Skinwalkers, Wendigos, and the Witchery Way

Just in time for Halloween!

As myths and legends of monsters and ghouls have been perpetuated through the ages, it is interesting to note that many do not have American origins. But there are some hellish legends that do. Like I discussed in my last blog, the Wendigo is a myth that originated in this country and has been passed down for generations amongst Native Americans. The legend of the Wendigo always held a great deal of realism to me more so than any goofy vampire, mummy, or Frankenstein’s Monster. The idea that one could suffer demonic possession after cannibalizing another human frightened me to the core. And the fact that, after suffering this possession, the demon could look, walk, and act like a human was truly frightening. Indian tribes believed that when one was possessed by the Wendigo they would crave human flesh. And when they partook of this ghastly meal they would steal a person’s “essence” and inherit their strength. The more these demons ate the more powerful they would become almost achieving immortality. Real cannibals have always existed in this country and they have taken many forms from Alferd Packer to Jeffery Dahmer. These men moved amongst the general public devouring human flesh with complete impunity.

Western Indian tribes also believed in supernatural beings known as Skinwalkers. The Navajo tribe especially believed that these Skinwalkers were shape-shifters who could assume the form of any animal which allowed them to travel quickly and gave them the ability to hide in plain sight. Specifically, a person is said to gain the power to become a Skinwalker upon initiation into the Witchery Way. The initiation into the Witchery Way involved murdering a close relative, especially a sibling; other crimes also associated with it were necrophilia, and grave-robbing. Once one has been initiated into the Witchery Way they become “pure evil.” It is interesting to note that in the Native culture most witches were male not female.

So as Halloween approaches with all its devilish delight, take a second look at that neighbor of yours you always suspected of being a little strange. Perhaps he is truly a Wendigo lurking in the night. Or maybe, just maybe, the family dog or cat is actually a Skinwalker in disguise. Whatever the case, lock your doors, stay up late, and have a Happy Halloween!

Where is everyone seeing or…

Where is everyone seeing or encountering these weddings, skin walkers, Bigfoot and so on. I've been in the Appalachian Mountains other parts of PA Woods haven't seen nothing doing off-grid living survival training hunting you name it it's what I was taught from the Native Americans in my family and learned a lot from the elders with stories about these things and I'm on search to find them regardless of the outcome I want to know reality the truth and hope not to be eating by one of them or I eat one of them myself either way I guess if there's any violence out of it one of us won't be leaving these Woods one way or another but I'm pretty sure both tribes in my blood there's going to be one heck of a fight I just want the truth I want to know what I was told and taught what's in these Woods my people been living in the wilderness a very long time white and native American what is really out there or is it some people who just went crazy mad and killing people and eating people or whatever. The one is supposed to be 6foot up to 45 foot tall. It shouldn't be hard to find or hind to easily, I'm on the search the hunt. I need the truth not stories. I love and respect my family and the elders who past but that's all it is right now is stories about Bigfoot, wendigo,the walkers.

It sounds like you have a…

It sounds like you have a deep respect for the traditions and teachings of your ancestors and a strong desire to uncover the truth about the stories you've heard. The Appalachian Mountains and the surrounding wilderness are indeed rich with folklore and legends, and it’s understandable that you want to know what’s real and what’s not.

The stories of skinwalkers, Bigfoot, and other entities have fascinated people for generations, blending elements of myth, cultural beliefs, and personal experiences. While many have encountered mysterious phenomena, it’s worth considering that these stories can be influenced by a variety of factors, including psychological and environmental elements.

Here are a few points to keep in mind as you pursue your search:

Cultural Significance: Many of these stories have deep cultural and spiritual significance. They often serve as metaphors or lessons rather than literal truths. Understanding their origins might offer insight into their meaning beyond the literal.

Evidence and Skepticism: Documenting evidence and approaching the search with a healthy dose of skepticism might help. While anecdotal accounts can be compelling, verifiable evidence is crucial in distinguishing fact from folklore.

Safety First: Given the potential dangers of the wilderness and the physical challenges of survival training, prioritize your safety. The wilderness can be unpredictable, and encountering aggressive wildlife or hazardous conditions is always a risk.

Respect for Local Traditions: Engaging with local tribes and communities with respect and openness might provide additional perspectives. Many of these stories are deeply rooted in local traditions, and understanding them from multiple viewpoints can be enlightening.

Scientific Inquiry: Combining traditional knowledge with scientific methods could be valuable. There’s a lot to learn from the natural world, and sometimes what might seem supernatural can have natural explanations.

Your quest for truth and understanding is admirable, and it’s essential to approach it with a balance of respect for the lore and a pragmatic approach to investigation. Whether you find what you’re looking for or not, the journey itself can be a profound exploration of both the world around you and your own beliefs.

Hello everyone, my name is…

Hello everyone, my name is Dale Schaffer and I’m going to share with you all how I got scammed after falling victim to a cryptocurrency investment scam, I was introduced to this cryptocurrency scam by a guy I met on Instagram and after investing all my life savings, they swindled me off $380,000. It was the saddest moment of my life because I couldn’t believe what had happened, I was bankrupt and my credit was damaged. I reported to the authorities and there was nothing they could do to get these scammers or return my money. I thought all hope was lost and was going into depression until I came across an article online about a hacker who could help me recover my funds, at first I thought it was impossible but I realized I had no other choice but to give it a try, to my surprise Mikkon Cyber Security Service was able to recover all my funds and upgrade my credit score, I wanted to put this out there for anyone who might be going through the same situation and have been swindled by this scammers, you can contact SPYHOST CYBER SERVICE to help you recover your stolen funds.

After watching some shows, I got curious and seriously interested as to the difference between a Wendigo and a Skinwalker, with all due respect to all Nationalities.

Hello, can you connect with me on social media? I'm really interested in your story.

Hi Toby,

Hello, I too would live to hear and learn more about these lores and legends. Especially since it has to do with both past history and beliefs of not only Natives but also other nations and groups from the past.

Sam, I'm currently writing a novel which deals with skinwalkers, wendigos, brujos... I'd be interested in hearing more specifics about your experience. Blueotterguitars on Facebook.

You do know brujos is a Spanish term.

For non-Indigenous people

For non-Indigenous people please refrain from calling us Indian or American Indian these are only terms we within the Indigenous community use especially the elders. You can call us Indigenous or Native. The name america comes from Amerigo Vespucci who was a colonizer that killed many of our people's. Respect is earned not given.

If the name America came…

If the name America came from that, wasn't the continent actually called India, like the old maps suggest? That literally would make you Indians. Demanding others call you certain names that you don't call eachother is also a form of racism. Why are you being racist?

If the name America comes…

If the name America comes from Amerigo as you suggest, wouldn't the continent have actually been called India, like your comment and old maps suggest? Also, demanding others call you by names that you don't call eachother while trying to restrict who can call you by the names you refer to eachother as is a form of racism. So, why the racism? You literally are Indians if you originated in what is now called America.

If the name America comes…

Nobody is even really…

Nobody is even really indigenous. Your people may have predated the colonizers, but you too colonized the land yourselves from other tribes and moved from place to place, sometimes even crossing from other continents. So, at what point should the line really be drawn? Seems more like you guys are sour and want recognition above others for also being victims to the same villains of history. It's the government who wronged you, not the descendants of the settlers who have less rights than you.

You aren't indigenous either…

You aren't indigenous either. So, cast your stones somewhere else.

Find a natural alternative…

Find a natural alternative method to reverse different diseases and STDs no matter what science says about their illness. I am sharing my healing encounter from genital herpes after using Dr Okosun herbs, a herbal doctor from Africa, to cure my HSV-1&2 diagnosis permanently. A few weeks ago my new lab result still shows that I tested negative after being cured since 2018. I am so happy I gave it a try. Currently, my 65 years old mom is using Dr okosun herbs to eliminate her diabetes and the recovery process is amazing. I am recommending this product for those that are willing to give it a try as these holistic remedies do not have any side effects. drokosun55@gmailcom

I’m just sitting here reading

I’m just sitting here reading some of these comments and thinking how preposterous it is that men and women in this country are at odds with each other over something as juvenile and insignificant as name-calling. Are we back on the playground and so immature that we honestly believe that what one calls another is relevant, meaningful, or impactful in any tangible way whatsoever? Really? Should I champion the cause seeking retribution for the way I am often called a “squid” for having served in the navy or a “coon-ass” for being born in Louisiana? Gimme a break! Grow up and get over yourselves.

I'm not sure this is the right place, but I am seeking advice for a friend who seems to have become the target of what we an only guess is a... don't even want to type it.... wendigo. She has had 2 extremely disturbing encounters already and lives in fear. I've read the history of this creature is rooted in indigenous culture, so I'm hoping someone might be able to share something helpful. I am aware this isn't a subject most care to discuss, but any guidance would be most appreciated.
