Come and weave your intentions into your own handmade dreamcatcher to aid peaceful sleep.

Dream catchers originate from the Native American Spider web charms to protect a person from bad dreams and negative energy while they sleep.

Alternate Ojibwe Legend
“A grandmother watched patiently each day as a spider spun his web above her sleeping place until one day her grandson noticed the spider and tried to K*ll it”.
“Don’t hurt him,” she told the boy in a soft tone, surprising him.
“But grandmother, you should not protect this spider.”
When the grandson left, the spider thanked the woman for her protection and offered her a gift. “I will spin you a web that hangs between you and the moon so that when you dream, it will snare the bad thoughts and keep them from you.”
At this, grandmother smiled and continued to watch the spider spin his web.”

These beautiful, protective talismans are traditionally hung over beds and cots and can be mindfully woven with carefully chosen feathers, beads and gemstones in colours of your choice.
