Didn't help the eagle either....

I don't belive in that garbage! I believe in the Lord. What you belive I. Is witchcraft

Grew up around that garbage. Stay away from it. Silly women follow that stuff. Jesus is the answer and Saviour of mankind. I thought about that a lot when we experienced a two year drought here in Texas. Animals were so sick and hardly any yearlings.
You can think you know everything about hunting and trapping, but only God brings the increase.
Romans 1:22-25
22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,

23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.

24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:

25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.

Eagle referenced multiple times in the good book

Jesus was also referred as the "door"
No wood or brass, brother.
Just symbolic
Nothing more relatable to mankind than something we can all understand. Bible always comes back to the Saviour. Never the worship of creation.

Romans 1:20 states, "For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse".

Nothing proves God existence better than his handiwork. Not disagreeing with you, brother. Respectfully, I don't know what you believe

I don’t worship these items, I like what the symbolism in early American Indian culture.

West coast tribes,,,,, the otter is symbolic of loyalty and honesty.
Columbia and Alaskan coast,,, the land otter is associated with death and drowning.

Looks like a Rough Rider .22

I do believe there is black magic.

The bible talks off sorcerers……

Yep, there a lot beyond our understanding. The invisible world is an interesting thing . The more I dive deep into my own religion the more I understand that well stuff gets wild plain and simple.

Heck king Solomon enslaved demons to build a temple

Moses had a staff that could turn into a snakes.

All these preacher talking about witches invading the church

Throw in some stuff when you start dealing with psychedelics

And let's no get started about the practices of the worshipers of bhall and all the other pagen gods back in the gap in the old testament

" stuff gets wild, plain and simple"

Couldn't agree more.
IMHO what we think about something gives it power.. So thankfully if you just find something fascinating, your not in mortal danger. But because some people are simple, I could never just have a "dreamcatcher" hanging on my wall. No matter how beautiful they are.
There are lines we can cross that will create spiritual problems. What that is, idk. I only know how messed up I was before getting right with God.

it didn't seem to work out well for the natives. gun powder, biological war, and killing off the Buffalo won out.

So!

Wi Outside yankee …. It’s a 45 long colt boy

It appears to be a 3rd generation Colt SAA with a 4 5/8 inch pipe too.

Lol.

Christianity is certainly a good way to live your life but there also is something to be said for the rituals and practices of peoples who lived LONG before it. They are not to be demonized. Shintoism in particular has always fascinated me and makes so much sense because I love the natural world around me. From little pebbles to crystal streams. There HAS to be some spirituality there

Yes God created the little pebbles and streams - part of creation - reference Genesis.

That means you sir are a true redneck beaver trapper that understands the value of castor for its use and are too tight to buy a lure in a jar. I understand and relate.
