“Prayer flags are gentle reminders, bringing us back to our essence and helping us to open our hearts and minds. When we hang prayer flags, we create the intention for more kindness for ourselves and all beings. As they wave in the wind, prayer flags lift up and carry our wishes for compassion, peace and healing around the earth.” Ten, 6”x 8”, colorful 100% cotton flags on a 7 ft. cord with Animal Friends design.

ANIMAL FRIENDS - All Animals being part of nature have an important role in the balance of American Indian life. From the smallest insect to the mighty Buffalo, they all receive the same respect. Turtles symbolize new life, the bear a symbol of strength; the rabbit for swiftness, the deer is gentleness, birds to induce rain, butterflies mean happiness, the fish represent the water creatures of the earth and the cougar cat is as unpredictable as the seasons. Animals are often honored in the forms of artwork on pottery; in ceremonial dances and as little good luck charms called fetishes. The Handprint represents Woman and Man.
