You will find fetishes everywhere in the world. These figures are animals, birds, reptiles or winged ones that are carved in a particular form to represent that individual energy. They are the archetype, symbolically speaking. It is believed that by creating the shape the spirit of that animal or bird will come to the person as a teacher and guide. Many people like to wear or carry a fetish because it feels good to them; whether they realize the true purpose behind them or not.

This good feeling has to do with the quality and energy of the gemstone from which the figure is carved. Fetishes can be used as jewelry. Or, they can be used in a more sacred way, meditating with it in your left hand (left hand draws energy into your aura), meditating with it in you right hand (the right hand dispenses the energy out to the world).

If you are drawn to have a fetish, then the easiest way to answer this question is: What is your favorite animal, bird, reptile or insect? It's that easy. What ever is your favorite, that is the one you should carry on you.
