Prayer of a Navajo Shaman

Washington Matthews

Description

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. With other Navajo prayers in my collection the act of supplication is preceded by the offering of a sacrifice, and in the prayer the god is reminded of the votive offering and told what blessings are ex pected in return. With the prayer under consideration, no reference is made to a previous sacrifice and, as far as I could learn, none pre cedes it, although a song in praise of the war god is sometimes sung as a prelude.
