Patrick Bernard New Hopi Eagle Dance

Hopi Eagle Dance
Wichi tahe tume rai
Oh ho yahu wey hu ya
Wichi tahe tume rai
Oh ha nyka
Helping spirits have animal forms. They can especially appear in the form of eagle and bring the god's answer. They are the messengers of the celestial spirits and speak through the shaman's voices. Eagle feathers are honored among all tribes. They are used, fastened to sticks, in initiation ceremonies. The eagle from which the feathers are taken is regarded as sacred and is left free. The relation between the shaman and the eagle is spiritual in nature and of a mystical greatness that the desacralized modern religious mentality finds it difficult to envisage. Experiencing a magical-transcendental transformation, the shaman goes out of the self and acquires a superhuman mode of being.
