Older Civilizations and...um..me!

I realize that this is an IMHO and MPSIMS thread at the same time…please be patient while I explain.

I’ve been watching a bunch of stuff on Discovery HD and the Discovery channel in general lately. What I’d like to know is…the beads, trinkets…etc. Is there a place that I can buy them without having to be from French Guinea or the Arctic Circle? Some of the things that they treasure as life changing, I’d like to own even though I’ve not lived the life. I realize they don’t have the luxury of the internet in most places…just a question that came to mind.
*PS…notice my post count…I ask weird crap very rarely! :wink:

Ummm…that’s called “costume jewlery” and you buy it at Walgreens.

Knock yerself out, kid.

I’m not exactly sure what you are referring to but there are many forms of what I consider occult practices and ‘dark arts’ that regards crystals as having healing properties and the like - those things are readily available. IMHO you are far better off looking to God directly for life changing.

If you are simply looking to purchase the jewelry or artwork created in those cultures, many of those people have discovered that they can generate income by selling their own productions.

Dropping “eskimo inuit art” or “eskimo inuit jewelry” brings up lots of on-line vendors such as Welcome freespiritgallery.ca - BlueHost.com (I just grabbed one site randomly and have no idea regarding their quality or honesty.)
“papuan art” produces a similar list and I suspect that you will have similar success for most group you choose, using the same method. (The smaller and more isolated the group, of course, the less likely they have begun to tie into world-wide marketing.)
