What are Zuni Fetishes?
Zuni Fetishes are an animal, bird or figure hand carved from
stone, shell, antler, wood or other natural materials. Zuni Fetishes were
first carved as "hunting" fetishes. When taken on a hunting expedition
they would ensure a plentiful and successful hunt. Each fetish is believed
to have a spirit within. If treated and taken care of properly Zuni fetishes
will help guide you on the right path of life. When you purchase or are
given a Zuni fetish it is your responsibility to care for and treat it
with the proper respect it deserves. Fetishes are believed to feed on cornmeal,
so don't neglect to feed your fetish. "Offerings" are often attached to
the fetish by the artist, however you may make your own "offering" to your
fetish by attaching a small stone or feather adornment. It will be greatly
appreciated and you will be rewarded with the healing or strength you desire.
We cannot guarantee that a fetish carving will change your life, but in
our many years of experience we have seen astonishing changes in peoples
lives as a result of their belief in the power of the fetish. Our fetishes
are Zuni carved unless otherwise noted, out of a variety of stone and shell.
Prices will vary depending on detail, artist and the medium used.
Prized for their "down to earth" beauty and spiritual
renewal, fetishes have long been an important part of Native American culture.
When a fetish maker prays over his created work, a mystical power is believed
to be released which can assist him in finding a solution to his present
problems. All Southwestern tribes make and use fetishes. However, the Zuni
people have developed a reputation for being skillful carvers. There are
six cardinal guardian fetishes which are symbolic of the six directions.
The first is a mountain lion which represents the North. The South belongs
to the badger, the West to the bear, while the East goes to the wolf. Additionally,
the mole guards the inner earth, while the eagle protects the heavenly
regions.
