About this book
Zuñi Fetiches is by Frank Hamilton Cushing, and the contents list, among others, names Zuñi philosophy, Worship of animals and Origin of Zuñi Fetichism. The contents list, among others, names Prey Gods of the Six Regions and Prey Gods of the Hunt, with entries headed Their origin.
The text adds, to its descriptions of the supernatural beings of Zuñi Theology, the statement that all of these beings are given the forms either of animals, of monsters compounded of man and beast, or of man. The text says the animal gods comprise by far the largest class. A plate description presents the fetich of the blue Wild Cat (Té-pi thlí-a-na), of the West, formed from basaltic clay of a grayish-blue color. A part headed AMULETS AND CHARMS says that in addition to the animal fetiches heretofore described, many others are found among the Zuñis as implements of their worship, and as amulets or charms for a variety of purposes.
