Medicine Shield: Inspiration: To the Native Americans, Medicine Shields are sacred circles, protective covers, mirrors that reflect health and healing, and connections to the Great Spirit. Medicine Shields were made of Buffalo rawhide, but today's ceremonial Medicine Shields are made with tanned skins and decorated to embody the Nine Directions and Four Elements. Each sacred circle is a tangible meditation that holds a whisper of who you are through the realization of your medicine and your connection to the World of Spirit.
