Quote: Some Navajo also believe that skinwalkers have the ability to steal the "skin" or body of a person. The Navajo believe that if you lock eyes with a skinwalker they can absorb themselves into your body. It is also said that skinwalkers avoid the light and that their eyes glow like an animal's when in human form and when in animal form their eyes do not glow as an animal's would. http://www.monstropedia.org/index.php?title=Skin-walker Here's an interesting story about an experience a Native American had as a teenager while on a visit to grandma's on the rez... Navajo Rez: Skinwalker http://www.yourghoststories.com/real-ghost-story.php?story=5918 The descriptions for skinwalkers parallel that of the descriptions of jinn, or djinn. Soon, hopefully, I'll post what I've found written about the djinn for comparison. Witchcraft and practitioners of 'Witchery Way' are mentioned in this writing, which put me in mind of seiðr magic, and seiðr practitioners (as mentioned in An interesting picture from Norway). I think there's some point in which the human who practices the magic mingles with the reptilian. After time I think we'll find those connections. Quote: Powers/Weaknesses Like the werewolf, the skin-walker is a shape-shifter, human at times, and at other times taking on the aspect of an animal, usually at night. In its animal form, a skin-walker may be virtually anything, including a wolf, coyote, fox, bear, owl, or crow. Although skin-walkers may have a favorite form that they customarily use, they have the power to become anything they wish. In animal form, a skin-walker is very fast and impossible to catch. According to Navajo legend, skinwalkers can have the power to read human thoughts. They also possess the ability to make any human or animal noise they choose. A skinwalker may use the voice of a relative or the cry of an infant to lure victims out of the safety of their homes. Both humans and animals can easily tell a skin-walker from a real animal, as the skin-walker is unable to move completely naturally in animal form. For some unexplainable reason even a well seasoned skinwalker cannot obtain the perfect animal gait or leave the proportionally correct sized animal tracks. A skin-walker can only be defeated if one can discover his or her human identity. This is possible if the skin-walker is tracked back to his or her home, or, in some stories, if a skin-walker is wounded and the same injury is later noted on a human. It is said that if a Navajo was to know the person behind the skinwalker they had to pronounce the full name by saying, "[Name], you are a skin-walker !". And about three days later that person would either get sick or die for the wrong that they have committed. While it is virtually impossible to kill a skin-walker in human form, there are magical ways to protect oneself and even to kill a skin-walker. Traditional faith healers can perform ceremonies to protect one from the danger of skin-walkers, or a person going out at night can cover his or her body with corn pollen, cedar ash, or juniper berries. " If a person discovers the human identity of a skin-walker, he or she can kill the witch http://www.monstropedia.org/index.php?title=Skin-walker It's funny that earlier tonight I woke up from a strange dream. I won't go into all of it, but to say there was a point that I became aware that an old married couple, and a cop that became part of the unfolding scene, were shapeshifters. At one point I walked up to the old man and said "You're a shapeshifter". I recall nothing happened (and thinking about it). Somehow, I was able to relay to others around, without so many words, that something treacherous was happening and I needed my back watched so I could get away from these unreal people... and those around understood it and became vigilant on the scene so I could get out and away. Now that I've looked up the page referring to accusing the person who's a skinwalker, I now take note that it says to call the person by their full name along with the accusation. I want to add one more note. In Classic 'V' neck... reptilian style, I said: Quote: "I don't think 'V' necks are exclusively reptilian, just like red eye, but I do think they are a particular reptilian trait." What I'm basing that on is that sometime after becoming aware of a 'V' neck distinction when cruising those unique photos, I'd been visited by a neighbor very early one morning while I was out on the back porch... she was outside in her yard and noticed I was outside on the back porch (next door) and came over for a short visit. She's my friends friend, whom I've had acquaintance with and more recently have hung out with more, she and I going to swap meet type events together and what-not. This particular morning, out of the corner of my eye I observed she had a 'V' neck, and this is after my thinking it was a shapeshifter thing. I had to question myself. "Now do I think this is a shapeshifter pretending to be [so-and-so] standing here near me? Or is this just [so-and-so] and a 'V' neck is not necessarily exclusively reptilian?" The latter instantly won out and I couldn't consider or entertain any idea otherwise... though really, I should have asked her later "Did you visit me on the back porch this morning?" Or yesterday, whenever, lol. Interesting too, that when I saw it on her it was early in the morning. The image of Amy Winehouse with the 'V' neck was taken early in the morning also, at 6 am.
