Skinwalkers

Send us a textTrigger warning for all pour native folks out there that don't speak about this subject. Please move to the next episode and we love all of you.   For those who stayed...In the Navajo or the Diné culture, a skinwalker is a type of harmful witch who has the ability to turn into, possess, or disguise themselves as an animal. This witch is called “yee naaldlooshii” by the Diné, which translates to “with it, he goes on all fours.” It is just one of several types of Diné witches and is considered the most volatile and dangerous.  In order to become a Skinwalker, he or she must be initiated by a secret society that requires the evilest of deeds – the killing of a close family member, most often a sibling. After this task has been completed, the individual then acquires supernatural powers, which gives them the ability to shape-shift into animals. Most often, they are seen in the form of coyotes, wolves, foxes, cougars, dogs, and bears, but can take the shape of any animal. They then wear the skins of the animals they transform into, hence, the name Skinwalker.  Don't forget to email us your stories for the Halloween Bonus episode.
