About Shepherd Crook

Walking stick, staff, cane…..whatever you call it, crooks have been a favorite for the wise man, shepherd, or light hiker for centuries! Traditionally, crooks are a versatile accessory which can be used for various purposes including serving as a weapon or even a status symbol. Consider uses in popular culture and all of our favorite characters who make use of a staff in many capacities: Donatello, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle, who uses a staff as a weapon, Gandalf, the sage wizard in Lord of The Rings, who uses a staff with magical powers, and Xena, Warrior Princess, whose friend and sidekick, Gabrielle, uses a staff known as the "Amazon fighting staff". Centuries ago or present day, the shepherd's crook is still a recognizable symbol.
