Excerpt from Lost Indian Magic: A Mystery Story of the Red Man as He Lived Before the White Men Came
Like all primitive peoples they personified the hidden powers Of Nature, most Of which were feared, and they supposed that back Of all disaster stood some evil intelligence that must be appeased, or fought, with the aid Of some other power pos~ sessing greater virtue.
Naturally enough, the power that, in their Opin ion, brought the greatest protection against evil, and produced the greatest blessings in abundant crops, successful hunting, and strength in battle, was symbolized by some image or Obj ect which took to itself the mighty power and gave out its magical charm, or great medicine, to the fortunate tribe who possessed it.
