ABOUT THIS EPISODE
In Episode 3 of Warnings Our Elders Gave Us, I share a warning passed down to me by my Heiltsuk aunt, one she believed could protect our family.
She warned me never to leave personal things behind: strands of hair, cigarette butts, or anything closely connected to you. She believed there were people who practiced dark magic and could use these items to work harmful spells against others.
She also warned me to keep my doors locked and to be careful who I trusted.
Do I know whether these things were true? No. I can only share what my aunt believed and the warnings she cared enough to pass down to me.
Whether you see her warning as a spiritual teaching, an old belief, or simply a lesson about protecting yourself and being careful who you trust, it stayed with me throughout my life.
These are the stories and teachings our elders left with us. By sharing them, we help preserve them for future generations.
