Native American Protection Symbol
Native American Indians were a deeply spiritual people and they communicated their history, thoughts, ideas and dreams from generation to generation through symbols. Native American symbols are generally geometric portrayals of celestial bodies, natural phenomena and animal designs. The Protection symbol is depicted as two arrows within a circle. The weapons were symbols of the major form of defense for the American Native Indian and the circle was another powerful symbol. A circle around another Native American symbol signifies family ties, closeness & protection. The circle has no break and cannot be broken. The black center circle depicts the air symbol which represents life.

As I know it, native American spiritually is really closed culture. Please don’t advocate for the appropriation of native spirituality

One of my early mentors was Cherokee and he never told me I couldn’t share what he had taught me. I understand your conviction to refrain from incorporating Native practices into your spiritual path, and respect that, but it’s not a conflict for me personally.

Hey, a lot of native practice is closed culture. It’s not ok to advocate for the appropriation of native spirituality

The info I posted is public to my knowledge and is not “closed culture.” In my personal practice I use a little Native American spirituality but do so with immense respect and reverence. For me, it’s no different that using Celtic or Norse or Middle Eastern magic. We all borrow from many cultures who have adapted and drawn inspiration for other cultures as well. For example, I’m of German ancestry but have always felt drawn to Brigid. Blessings!
