Thoughts on bone and antler dread beads?
Dread Accessories
I'm in between. I am a vegetarian, but I really want to learn how to hunt. For my own spiritual reasons, I don't eat meat, but I would if I hunted my own food.
That being said, I love Native American cultures. I try to follow their beliefs as much as I can, but I don't know about this one. I agree that it is a homage to the animal that died for you, but is it really correct to adorn yourself, for beauty, in the remains of the dead?
A friend of mine who hunts on the regular, always makes two trips to the same spot. Once to hunt and clean the animal, and then again later on to bury the skull. I always liked his methods. But then again, While learning to hunt, I want to learn to tan as well. Would making clothes from the hides of animals that are functional, rather than for looks, make me a hypocrite?
Thanks for the discussion.
