#crowwheel

When folk medicine was known as the only medicine and the symbols were a part of daily ritual; there was a story about a man name Silas Green. Silas knew early, like all those in the same days, that some birds could come to know you and some birds would even remember you. He had made friends with a kindly crow that he named Cupolas. This bird came to his window daily and other times more. Silas would feed him and Cupolas would bring him quartz, buttons, and various trinkets. After sometime Cupolas would end up in his dreams and in each dream he would show Silas the ‘Crow Wheel.’ It is odd because Crow wheels have ended up in so many cultures with so many different names but all the same purpose. So many of us, with no contact in this world, came together on the other side while we sleep. When a Crow Wheel is made it is made as a fetish token in the elder’s way. As it is wrapped by facing specific directions pulling in ancestor medicine and guidance to help you pave your own path. The crow brings lost loved one’s energy to the hoops and helps you weave intentions for your life. There are certain goals and intentions you place in the hoops and when they are achieved you can add to them over time. Crow Wheel fetish Necklaces are passed down as not just an heirloom but a protection amulet. When unseen danger comes our ancestors tell the crow to turn the wheel to safety.
