The unique properties of deer antler is it's strong yet pliable, allowing for fine lines and delicate patterns to be carved into it with precision. Plus, the texture and color variations in the antler add a whole other dimension to the finished pieces. It's like nature's own canvas! And not only is it beautiful, but using deer antler for carving is also sustainable and eco-friendly since no animals are harmed in the process.
Owl (Muhukwi): Owls can see what others cannot and this is a large part of Owl (Muhukwi) medicine. Owl’s ability to do this reminds us of the importance of both worlds: the physical as well as the spiritual, perhaps the known and the unknown. Our willingness and courage to transform the unknown in ourselves into the known is a true source of wisdom. The Zuni Pueblo people call the owl “the Night Grandfather” because he does his work at night. Clairvoyant properties and uncovering deception have always been associated with Owl. Its connection with wisdom comes from Owl’s ability to discern that which cannot be “seen.”
