The Dreamcatcher
Legend
Dreamcatcher like me a lot. I think they are very
nice for the form that they have, the web design, and the ornaments which they
are made like feathers, beads… In general the craft things like me so much and
the dreamcatcher is my fave one, but the thing about this that like me the most
is the story, the legend.
It says thus: Once upon a time… xdd! no, this legend
stats when Iktomi, the great master of wisdom appeared in spider´s form in
front of Lakota, the Sioux Indian´s old spiritual leader. So Iktomi spoke him
about the circle of life and that, in life, there are bad and good forces that
can intervene and guide you in the right or wrong direction. Then Iktomi took a
willow hoop and some feathers, beads and horsehair and he began to weave a
spider web. Finally Iktomi finished weaving and he gave the dreamcatcher to
Lakota. So Iktomi told him that he had to use the web to catch the beautiful
ideas, dreams and visions of him and his people, and the evil would go through
the hole in the web´s centre.
And now the dreamcatchers are hung over the beds to
scrutinize the people´s dreams. Personality I don´t believe in the “power” of
this element, I have one just for decoration :)
