Amulet purses, amulet bags or medicine bags, talismen, mojo and juju have been used for centuries by people of all cultures. Ancient healers, witch doctors, medicine men and native peoples of all religions carried herbs, charms and scriptures thought to protect them or to aid them in attracting good. The bags themselves are mystical and mysterious.

Each bag is a spiritual vessel. Use yours to carry sacred scripture, lucky charms, healing stones, or photo of a person you wish to keep in your thoughts--the options are yours.

Excluding the 30 inch long neckstrap and the fringe, each bag measures about 2 inches square and each is individually designed and hand crafted using over 2,000 seed beads and various other beads, seeds and trinkets. Each requires over 24 hours to create.
