Indian Earth

     Indian Earth is a custom design created by myself that takes the traditional Native American choker and adds a new twist! Made of the highest grade bone hairpipe beads, splattered with golden specks, both in 1 1/2″ and 1/2″ lengths; my own special design gemstone rock hairpipe beads (consisting of 20 gauge bare Copper wire used for coil base; 28 gauge copper wire used for wrapping; Tiger-eye gemstone chips; Picture Jasper gemstone chips; my own custom mixture of Czech Glass seed beads); Bone spacers; large custom hand-crafted Elkhorn button focal piece; natural white-tailed deerskin leather ties; 28 gauge bare Copper wire for stringing. A powerful, magnificent piece to behold!

     Please Note: The image shown here has a very special Elkhorn button as the centerpiece, it is actually petrified bone and one-of-a-kind. This button was made by my brother TimberWolf, who makes all of my Elkhorn buttons and carved bone pieces. We have not been able to find more petrified bone as yet, so this specific choker which is already spoken for, is unique. All chokers of this design which are made for sale have a regular Elkhorn button (You can see more images in my gallery HERE. See the last image in the gallery for sample.) which are extremely beautiful as well and very well received by all that have purchased them.

     In any of the pieces that I offer for custom order, you can customize it with different stones and/or combination of stones, all you have to do is have a conversation with me (spiritfoxy@startiste.com) or notate it on your order form during the checkout procedure in the notes section and I will be more than happy to customize to fit your needs. This particular choker can be made with black bone (a favorite of the men) as well as Turquoise dyed bone (a favorite of the women *smile*). The Elkhorn buttons are not available dyed, though I do stain them dark for the black bone chokers.

     All my jewelry pieces are called “Spirit Jewelry” for a reason. They are made with this in mind, the health, protection, and well being of the wearer. All pieces are purified before shipping as well.

Akasha? What is that?

© Frank Howell - "Dakota Visions"

     

     What is “Akasha” someone has asked me… How to answer this question in a way for one to understand… In regular terms, “Akasha” is the “fifth element”, the element that is unseen that brings the four physical elements together and binds them into one cohesive unit. But in actuality, it is much more than that, as some who have traveled its path have come to understand. Here is my answer, hoping in humility that it makes sense…

     There is a saying that a vast amount of people quote as well as live their life by, which is a very good thing, and it goes like this:

Inspired by Air…
Forged by Fire…
Tempered by Water…
Grounded by Earth…
Guided by Spirit…

     These are the five elements working in tandem. I am going to take it a bit further in order to explain this element:

Inspired by the AIR that we breathe
Forged by the FIRE in our souls
Tempered by the life giving WATER
Grounded by the EARTH beneath our feet
Guided by the SPIRIT within & around us all

     What is true Akasha? A peace with all of existence and a love of all existence – past, present and future. It is timeless and exists in and outside of time and space.

     This is at best a very simplistic explanation. I would love to open up a discussion dialogue regarding this or similar subjects, so feel free to comment and add in your points of view, questions, thoughts, musings, you get the idea *smile*. And to the very special person that asked for an explanation, I hope this helps at least in some small way…
