Medicine Horn
The Medicine Horn is a dagger, a rattle, and a medicine vessel. It is intended for the warrior who chooses the long and arduous journey of self discovery. When traveling light, alone, and into uncharted realms, the Medicine Horn is essential. It is used to create a magical circle of sacred space from the contents carried within the sheath. The dagger is most effective when used in tight configurations of warfare, when discretion, brutal honesty, and intimate self-reflection is called upon. The rattle in the dagger is used to awaken our subtle inner voices, soliciting their knowledge so that we may relinquish the beliefs that no longer serve us.
