Directional Animals

The six most powerful Zuni Fetish animals according to Zuni cultural and religious tradition: Mountain Lion (North), Bear (West), Badger/Bobcat (South), Wolf (East), Eagle (Sky) and Mole (Earth/Underworld). These six correspond to the four cardinal directions plus earth and sky. Each direction has both Protection/Healing and Hunting/Prey seats, Badger is the Protective Southern animal whereas the Bobcat is the Hunter counterpart, all other seats remain the same across both Protective and Hunting sets. Each direction also corresponds to a particular color: North - Yellow, South - Red, West - Blue, East - White, Earth - Black, and Sky - ALL-colored.
