Umleqi maphupha

Kwezinye iinkcubeko zomthonyama eMntla Melika, umzingeli iphupha okanye dream umzingeli (ngesiFrentshi : Attrape-rêve) yinto yobugcisa yemvelaphi ye-Ojibwe (ebizwa ngokuba yi- asubakatchin okanye bawajige nagwaagan kolu lwimi) yenziwe ngehupula, ihlala i- willow, kunye nothungelwano lwemisonto ngendlela yomnatha. Imihombiso eyenzileyo yahlukile kwinto nganye yokubamba amaphupha. Ngokwenkolelo edumileyo, ukubamba iphupha kuthintela amaphupha amabi ekuhlaseleni ubuthongo bomphathi wawo. Ukusebenza njengesihluzi, kuthimba amaphupha athunyelwe ngoomoya, kugcina imifanekiso emihle yobusuku kwaye kutshise imibono emibi ekukhanyeni kokuqala kwemini.

Kwinkcubeko yemveli, ababambisi bephupha baxhonywe ecaleni apho kuphuma khona ilanga, ukuze ukukhanya kwemini kutshabalalise amaphupha amabi athe azinza kubuhlanti nakwimisonto yewebhu.

Iintsomi ezininzi, ukusuka kwizizwe ezahlukeneyo zichaza imvelaphi kunye nokusebenza komthombo wephupha. Zihlala zinamanqaku amaninzi obuqhetseba phakathi kwabo: I-SENWARORS yephupha sele idluliselwe kumadoda, isigcawu, kwisilwanyana okanye iMfundiso yeThrimisi okanye iMfundiso yeTrama idluliselwa kwi-Spider Spider, njl.

Umbambisi wamaphupha ngoku ufumaneke kubugcisa beenkcubeko ezininzi zemveli eMntla Merika.

NgokukaHuron, abantu bayinxalenye yomoya, uMdali wendalo kunye nabantu. Le ibonisa amaphupha ukuze sisiqonde ngcono. Iphupha sisithuthi esivumela ukutshintshiselana phakathi komntu kunye nengqondo enkulu. Ngalo lonke ixesha ngokweNkcubeko, iphupha libonisa iimfuno zomphefumlo. Kubalulekile ukwanelisa iimfuno zomphefumlo kunaleyo yomzimba. Iphupha likuvumela ukuba uzikhulule. Iqinisekisa ibhalansi. Ukuba simamela indlela amaphupha asisinike, siyaqonda ngcono iimfuno zomphefumlo.

 Iintsomi 
Iintsomi ezininzi zenza ukuba ikwazi ukuchaza usulelo lwale nto ingcwele ebantwini. Ziyahluka ngokwezizwe kunye namaxesha avela kuzo. Amaphupha, amaphupha, isigcawu esilwanyana okanye kwifom kaThixo, i-spinader kwifom yeZilwanyana (iSpider) i-Pintur Premordial I-Algonquilwimi ye-Algonquia), abantwana "nakwiinkokeli zokomoya" (Shamans, amayeza e-MAMANE, njl. Njl.).

 Umzekelo: Intsomi kaHuron yombambisi wamaphupha 
Kude kudala, xa umhlaba usencinci, kwilali ye-Aborigine, indoda yalala nabantakwabo noodadewabo kwindlu yabo. Ngenye imini, le ndoda yayizingela ukuba ithathe isidlo senyanga elandelayo. Uye waya kude, ukuze afumane i-moose yamatyala ehamba emanzini aphuma entabeni. Wawela imilambo kunye nemilambo ngesibindi kunye nokuzimisela, ngaphandle kokubona inyamakazi, hayi i-moose kwindawo ekufutshane. Wagqiba kwelokuba aye entabeni, ecinga ukuba isidlo sasiza kufumaneka kungekudala.

Endleleni, wabona umqolomba omkhulu apho unokufumana khona nayiphi na irhamncwa. Wangena kuwo onke amathemba akhe. Emqolombeni, i-moose yayingabikho. Endaweni yoko umoya onobungozi wawulapho. Indoda ivakala kakubi, inxenye yobukho obumnyama kwezi zinzulu. Yinto ephakamayo irhamncwa. Amehlo amabala egazi, iinwele ezimnyama njengobusuku, ukuqengqeleka kunye ne-fangs elungele ukuluma inyama. Indoda yatsiba yazaleka, yoyika, ishiya isaphetha sakhe emva kwakhe, sinomthubi omncinci wethemba lokuhlala ephila.

Emva elalini, le ndoda yayingalosi iingalo ezingenalo. Akukho kutya, okanye izixhobo zokugxotha ezinye izilwanyana. Kwaye woyika xa wayecinga ukuba ubuyile. Kwangolo tye, akazange alufumana ubuthongo. Nje ukuba alele, wabona la magama mabini anemifanekiso emibini ayilungisa kwaye irhamncwa elinenwele ezimnyama zilungele ukuyiqwenga. Ngengokuhlwa elandelayo, wazama ukulala, kodwa ngaphandle kwesiphumo. Ubusuku emva kobusuku, inyanga emva kwenyanga, le ndoda yayingasakwazi ukulala. Umoya werhamncwa emehlweni egazi umbilike. Ilanga elininzi lidlula kwaye akukho nto itshintshile.

Ngobunye ubusuku, le ndoda yaphakama emva kobusuku. Waphuma edolophini, waya ehlathini. Kodwa, ndidiniwe, walala emhlabeni ogutyungelwe ngamasebe. Ngemini elandelayo ngosuku okusesikweni, umntu wavuka wachukumiseka, akazange abe nobu busuku. Wajonga phezulu, wabona iwebhu kaguli apho umbethe wokusa wagqitha. Wabulala ubusuku emva, akukho busuku. Ukususela ngoko, le ndoda isalele kufutshane neWebhu ethi, ekuseni, ikhanyisiwe kwimitha yelanga. Emva koko wathi kweli bali kubantu bakhe, owamkela le ndlela.
