MedicineWare™ Shield
Medicine shields were used by indigenous cultures to represent aspects of a person’s life purpose (medicine) — what we’ve come here to do. These round circles with stretched skins, feathers, stones and symbols, protected and empowered the bearer. Each tribal member had their own personal shield that reflected their medicine as revealed to them through the vision quest or shamanic journey.
MedicineWare™ shields represent a modern interpretation of the traditional Native American Indian medicine shield. Stones are selected to amplify the energies of the theme expressed in the shield’s name. Each shield is a unique, one-of-a-kind creation conceived through a journey state undertaken by Amari Magdalena (Wind Dancer). Amari is a practicing Shaman and Founding Director of the Institute for Shamanic Synthesis. She studied and apprenticed with Toltec, Celtic, Cherokee and Curanderismo healers.

MedicineWare™ Photography
Looking through micro and macro lenses, Amari attempts to capture ‘slices’ of beauty that reflect color, form, light, and nature in all of her magnificence. She loves to catch flowers as they unfold. Amari finds wonder in ancient ruins which reflect those who came before. Pieces of sculpture attract her attention as it allows a particular focus and angle that appeal. The vast majority of her photography is done outdoors though occasionally she will be drawn to a play of light on a wall or streaming through a window. All of the photographic images on this website are works of Amari Magdalena.
MedicineWare™ Mandala
The Mandala symbolizes the circle of life to indigenous tribes. From intricate Buddhist sand mandalas to Native American mandalas with wool, feathers, leather and beeds, this art form has a dual purpose: beauty and protection. By having a Mandella in their homes, it would bring prosperity, good health and ultimate happiness. Initially used as a war shield, the modern Mandella symbolizes good luck – all within the circle of life. The mandella is believed to protect the dwelling from untoward spirits.
MedicineWare mandalas represent a modern interpretation of the traditional Native American Mandella. Stones are selected to amplify the wheel represented in the Mandella’s name. each Mandella is a unique, one-of-a-kind, creation.
