Handmade animal carvings (those made by the Zuni Pueblo people of New Mexico) are called Zuni Fetish Carvings. These Zuni fetishes have been with us since before recorded history.  Zuni Fetishes are used by shaman to heal the sick and dying. They are carried by travelers to help assure safe passage. In general, Zuni fetishes are meant to bring their owners good fortune and prosperity.

Many people believe that living creatures have a spirit. The Zuni believe that these spirits transition from one form to another. That they reside in our natural world while waiting for new life.  It is the form they take in rock while waiting that interests us here.  The best Zuni Fetish carvers can see these spirits and carve the rock in such a way as to release the spirit from the host stone.

Sometimes the spirit is so clearly visible in the rock that anyone can see it and that is called a concretion. 

The Zuni people believe the spirit of the animal and its power (its strength, cunning, vision and other properties as well) can become theirs by exchanging breath with the stone carving. Exhaling into its mouth and drawing in breath from the mouth of the carving. It is through this process that the owner can have the strength of a bear, the vision of an eagle, the power of a mountain lion… 

It is through these beliefs and the Zuni desire to pay respect to nature that beauty is born. Come join us on our journey. We wish to share, understand and respect this aspect of the Zuni culture. To enjoy the many beautiful forms in which a Zuni Fetish can take. 

Sedonawolf was among the first online to feature high quality Zuni Fetishes.  We were fascinated by these beautiful carvings and the culture that made them.  As a result, in 1996 we created Sedonawolf.com to share this with the world.
