Satan and Suns

Mag nificent! The claw necklace s small, but amazing. The bone beads are all matched perfectly, a good size, and nicely finished. I will certainly buy again. The silver needle is bigger than I wanted, but otherwise perfect. I wanted a sewing needle and it is close to a yarn needle. It is handmade, so I understand why it is larger. It is useable for what I want, so no problems. Yay!! The bonus beads are irregular shaped mammoth bone.

You went on a shopping spree? I'm a bit jealous of that claw necklace

I like the necklace too. Where did you get your necklace from.

Very cool SH, I really like the needle there. I should really consider getting myself a few bones....oh well, someday

Aww... forgive my unhappiness; I’m always sad to see animal bones. How were they sourced?

They were hunted for, Loka. All living things die. In Siberia, where these things come from, it is hunt or die. I am glad to give my money to those who need it for these things, and I know they use the entire animal. In Siberia, there are not many things you can make a living on other than this. The natives revere the animals, and they are a part of their magick and lives. I have human bones for my demons, too. Mutilation Surgeon Kodiak likes human bones that have been healed or deformed, and pictures of surgical repairs to bones as offerings. I get these things for the energy, and I can actually feel the spirit of the animals. They are part of my higher, non-physical DNA forever!

The things are gotten at Siberianative on Etsy. the claw necklace is one of a few left.

The claw necklace is super. The whole thing is amazing. I know some folks have strong feelings about hunting, as do I, but the Russians have been hunting fur bearing animals for thousands of years. Their bones are an integral part of Siberian shamanism. Do they have bird skulls by any chance?

Well that’s why I asked, to make sure it wasn’t just a fur farm or something. I had to wonder why it was predator bones versus the normal things someone would eat. Do they eat lynx and wolverine?
Btw I’m not stupid so the ”all living things die” was uncalled for. All I needed was more context to distinguish exploitation from sustainability.

Loka, I apologize! :p Some folks do not think humans are animals, much less the predators we are. They think we can opt out of the cycle of life just because we have a mind. So, I was not talking down to you, I just wanted to see where you were at, and if I was dealing with a vegan with no tolerance for meat eaters of any kind. I apologize if I seemed to be talking down to you. The fact is: if you eat a carrot, you have killed something very sacred, and a lot of vegans act like they are better because they only kill a plant. I have even been yelled at by meat-eaters because I said the auras of vegetarians are clearer and stronger to me than the aura of a meat eater (yes, they ARE, and I do not know why). So, this is a tricky topic to be sure. Yes, the Siberians eat EVERYTHING. I myself came from a coal-mining family in the Appalachians of West Virginia. I have eaten bear, deer, rabbit, squirrel, groundhog, raccoon, dove, pidgeon, and wild turkey. We used and ate everything, although I admit that I have eaten horse, lion, and other exotics out of curiosity, and as a sacred meal, to share in the energy and spirit of an animal. I am glad you care that these things were not farmed and the animals tortured to death, like the fox fur industry! I do respect animals, and I draw the line at lots of things.
