Hopi’s Encounter With Maasaw – The Skeleton Man And His Gift Of Sacred Knowledge

Ellen Lloyd - AncientPages.com - The Hopi Indians' encounter with Maasaw was very emotional and frightening.

His physical appearance was so horrifying that many of the Hopi Indians ran. Some of the Hopi had the courage to stay because they had been looking for him for such a long time. They wanted to listen to Maasaw and receive spiritual wisdom.

The remarkable encounter with Maasaw is one of the reasons why the Hopi are today considered keepers of sacred knowledge.

The Hopi Indians have a very rich mythological tradition stretching back over centuries and they have stories about their ancestral journeys through three worlds to the Fourth World, where the people live today.

According to Hopi legends, Maasaw (Masaw, Massau, Masauwu) was a spirit that could not die and he was therefore appointed to be the Guardian of the Underworld. Hopi mythology describes him as a Skeleton Man and Lord of the Dead.
