Description
Excerpt from The Prayer of a Navajo Shaman
With other Navajo prayers in my collection the act of supplication is preceded by the offering of a sacrifice, and in the prayer the god is reminded of the votive offering and told what blessings are ex pected in return. With the prayer under consideration, no reference is made to a previous sacrifice and, as far as I could learn, none pre cedes it, although a song in praise of the war god is sometimes sung as a prelude.
