Genuine Buffalo Tooth

 

 Buffalo medicine signals a moment to reconnect with the meaning of life and the value of peace, to praise the gifts you already have, and to recognize and honor the sacredness in all paths, though they may be different than yours. It is also knowing that abundance is present when all relations are honored as sacred, and when gratitude is expressed to every living part of Creation. It symbolizes an honor, reverence or special love for all the things that Mother Earth offers her children. Buffalo teeth are talisman charms carried or worn for strength, stamina and to remind us of what the Buffalo teaches.
