Mom According to the Navajo Legend, Spider
woman instructed the Navajo women how to weave on a loom, which Spider Man told
them how to make. The crosspoles were made of sky and Earth cords, the
warpsticks, of Sun rays, the healds of rock crystals and sheet lightning. The
batten was a sun halo, white shell made the comb. There were four spindles: the
first was a zigzag of lightning with a whorl of cannel coal; one a stick of
flash lightning with a whorl of turquoise; a third had a stick of sheet
lightning with a whorl of abalone; a rain streamer formed the stick of the
fourth, and it's whorl was a white shell. These are rugs that I have woven, and which I have created the designs.
