Native American Dream Catcher (Black 3-D)

Description

This unique dream catcher is concentric and is three dimensional. There are two hoops joined together by the "spider" webbing. I apologize for the photograph as for some reason, the leather wrapping appears blue when, in fact, it is black!

The concentric double hoops are wrapped in black leather and are webbed with tan cord. It is decorated with white and black pony beads and black plume feathers.

The hoops are each 3 inches in diameter. The adjustable hanging loop is 3 1/2". The overall length of the dream catcher from the top of the loop to the bottom of the longest feather is 12".

This dream catcher should be twice as effective in catching those bad dreams as a single variety! But I make no promise of that!

The Legend of the Dreamcatcher

"A spider was quietly spinning his web in his own space. It was beside the sleeping space of Nokomis, the grandmother.

Each day, Nokomis watched the spider at work, quietly spinning away. One day as she was watching him, her grandson came in. "Nokomis-iya!" he shouted, glancing at the spider. He stomped over to the spider, picked up a shoe and went to hit it.

"No-keegwa," the old lady whispered, "don't hurt him."

"Nokomis, why do you protect the spider?" asked the little boy. The old lady smiled, but did not answer.

When the boy left, the spider went to the old woman and thanked her for saving his life. He said to her, "For many days you have watched me spin and weave my web. You have admired my work. In return for saving my life, I will give you a gift."

He smiled his special spider smile and moved away, spinning as he went. Soon the moon glistened on a magical silvery web moving gently in the window. "See how I spin?" he said. "See and learn, for each web will snare bad dreams. Only good dreams will go through the small hole. This is my gift to you. Use it so that only good dreams will be remembered. The bad dreams will become hopelessly entangled in the web."
