EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable artifact from the Pacific Northwest Coast Indian Haida Tribe, known as the Soul Trap. Used by a Shaman in their spiritual practices, this object holds immense religious significance within the tribal culture. Displayed at the prestigious Museum of Mankind in London, it stands as a testament to the rich native heritage of North America. The Soul Trap is an intricately designed piece, featuring an animal face meticulously crafted with bone and inlaid with vibrant colors. Its symmetrical composition exudes a sense of balance and harmony that reflects the deep-rooted beliefs of its creators. Dating back to the 20th century, this artifact serves as a tangible link to ancient shamanic traditions practiced by American Indians. The concept behind this soul trap lies in its ability to capture and contain negative energies or spirits that may affect individuals' well-being. Through rituals performed by skilled shamans like Mike Dixon, they could harness these trapped souls for healing purposes or release them back into nature. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported into another realm where spirituality intertwines with artistry. It reminds us of the profound connection between humans and nature—a bond cherished by indigenous cultures around the world. Let this image serve as a reminder of our shared history and inspire us to appreciate and preserve these invaluable cultural treasures for generations to come.
