 Wiharu Kachina  by Christopher Pardell, Legends Kachina Dancers Native American Collection Limited to 2,500 pc's. Issued October 1994.

Color brochure with all the stories will accompany the collection.

A true symbol of the Hopi and Zuni spiritual life, Kachinas are believed to be supernatural beings with vast powers to confer prosperity in the form of abundant harvest. Living part of the year disembodied spirits in their own land, they leave their homes and travel to the world of mortals upon the arrival of the winter solstice. Taking up residence within the bodies of men, they remain there until the Niman Kachina festival in July.

"Around here our crops and our plants are growing poorly. You will come soon to bring them drink
When they have grown . . . when . . . the little ones taste them they will surely be happy.
Therefore, you will come soon to bring us drink."
-The Kachina Fathers

The fearsome Wiharu kachinas always come as a pair. They make horrible noises, dragging their saws along the side of the house or on the ground. All the while, they keep up a steady stamping that makes the turtle-shell rattles on their legs sound ominously. They are supposed to be able to eat a child whole: from the very earliest age, children hear stories of these monsters  - how they would descend on children playing near the village and haul them away to cook and eat. So, it is no wonder that the children are petrified at the appearance of this kachina. Usually only dark colored clothes are put on this kachina pair, who should have horns. The feather fan is made of turkey feathers which are placed close together to form a large mass behind the head that makes the figures appear much taller and broader.
