I've had some great and spiritual experiences w/ psilocybin and LSD in the past, never had Peyote tho. I've heard it's quite intense.

I am a fan of mescaline. Your use is likely more religious than mine, but I feel as though I peak behind the cosmic curtain… so.. close?

I view it as a medicine that remedies the effects of generational trauma. It allows us to embrace our identity again. That’s just how I feel

That bead work is kind-boggling.

My husband makes these fans, they take an enormous amount of work. Love the beaded grandfather on the handle!

Brilliant work! Do you have any images/videos of the process? And how do you source the materials? Did you collect the feathers yourself?

3 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 0

My dad requested these feathers from the National Eagle Repository. Most of the other materials I bought from local native businesses.

Cool! I had no idea there *was* a National Eagle Repository. Thanks for the info.

Stories? That's pretty cool!

3 years ago | Likes 6 Dislikes 0

She unfortunately passed away before me or my parents were ever born, so we don't have many stories about her. It's also been hard to find/1

3 years ago | Likes 6 Dislikes 0

But her name was Tatzumbia Dupea, and she was credited for acting in both Buffalo Bill and Across the Wide Missouri. She was the oldest /2

No..my legal name does start with a j though. I was adopted when I was 8.

It's gorgeous. Can you explain what it's used for? I know what peyote is but I thought you smoked it.

You're thinking of opium

3 years ago | Likes 7 Dislikes 0

I'd love to know too.

3 years ago | Likes 12 Dislikes 0

That beadwork technique is also called peyote. Peyote stitch, specifically. Easy to do, if you know how.

3 years ago | Likes 5 Dislikes 0

I’ve never seen anyone smoke peyote in my whole life, it’s always been eaten. This fan is used during peyote ceremonies at certain times.

Is the peyote tea thing just from movies and stuff or is that legitimate?

3 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Yes you’re able to make tea as well. That’s very common and easier to keep down for most people.

3 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

It’s a spiritual tool/instrument to help our prayers and songs to manifest into something physical so we can approach someone in a good way.

3 years ago | Likes 197 Dislikes 1

Thank you! Also I don't know anything about peyote other than that it has psychotropic abilities.

3 years ago | Likes 25 Dislikes 0

Hey Hansel, haven't you been smoking peyote...

3 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 1

Thank you for the explanation. This cleared away some misinformation/misinterpretations I had, and I'm assuming for others as well.

3 years ago | Likes 80 Dislikes 0

What? Who smokes peyote...

3 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 3

white kids at burning man, probably.

3 years ago | Likes 6 Dislikes 0

But why? It's meant to be ingested, like mushrooms

3 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 0

As the comment said… white people. That’s not racist btw. Just a very precise way of understanding appropriation.

3 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

The better association is the ignorant. Unfortunately that directly correlates with white people (which I am)
