Skinwalkers of the Navajo: Part III

Skinwalker or "Yee Naaldlooshii"

Hello Truth Seekers!

As promised, here is Skinwalkers of the Navajo Part III.

In my last post (Skinwalkers of the Navajo Part II), we had the privilege of learning what a Skinwalker is from a Native American insider, Chief Dan. The legend of the Skinwalker was passed down to him first hand from his grandparents. Now today, in Part III, you will see an Exclusive Interview of a woman who encountered this terrifying phenomenon herself! In cryptofourcorners' own words, This was the most pleasant story this young woman could tell us a few years ago. The other stories involved some terrible circumstances and death as far as Skinwalker goes.

Thank you once again cryptofourcorners for this great interview!

So without further ado....

"Amelia and the Skinwalker"

Until next time,

Happy Hunting!

Skinwalkers of the Navajo: Part I

Hello Truth Seekers!

The Skinwalker or Shape Shifter lore can be found in cultures throughout the world, but nowhere else is the "Yee Naaldlooshii" (literally, "with it, he goes on all fours" in the Navajo language) taken more seriously than in Navajo country. And for good reason. The legend of the Skinwalker is alive and well in Indian Country as it has been for ages; sightings and stories of this phenomena are much more common that you'd expect.

With such a complex subject, I've decided to devote this and the next couple posts to the Skinwalker.

Below I have included a great video clip to get you ready for my next post!

Until, tomorrow,

Happy Hunting!

Solar Eclipse 2012 - "Ring of Fire"

Hello Truth Seekers!

Although I spent most of the day sitting by the lake soaking up the bright sun and beautiful weather with my family here in Georgia, I couldn't help but think about how differently many Native Americans in the Southwest were spending the day. Today was the first annular solar eclipse visible in the United States in nearly 18 years.

Ring Of Fire

An annular eclipse is when the moon covers up most of the sun except for the sun's outer fringe, leaving visible a ring of fire, or "annulus," which is Latin for ring. (Los Angeles Times)

While most of us were taught as children to just protect our eyes from the sun during an eclipse, viewing an eclipse is considered extremely taboo in many indigenous cultures around the world. No where else can this be seen more than in the Navajo culture, and the path of todays eclipse passed directly through the heart of the Navajo reservation.

Until Next time....

Happy Hunting!

By ICTMN Staff May 19, 2012

While millions around the world will flock to view the annular solar eclipse on Sunday at sunset, many who are smack in the middle of its shadowy path will avert their eyes. Eclipses are a bad omen in much of Indian country, and the indigenous world in general, from the Navajo to the Maya.  Read More >>
