The myth
In Brazilian culture the uirapuru is the bird of enchantment: rare, heard at dawn, with a song that, according to folk tradition, silences the whole forest. Beliefs about luck and love grew around it, and artists such as Villa-Lobos turned it into music. The card imagines an uirapuru that received a spell from a pajé, so its song captures whoever hears it. It is a MYTHENOR creation. Remember that pajés are real spiritual leaders and healers of living peoples, each with their own knowledge; in the game they appear as a tribute, not as fantasy sorcerers.
