Purchase options and add-ons

The Zuni have traditionally used small stone carvings of animal figures as power objects and mediators between themselves and the spirit world. Any object that has special meaning can be used as a fetish. In this fascinating, informative, and beautifully illustrated guide to the fetishes of the Zuni people of New Mexico, Hal Zina Bennett explores key principles of Native American spirituality and how early Zuni teachings can benefit us all today. He provides an excellent guide to Zuni traditions and an intriguing picture of their early life, along with detailed instructions for using fetishes for mediation, reflection, and insight in modern life. He describes key fetish figures, including the Guardian of the Six Regions, their legendary meanings, and the personal qualities each figure can support and help its owner develop.

In explaining the nature of fetishes and the psychological and spiritual benefits that we can gain from their use, Bennett provides illuminating cross-cultural comparisons, stimulating exercises, and journaling opportunities.

5.0 out of 5 stars Interesting book!

I have a small collection of Zuni carvings and I really enjoyed this book. The author approaches the subject from a spiritual perspective which I appreciated, and also shares some history and stories of the Zuni people. I sometimes choose stones or carvings to meditate with, and he has a section on meditating with the carvings which was very useful to me. Might be too “woo” for some but it was right up my alley.

This book contained all the details I was looking for! It does not have color pictures or examples like I hoped for. There are only drawings. This is fine but it would have been nicer with colored pictures of the carvings. The cover art is fantastic!
I recommend this book to people who want to find out information on the Zuni people and carvings.

3.0 out of 5 stars Pop anthropology fun or colonizer appropriation? A little of each, 90s style
Reviewed in the United States on January 12, 2019
As the subtitle, "Using Native American Objects for Meditation, Reflection, and Insight" reveals, this is not a collector's or student's guide to collecting and learning about the small, mostly stone, animal carvings known as Zuni fetishes, but a layperson's guide to incorporating them into a non-Native lifestyle. There is some coverage of Zuni history and practices, and some text that I am not in a position to evaluate as to its authenticity. There are also some definitely contemporary suggestions, like using a journal to record or enhance your journey.

It can be a fun read, and the chapters are divided into subsections, with headings, so it's easily digested and can be picked up and put down. There is a lot of white space, so if you are a doodler or a note-taker, this might be just the book for you.

If you are looking for a "serious" work, with photographs, family trees, historical info, this isn't that. But if you want something accessible and creative, for yourself or as a gift, you might enjoy it.
