To free both hands for the initial tying, clamp the twig between your knees with the ends uppermost. Tie a knot around the two twig ends. Allow a 6" tail to remain.
Tie a second knot on top of the first (without going around the twig).
Tie a "half hitch" around the twigs by making a loop and passing around the twig and back through the loop.
Now tie a half-hitch around the KNOT with the shuttle thread by making a loop above the knot, passing down between the twigs toward the center of the ring, up between the twigs, and through the loop. Pull the half hitch tight with a snap of the wrist.
Tie both threads together and pass the tail down between the twigs, around the knot, and back up between the twigs. Cut off the tail close to the twig. Pass the shuttle thread down between the twigs and pull it back against the knot. Keep the thread against the knot as you begin the next step. Your first loop on the twig will pull the thread against the knot. Lay the thread over the twig so that it spills over the edge like a waterfall, and bring the shuttle up between the wood and thread. This is a self-locking loop. Always come up behind the point where you went over the ring. You will need to adjust the distance between the points. using one of the templates below and on the next page. Accuracy here is important so that the hidden multiple spiral geometry can appear in your dream catcher. To avoid a very large gap at the top of your dreamcatcher your last loop (#10) should be placed only half the distance away from the beginning point (#1). All other loops should be about the same distance apart. Don't worry about this part, just use the template for now. IF YOU WEAVE COUNTER CLOCKWISE TO THE LEFT IT WILL LOOK LIKE THE IMAGE BELOW
IF YOU WEAVE CLOCKWISE TO THE LEFT IT WILL LOOK LIKE THE IMAGE BELOW
IT DOESN’T MAKE ANY DIFFERENCE WHICH TEMPLATE YOU CHOOSE. EACH IS THE MIRROR OF THE OTHER. IF YOU ARE WEAVING TO THE LEFT TURN YOUR DREAM CATCHER OVER AND IT WILL LOOK LIKE THIS ONE WHEN YOU ARE FINISHED. YOU CAN USE THIS AS A TEMPLATE TO GUIDE YOUR SPACING OF THE WEAVING. DID YOU NOTICE POINT #8 IS MISSING IN THE TEMPLATE ABOVE? GOOD! PAY ATTENTION TO THE DETAILS AS WELL AS THE UNFOLDING PATTERNS AND YOU WILL DO WELL. AND YOUR LIFE WILL BE MORE SUCCESSFUL, FUN AND SATISFYING! back←Weaving the Mid-point Dream-Catcher →next
White Eagle Soaring: Dream Dancer of the 7th Fire
This is a crazy world. What can be done? Amazingly, we have been mislead. We have been taught that we can control government by voting. The founder of the Rothschild dynasty, Mayer Amschel Bauer, told the secret of controlling the government of a nation over 200 years ago. He said, "Permit me to issue and control the money of a nation and I care not who makes its laws." Get the picture? Your freedom hinges first on the nation's banks and money system. That's why we advocate using the Liberty Dollar, to change the monetary and banking system. Freedom is connected with Debt Elimination for each individual.
