5 & 6 in Mike's book

2 more Mayan gods in Mike's book. A very funny god of the underworld and a goddess of suicide (how strange) on the half page. Can't wait to see what Ballooky makes of this.

The owl and the suicide one are a little scary! Awesome, but scary! I see no "Hope" or "forgiveness," which seems sad knowing the human condition...

The Navajo have stories about Owls, crows, mice, and coyotes. These characters are considered helpers of the witches and evil spirits.

Walking my dogs this morning I saw two beautiful coyotes living in the park behind my house.

Never carry or handle feathers from ravens, crows, owls, buzzards, or most any bird because you will get boils. (Since it is difficult to know the source of many feathers it is best to leave all alone!)

WOW! These are really interesting and different for sure. Definitely freaky but cool--great detail!
