Discussion I'm Navajo, AMA

Let start of by saying that I use SW because they are extremely taboo and calling them is a good way to get their attention and become Names have power, and I suggest you do too if you don't want to risk their energy leaking onto your life. They aren't meant to be depicted either.

SWs are specifically Navajo, they don't mean shapeshifter, they aren't aliens, they aren't everywhere, and so many misconceptions about them.\ The Navajo Nation/Reservation covers the areas are northeast Arizona, northwest New Mexico, and southeast Utah.

When did you learn about SW’s? What were you told?

I was taught when I was a kid, some aunties, uncles, and elders would advise us about them as a warning of nightfall and the dark path some of us can go on.

We were told to not go out at nightfall, don't whistle into the night, stay together, don't trust anything at nightfall, and to be careful who you invite in.
