Product Description
Weaves together the stories of tiny elusive Spider Woman as she is mythologized by the Keresan Pueblo, Hopi and Navajo people.
From the Back Cover
On the Trail of Spider Woman weaves together the stories of tiny, elusive Spider Woman as she is mythologized by the Keresan Pueblo, Hopi, and Navajo people. Each tribe sees this mythic figure differently, yet there is no need to depict her in a realistic form. Instead she is described in symbols that reflect her attributes. She is a metaphor for somethinh small or invisible yet very powerful. She represents creativity, spirit, old agem and wisdom. Following the trail of Spider Woman means comparing the myths and stories surrounding her with images portrayed at petroglyph sites. Though the people who made the petroglyphs have since migrated to new lands, her trail stretches back into the canyons of Utah where centuries ago people lived and engraved her story on the rocks for future generations to read. The petroglyphs and pictographs are a veil between the observer and other, transcendental realms. They are a portal through which to enter the world of Spider Woman.
