Brother Fox Amulet Bag
Evidence of amulet bags, medicine bags and other sacred vessels are scattered throughout several ancient cultures, including but not limited to Egypt, Africa and right here in North America. In Africa, gris-gris bags containing a myriad of talismans and amulets were imbued with voodoo magic and worn as protection from evil or to bring good luck.
Egyptians superstitiously carried scrolls inscribed with magiciansâ spells and enclosed in metal capsules to bring good fortune for themselves or to curse someone who had wronged them. Beaded Native American amulet bags and soft leather medicine pouches are probably the most commonly recognized by our modern culture and are still used today.
Brother Fox amulet bag is inspired by and represents the red fox hunting under a moonlit sky. In Native American culture, he is attributed with the qualities of great wisdom and intelligence. As a totem animal, he possesses the feminine magic of camouflage, shapeshifting and invisibility. Itâs no wonder the fox is acclaimed for these traits, as he is a cunning, agile, nocturnal hunter. Moving with light-footed grace through the magical hours between dusk and dawn, Brother Fox stirs the imagination and invites us to believe in things unseen.
