    Ooooh Dee... Many of the Armenian jewelry workers in Los Angeles have
    these cool lampworked glass eye charms to do just that. I have one
    just in case. One of my Armenian pals gave it to me. 

    Non-native dreamcatchers won't be of much use as the ritual
    attendant on something such as that most likely won't be adhered to
    as non Natives won't have a clue. Or at best, they will have half a
    clue. 

    Only thing I am superstitious about, "fun" native symbols made by
    non Natives. Won't touch the stuff personally. Interesting that
    Christians don't seem as proprietary about their symbols as other
    cultures. Pretty easy going it seems.
