It was Spider Woman who preserved the Dine (Navajo) people from the evils that surrounded them when they emerged into the Third-World. For this reason she became one of their most cherished Gods. It was also Spider Women who taught the Dine to weave. Spider Women told the Dine ancestors of the first weaving loom constructed by her husband. He made the cross poles of sky and earth cords; the warp sticks of sun rays, lengthwise to cross the woof; the healds of rock crystal and sheet lightning, to maintain the condition of the fibers. For the batten he choose a sun halo to seal the joints, and a comb of white shell to clean the strands.

Bertha Curley, great old-time Navajo weaver, has done a great job on this ceremonial weaving. Bertha is from the Kaibeto area of the Navajo Nation. This intriguing rug is strongly representative of the Navajo culture. Navajo ceremonialism centers on a desire for healing: not only physical health, but also mental, emotional, spiritual, and even material well being. The Holy People portrayed in Yei rugs are believed to restore health when called upon in a properly conducted ceremony. There are more natural colors in this weaving than I want to count. This weaving measures 19x18 inches.
