Fin Trinity’s a blessing true
For all the things you wish to do
For fish are spirits of the deep
Where Mother Nature’s dreams do sleep.
Her life’s blood water harbours there
The bounty meant for all to share.

Spirit Catcher's Story

According to the Ojibway, there were seven original Clans, the third of which was named the Fish Clan. It was composed of the intellectuals who were known for their constant pursuit of knowledge and their practice of meditation. These peoples were sometimes called 'star gazers' for their ability to go beyond the surface of the mind and become 'deep thinkers'.

The Ojibway assigned each of these Clans a unique function to assist the people as a whole. If a deciding vote needed to be cast. The Fish Clan members were the arbitrators who would settle disputes between two Chief Clans

The three fish in this Catcher represent the need for balance and harmony without taking sides. The fish has also been the western world’s symbol for abundance ever since biblical times.

The Chi

The energy of this Spirit Catcher addresses the need for balance between the natural world and the everyday human world. Water is the very lifeblood of the planet and the aspect of it through the spirit of the fish brings peace and harmony to the garden.

Here the tranquility engendered by these 'Water Beings' brings prosperity to the garden and thus also to the gardener who is steward of this special gardening space.
