Wild Heart Painting

A symbol of the great primitive power enclosed within. The heart of an undaunted warrior. Free spirit, unwavering will. And also is a reference "Stairs to the Roof" by Tennessee Williams. «A prayer for the wild at heart kept in cages». According to Native American beliefs, the magical power of patron spirits provided protection in dangerous situations and endowed with supernatural abilities. It was from spirits that a person received primitive power and could become a shaman or a sorcerer, having received the spirit of a patron. Which endowed man with various supernatural abilities. The spirit of the Wolf, which came to man, gave him strength, courage, speed, observation, the ability to heal, to activate defensive forces before the battle for his fellow tribesmen. And also see the future. Often former shamans became sorcerers. Navajo legends tell of “black” shamans and witches who can turn into wolves, coyote bears or birds. After the transformation, shamans gain the strength and dexterity of the animal or the ability to fly. They are called the skin-walker or yeenaaldlooshii. Skin-walkers are generally considered frightening, evil, dangerous, and difficult to kill. And unlike for instance werewolves, which in the full moon completely turn into a beast they retain the human mind when handling, and from that they become even more dangerous. Legends say that the Navajo sorcerers were able to read thoughts, as well as reproduce both the human voice and any animal roar. Speak in a relative's voice or cry like a baby to lure your victim. Sorcerers also used amulets with which they could control their victim.
