The juniper berry is an important component in traditional Navajo spiritual beliefs. Early Navajo culture was very firmly rooted in matters concerning an ongoing relationship with the spirit world. A number of rituals and other practices were held that were meant to keep evilness and other dark elements at bay. Wearing a Navajo ghost bead necklace made from juniper berries was just one of the ways in which the Navajo people accomplished this. Juniper berries make up the Navajo ghost bead necklace, but that was not the only way in which juniper berries were used in these spiritual rituals. Dried juniper ashes were also applied to the skin before making any trips into the darkness of the night. Spreading juniper ashes around the bed was also believed to provide an additional level of protection from evil spirits, bad dreams, and other undesirables.

Navajo ghost beads are still widely available to this day. These necklaces represent a powerful element of Navajo spiritual beliefs. At the same time, they offer a small but profound piece of history from the Navajo people. These necklaces speak volumes of culture, spiritual beliefs and history, which is a lot coming from something as unassuming as a necklace.
