The Legend of the Dream Catcher

Dream Catcher Legend
Long ago Earth People saw, felt and heart Spirit all around. Becoming selfish and through neglect, most lost this ability. They began to follow every teacher, only a few continued to seek answers and truth.
A young man in searching truth and vision came upon a Spider who said, ” I will help, You must find the Seventh Direction, Within”. “I will make medicine to help you.”
The old Spider bent a twig and wove a web within. She hung a feather for the Winged Ones, the Bringers of Dreams; a shell for the Water People, so dreams might be clear. She sat in the middle and spoke. “BE patient with self and others, share, do not judge, be loving.” “While you sleep I’ll entangle the dreams that would harm you and show the good dreams the way through to help you find the Seventh Direction; the Teacher Within.” The Spider then began to glow, transforming herself into a clear crystal.

Many years ago when I first began making dream catchers My Guide would tell me which vines to gather, what to give back.
She would gently each prayer to speak into the weave, each crystal to hang, each medicine bag, shell or other item to place.
For many years I wove, decorated and listened to her step by step instructions.
One day as I sat weaving I didn’t hear her instructions and asked why she was not telling me what to pray into each knot. She told me that now I knew from deep within my own Seventh Direction what to weave. I also didn’t hear her as I added beads, feathers, crystals and medicine bags. Once again I asked why and her reply was the same as before.
My intention with each dream catcher I weave, pray into and decorate is that you too will find your Seventh Direction.
