants can be found in almost all
regions. When in the Southwest I used the abundant tamarisk, in
California, the wild cinnamon-colored manzanita.

original intention. directly from spirit. See with eyes of
spirit; listen with your heart.
Here is an email we received from a concerned mother who tells the story best:
I am in need of a dream catcher for a 2 1/2 year old girl. She has one in her room that was
made for her, which does not seem to help. After looking at the pictures of yours I see a
significant difference. (I don't know if that makes a difference or not) She wakes up several
times during the middle of the night calling "mommy" and usually comes running out of her room.
When I get to her and pick her up she occasionally will tell me "it's scary mommy". When I ask
her what's scary she doesn't usually say anything, but will point into her room. When I ask her
what in her room is scary she usually just repeats "its scary". She then goes back to
sleep.
Could you please suggest a dream catcher to help or could you make one for her and what would
the cost be.
Thanks,
A spider web was recommended, the mother ordered it, a spider web of gold willow and a white
feather set was made, and here is the response:
Thank you so much for the dream catcher. My daughter is no longer waking up screaming "its
scary." The dream catcher is a GOD send. I was at my wit's end not knowing what to do. It also
has seemed to help with the dark, she wouldn't walk into a room if the lights were off and now
she will. I spent several hours on the internet before I found you. All of the other sites do
not use natural materials and I knew I had to find someone that did so I didn't end up with
just another hanging decoration.
In his unusual and extremely readable autobiography, Memories, Dreams,
Reflections, dictated and written when he was eighty-one, the Swiss psychiatrist Carl
Jung describes his encounter with the Native American chief of the Taos pueblos in New Mexico in
1932.
"I was able to talk with him as I have rarely been able to talk with a European," Jung recalls.
"To be sure, he was caught up in his world just as much as a European is in his, but what a
world it was! In talk with a European, one is constantly running up on the sand bars of things
long known but never understood; with this Indian, the vessel floated freely on deep alien
seas. At the same time, one never knows which is more enjoyable: catching sight of new shores,
or discovering new approaches to age old knowledge that has been almost forgotten" (Vintage, p.
247).
Chief Ochwiay Biano, which means Mountain Lake, must have sensed a kindred spirit in the Swiss
doctor, because he was devastatingly candid with him.
Chief Mountain Lake: "See how cruel the whites look, their lips are thin, their noses sharp,
their faces furrowed and distorted by folds. Their eyes have a staring expression; they are
always seeking something. What are they seeking? The whites always want something. They are
always uneasy and restless. We do not know what they want. We do not understand them. We think
that they are all mad."
When Jung asks why he thinks they are all mad, Mountain Lake replies, "They say they think with
their heads."
"Why of course," says Jung. "What do you think with?"
"We think here," says Chief Mountain Lake, indicating his heart.
After this exchange, Jung fell into a deep meditation. The Pueblo chief had struck a vulnerable
spot. Jung saw image upon image of cruelties wreaked by his forebears: the Roman eagle on the
North Sea and the White Nile, "the keenly incised features of Julius Caesar, Scipio Africanus,
and Pompey...Charlemagne's most glorious forced conversions of the heathen...the pillaging,
murdering bands of the Crusading armies...the peoples of the Pacific islands decimated by
firewater, syphilis and scarlet fever carried in the clothes the missionaries forced on
them."
Chief Mountain Lake had shown Jung the other face of his own civilization: it was "the face of
a bird of prey seeking with cruel intentness for distant quarry...."
What makes this dialogue reported by Jung so relevant is that it is a living encounter between a
representative of the unconscious "heart thinking" of the ancients and a modern man of science and
pioneer of consciousness who understood that the wisdom of the heart must catch up with our
overdeveloped "thinking heads" if we are to survive. We have to preserve the gold in the age-old
"knowledge of the heart" and keep making it ever more conscious if we are to protect our growing
human possibilities from the keen-featured bird-of-prey mentality that circles above. We must
develop a new consciousness of the heart.

This is a crazy world. What can be done? Amazingly, we have been mislead. We have been taught that
we can control government by voting. The founder of the Rothschild dynasty, Mayer Amschel Bauer,
told the secret of controlling the government of a nation over 200 years ago. He said, "Permit me
to issue and control the money of a nation and I care not who makes its laws." Get the picture?
Your freedom hinges first on the nation's banks and money system. Freedom is connected with Debt Elimination for each individual. Not only does
