Y[^u]! On high you repose, O Blue Hawk, there at the far distant lake.
The blue tobacco has come to be your recompense. Now you have arisen
at once and come down. You have alighted midway between them where
they two are standing. You have spoiled their souls immediately. They
have at once become separated.
I am a white man; I stand at the sunrise. The good sperm shall never
allow any feeling of loneliness. This white woman is of the Paint
(iyust[)i]) clan; she is called (iyust[)i]) W[^a]y[)i][']. We shall
instantly turn her soul over. We shall turn it over as we go toward
the Sun Land. I am a white man. Here where I stand it (her soul) has
attached itself to (literally, "come against") mine. Let her eyes in
their sockets be forever watching (for me). There is no loneliness
where my body is.
_Explanation._
This formula, from A`y[^u][n]in[)i]'s book, is used to separate two
lovers or even a husband and wife, if the jealous rival so desires. In
the latter case the preceding formula, from the same source, would be
used to forestall this spell. No explanation of the ceremony is given,
but the reference to tobacco may indicate that tobacco is smoked
or thrown into the fire during the recitation. The particular hawk
invoked (giya[']giya[']) is a large species found in the coast region
but seldom met with in the mountains. Blue indicates that it brings
trouble with it, while white in the second paragraph indicates that
the man is happy and attractive in manner.
In the first part of the formula the speaker calls upon the Blue
Hawk to separate the lovers and spoil their souls, i.e., change their
feeling toward each other. In the second paragraph he endeavors
to attract the attention of the woman by eulogizing himself. The
expression, "we shall turn her soul over," seems here to refer to
turning her affections, but as generally used, to turn one's soul is
equivalent to killing him.
