Blessingway: With Three Versions of the Myth Recorded and...
Wyman, Leland C. / Haile, Berard / Fontana, Bernard L.
An outstanding work crafted from the handwritten pages of translations from the Navajo of the late Father Berard Haile, giving three separate versions of the Blessingway rite, with each version consisting of a prose text accompanied by the ritual songs and prayers. It offers valuable insights into the character and use of the Blessingway rite, its ceremonial procedures, its mythology, and its dry paintings.
