Cherokee Mythology's Nunu Wii: Unveiling Ancient Medicinal Secrets

In a recent video posted on YouTube, the legend of the Nun Yunu Wi, a monster of Cherokee mythology, was explored. The Nun Yunu Wi, also known as "dressed in stone," is described as a human-like being with skin as hard as stone that no weapon can pierce. It carries a magical cane that points out victims and has other magical powers. Despite its monstrous size and appearance, it is described as a powerful sorcerer or medicine man that interacts with spirits and can control people's minds through sound vibration, herbs, and time. The video tells the story of a scout who saw the Nun Yunu Wi on the opposite ridge of a mountain while on a hunting expedition. The scout saw the old man point his cane, then draw it back and smell the end of it. He then pointed the cane in the direction of their hunting camp and drew it back several times, before starting to move towards the settlement. The scout hurried back to the camp to warn the others of the impending danger. The video goes on to explain that the Nun Yunu Wi can be weakened by the presence of virgin, innocent blood. So, the tribe asked for the help of seven women who were sick in that way. They stripped themselves and stood along the path where the old hairy man would come. When the Nun Yunu Wi saw the first woman, he started crying out in the Cherokee language, "you my grandchild are in a very bad state." He then tried to hurry past the other women but began vomiting blood and fell down on the trail. The tribe used seven sourwood spears to pin him to the ground while he was weak but awake. They then piled logs over him and set them on fire. This story is a fascinating glimpse into the mythology and folklore of the Cherokee tribe. It's interesting to see how they used their knowledge of the Nun Yunu Wi to protect themselves and their tribe. The video is a great reminder of the importance of understanding and respecting the beliefs and traditions of different cultures. If you're interested in learning more about the Nun Yunu Wi and other cryptids, be sure to check out the full video on YouTube. And as always, keep an eye out for any signs of these elusive creatures in the wild. Who knows, you might just be the one to capture the next big piece of evidence. It's worth noting that the video is based on the account of James Mooney, a self-taught anthropologist and ethnographer who published many works on the Cherokee and other Native American tribes in the 1900s. Without his writings, we would not know about these stories. I find it important to explore and share stories like this one, as they help to broaden our understanding of the world and the creatures that may inhabit it. I encourage all of you to keep an open mind and an open heart as you explore the world of cryptids and the unknown.
