Join Djuro and special guest Lakota elder Mr. Charging Crow for a full day workshop to create your own eagle or hawk fetish carving pendant necklace. Mr. Charging Crow is a traditional Lakota carver, and you will learn the meaning of the fetish to the Sioux Nation and how to tap into the energy of the stone to determine which animal to carve.

The workshop will begin with ceremony and song to connect you with your spirit guides. As you begin carving, the first layer of the stone's surface is removed and the animal Spirit’s natural form is revealed. You'll be guided through his traditional practices to complete your own fetish carving pendant. Once the pendant is complete you'll have the opportunity to design your necklace with crystal beads and a clasp. All tools, supplies, materials, and light snacks provided. No experience necessary. Class is limited to 16 participants.

Included:

Tools provided - files, saws, rasps, sandpaper Supplies - gloves, mask, eye protection

Materials - traditional North American carving stone, high quality crystal beads, and sinew thread

Light snacks will be provided. Please bring a bag lunch.

"One day I dreamed a wonderful dream. Great-Grandma appeared to me. She had a handkerchief tied to a rope with 15 knots. She took them off and showed they were vertebrae shaped like a buffalo, and she told me I needed to carve one. It was a spiritual animal she used for good luck. That day I carved my first buffalo out of alabaster with good intentions." —Delbert Charging Crow Location: Angelic Roots, 8612 S Market Pl, Oak Creek, WI 53154
