Where do Dream catchers come from?
The dream catcher comes from the American Indian culture and comes from several legends born in different tribes. Specifically, the very first Dreamcatchers are associated with the Ojibwe people, an indigenous people spread between the United States 🇺🇸 and Canada. 🇨🇦
According to legends, the families of the tribe were protected by a spider woman who answered to the name of "Asibikaashi". 🕷️ Considered a protective goddess, she wove webs where the tribe resided to protect them from evil spirits during their sleep.
Over time, the tribe grew and the spider woman was no longer able to protect all the families. As a result, she asked the women of the tribe to make the spider's web out of cloth and hang it on a wooden ring. 🕸️
The first dream catchers that were made were hung over the beds of newborns and young children to protect them. This is how the dreamcatcher was born. Then, It was popularized by other tribes and has crossed the years and centuries until today to become a real decorative object with strong symbolism.
