CEREMONIAL ITEMS
Smudge Fans and Medicine Pieces
I love the creative process, and working with natural elements is especially meaningful to me. Once or twice a year I make batches of smudge fans and medicine pieces. I allow the feathers, fur, crystals and other elements to speak to me and determine which pieces want to be paired together in unique combination. They are made with love, reverence and with the intention of supporting you powerfully.
Items are sold on a first-come first-served basis. Because I do this so infrequently, it takes too much time to set up automatic pricing and payment, so contact me right away to ensure you reserve the one(s) you want. Then we'll discuss payment and shipping or pick-up.
NOTE: If you live in the Kansas City area, I highly encourage you to consider picking up your medicine piece as it will save on shipping. To ensure I have enough packing material to protect these delicate treasures, and because some of them are long (thus larger boxes), shipping can get substantial. I often have to build a box and try to keep the shipping box as small as possible while still providing a good buffer on all sides of the piece. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions!

'Absolutely Stunning'
"The fans arrived today. The photos do not do them justice. They are absolutely stunning! So powerful I could feel them through the box. I feel truly blessed to have received them. A deep bow of gratitude for your inspired work."
~ Laura Kuykendall
'A Natural Extension of Me'
"The medicine fan I received from Stephanie had the feel that it was crafted just for me. When I used it in ceremony for the first time it felt like it was a natural extension of me for doing clearing work. A very powerful medicine tool that I now have the honor of caretaking. Such beautiful medicine."
~ Keith Caplin

This one definitely feels like ancestor medicine. Though it may seem a bit macabre, it is a powerhouse of a piece. Cow vertebrae with a Vulture claw. All of the beaded dangles are bones, teeth, or tribal, earthy elements. Plus 3 quartz crystals and little citrine points. Shazam!

This one is so cool! I love it when unusual elements come together and this pheasant wing fit perfectly with this turkey leg. The leg is actually "soft"(not scaly) and feels comfortable to hold. "Pearl" heart detail and rabbit fur set off this stunner.

Pa-Pow! This unique medicine staff is made from beaver-chewed wood with a turtle shell as centerpiece. The beaded detailing is spectacular and the blue feathers make this a stand-out piece. (Beading is only on the front.) The wishbone takes it to a whole 'nother level!
