| R&S->Kachinas: The kachinas |
Posted on Thursday, January 10 @ 03:21:38 CST | |
AUTHOR: Michael Lomatuway'ma, Hopi
Among all Pueblo people, religion plays a vital role in dailylife. At the heart of religious life, particularly among western groups like the Hopi and Zuni, were the infinitely helpful kachinas-also sometimes called katsinas.
In a world infused by supernatural forces, each visible object had a spiritual counterpart, a divine essence as real as the thing itself.

A katsina can be an ancestor spirit, or it can be the spirit of an animal or a plant or anything that is beneficial to the Hopi.
We even have a dog katsina: dogs help the Hopi hunt.
And then, a katsina can be just an abstract thing. You don't know the meaning behind it-all you know is that it will perform for you, it brings rain, it carries messages back to whoever is making rain.
