Story

The Pueblo Indians believed that everything was animated by a life force. It was thought that the deceased joined the ethereal beings in their otherworldly domain up in the sky. Ceremonial dances were performed to invoke the spirits of the Cloud People, or Shiwana, a group of supernatural spirits who brought rains. The weather spirits respond to the call for rain. Magical nimbi, reflecting their radiance and carrying nourishing rains, accompany their journey through the sky. Souls can be seen swirling around them, connecting conscious desires with unconscious dreams.

Divinatory Meaning

You feel a newfound freedom as you coast through the unfamiliar terrain without the constraints of fear and resistance holding you back.
