I've always loved shamrocks and have a shamrock tattoo. I love the story of St. Patrick and how he utilized the shamrock to depict the Trinity.

Horrible band, but the heartagram has been one of my favorites, mainly just that it looks cool, I never tried to use it for energy though.

I was looking though some sites when I noticed a comment about the bone or bone carved choker or necklace this one is the apache choker in the picture potsed, I seems to be seen as evil by a few Africans, then I saw that interrelations had been changed form earth water fire and air to mother earth, I have the original interpretations and symbolic meanings.
It is also believed that the spirit will also provide you great speaking ability when wearing a properly made bone choker and cause one to speak from the heart. During tribal meetings, almost all present who would speak would wear a Bone Choker believing that the choker would give them the power to speak from the heart about what needed to be said. It might be said that the saying, "he speaks with forked tongue," was made by one who either did not wear a bone choker or the bone choker worn was not made in the right manner, by the right experts or contain the proper spiritual power to provide the speaker the ability to speak from the heart.
Specific specialists in each tribe generally made various types of bone chokers. Many Native Americans had dreams about a certain type of bone choker and then have their tribe's specialist make it for them. Most of the bone choker makers were helpers to the great medicine men and other times, they were the medicine men themselves. Rarely would a Native American make his or her own bone choker as it required the specialist so the bone choker would have the great spiritual power.

The bone carved bear tooth necklace worn by the Indian brave. Firstly it is not for the symbolisation if the devil, it made for plastic, neither is it made for perplexed man fabricated, nether is it wood, it is an Indian design for the brave/warrior predominately worn by men, made of, real bone carved pieces and symbolises strength as the bear is embodied as a sign of strength, I wanted to particular point out that it is not a pagan symbol as Paganism dose not comes from the America(s) Indians, nothing to do with invoking the devil as the crazy chick round the way keeps saying, it is also not a symbol of god more like strength in man, further more and by saying this I don't mean to make a wave just to exonerate myself of trafficking with the devil, also ''your being like an American'' is not even close to wear I am from so as to speak, this is from an indigenous American beliefs, not being accessing but a lot of people living in England practise a faith that comes for the middle east , that being Christianity which is wear it was born in the middle east , I am not tying to offend you but this is religion not a subculture like you can all get in on, it is a religion that requires considerable amount self understanding of the spirit and the spiritual realm, to allow yourself to follow' one would have to accept an unconventional religious teaching of spiritual natural doctrines where by to follow some subcultures all a person would have to do is not how to practise a certain amount of crime however with this I will be required that you pray , wearing this symbol needs that I PRAY to the Great Spirit, to the one true creator force of the universe , god I you will but noooo devil to pray to though there are forms of spiritual magic.
Note though a lot of bone carved chokers and necklaces are real, not all bone carved chokers and necklaces direct matters heritage, example some are carved in the 20th century and have the same spiritual meaning , it is against tribal and federal law for an outsiders to sell or keep sacred bungles, saying that the US government brake that law by keep Indian symbols of spirituality, in the United Kingdom however last year the Scottish museum council agreed to return what Indian pieces they had predating the 19th century

The laughing Buddha because he gets the cosmic joke lol.
The dual nature of Mata Kali and Mata Durga. Both mothers in their own way. Both strong, protective and "fierce." Of course Lord Shiva just chillin in the corner.
To me that speaks of what God and Hinduism represents for me. Very personal, protective and nurturing. But also laid back and sort of "go with the flow."
The eternal battle of good and "evil" Okay, it also looks cool
Baby Krishna because......d'aww look at the little baby Krishna. So cute!!!
